Defying Expectations - Tuesday, Period 3
When the class arrived they'd find a nervous Kaylin at the front of the class. "Karla wasn't feeling well today, so she asked me to run the class. Which was probably a huge mistake because seriously, no one wants me trying to teach them anything. Except maybe pickpocketing, which... I'm going to pretend I didn't just say - it's just 'cause I'm nervous. Anyway..."
She took a huge breath and let it out. "So... I didn't really know what to do, so I used the internetty thing and found some quotes people said about defying expectations and I thought maybe people could say which one kind of means something to them or share another one that means something to them and, well... yeah. So... here they are. And, um, I don't really know who these people are, but maybe you do."
And then she passed around sheets with some quotes on them.
1) It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.
~ Amelia Barr
2) Defy your own group. Rebel against yourself.
~ Cathy Guisewite
3) I think that sometimes when they see me in a movie they expect me to be something nasty. I mean, I play a lot of villains and you show up and they think maybe... That's why it's good to defy expectations sometimes.
~ Christopher Walken
4) Society tells you that when you're old you have to retire. You have to defy that.
~ Yoko Ono
5) It's now expected of me that I will defy expectation, so I really generally seem to be free to write what I want.
~ Jonathan Lethem
6) I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.
~ Gillian Jacobs
7) It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into this world and to be Brave, to need, to want, to hunger for ADVENTURE, to embrace Change, Chance and Risk, so that we may Breathe and know what it is to be free
~ Mae Chevrette
"Okay, so for me, I think it would be number two. The defy your group one because, well, because I ran away from everybody I knew and everything I was and I'm trying really hard to change who I am into a better person, which is really like rebelling against myself, right? Anyway, tell me which you'd choose and why."
There. She'd done it. She could breathe now.
