Keshia studied in the ninth grade in her school. She was a very popular girl and a good student. One day, the teacher was late. The children began playing with a ball in the class. This was against the rules. The children did not notice that the teacher was coming. When the teacher entered the class, everyone rushed back to his seat and Alex was left holding the ball. The teacher was very angry at their behaviour. The students began blaming Alex, saying he had brought the ball and was trying to show them some tricks. The teacher decided to punish Alex for playing in the class. Most students remained quiet, but Keshia told the teacher that it was not Alex alone who was to blame. All of them had been playing. The teacher was angry with the whole class, but appreciated Keshia’s courage in clearing Alex’s name.
