1
I just recently realized that the majority of my school days are over.
2
I don't know about anyone else, but I used to think to myself, Ugh, school's never gonna end.
3
12 years plus college is so long to spend just in school.
4
And now, all of a sudden, it's practically over.
5
And it's like, w-what?
6
What happened?
7
Wait, I'm not ready to be an adult yet!
8
And you know what else is scary?
9
I don't remember pretty much anything I learned from grade 6 up.
10
It's just a jumble of English papers and random history I didn't care about.
11
Kinda makes you question the education system when you think about it.
12
So, I don't remember a lot of the things I studied during school, but I do have a lot of dumb, random memories that I, for some reason, haven't forgotten about over the years.
13
For example, in first grade, I lost my front left tooth in the middle of class and started bleeding all over the place.
14
And the teacher had to stop in the middle of class to get me a tissue
15
and one of those little teeth envelopes to hold the tooth I just spat out.
16
I don't know if schools still use those, but they were the funniest concept to me.
17
Like you come home.
18
Oh mom, you got mail.
19
Oh, what is it?
20
Oh, it's not much.
21
It's just my freaking gross saliva covered baby tooth I ripped out of my head in the middle of school.
22
Does school still do this?
23
I don't know.
24
I hope so.
25
Oh, dude, that's a funny memory.
26
I bet you don't remember what you were learning about while you bled on everything.
27
Nope, you're wrong.
28
We were learning about emperor penguins.
29
Thanks for remembering all those important details, brain.
30
Appreciate ya.
31
I also remember everyone in school kind of fit into a category.
32
Athletes, popular kids, nerds, anime nerds, emos, you name them.
33
What kind of kid was I in school?
34
You guessed it!
35
The quiet one who never talked at all.
36
Growing up, I was a shy, quiet person, and I always only had one or two friends in a class, if any.
37
I mean, I'm still pretty reserved, but I mean, that's not the point.
38
I was so shy that one time my nose started bleeding randomly in the middle of a class, and I was too quiet to get up and excuse myself to go to the bathroom or the nurse.
39
So I silently just raised my hand, waiting to get permission to leave.
40
And you know what happened?
41
The teacher took five minutes to call on me.
42
I spent five minutes panicking, trying my best not to bleed on anything.
43
Looking back, there was a lot of blood involved in these memories.
44
Ooh, one time a teacher asked the class a question, and a few people raised their hand, but as he was looking around the room, we made eye contact.
45
Oh god.
46
Jaden!
47
Crap.
48
Everyone knows, if you don't want to be called on, don't make eye contact.
49
It's school 101.
50
I- I don't know.
51
He went on to someone else who had their hand raised, which he should have done in the first place.
52
If someone doesn't have their hand raised, it means they don't have the answer.
53
Don't be mad when you call on someone without their hand raised and they don't have an answer.
54
So he continued his lecture, and I started calming down from the surprise spotlight.
55
But a few minutes later, he had another question.
56
Can anyone define a peninsula?
57
Oh, I know what a peninsula is, but I don't know how to describe it, so I won't raise my hand.
58
Jaden!
59
What the- are you actually trying to give me a seizure?
60
I- I- I don't- do you know?
61
No, but- well, I- I mean yes, I- I know what it is.
62
Then he yelled, Then tell me!
63
The class laughed because he was being sarcastic.
64
I thought it was funny too, but for some reason I almost started crying.
65
He didn't call on me the rest of the year.
66
Alongside being the shy girl, I was also known as being the art kid.
67
I think everyone who's artsy in school can relate relate.
68
Whenever someone found out you like to draw, it would immediately turn to, You like to draw?
69
Can you draw me?
70
And the answer would always be, Heh heh.
71
Anyway, like the nice way of saying, Heh heh, that's a silly question.
72
No, of course I don't want to draw you.
73
And several years later to this day, people are still asking me if I would draw them things.
74
And the answer is still, heh heh.
75
No. In my middle school art class on the last day of school, we had a little celebration end of the year art competition.
76
Not a drawing contest, but a who's the most passionate about
77
and is most likely going to do something with it in their life
78
and not just drop it and get a day job sitting in a cubicle all day.
79
Contest.
80
Me, having pretty much zero self-confidence, already accepted the fact that someone else would get it.
81
I wasn't sad or anything.
82
I just knew in my head people weren't going to vote for me because, one, I never really talked to people and it was a class vote, and two, I don't know, I just didn't think I was good enough.
83
But to my surprise, I actually won!
84
I was so startled when the teacher called my name, like, what?
85
Me?
86
Are you sure?
87
You don't want to count the votes again?
88
Kathy's pretty good.
89
Everyone likes Kathy.
90
Frickin' Kathy.
91
Then high school happened, and I met my high school art teacher.
92
This guy was...
93
I don't know how to describe him.
94
I've never met someone so...
95
psychopathic.
96
To start, he had this obsession with Pirates of the Caribbean, and even though there's nothing wrong with that, I mean, everyone has their fandoms.
97
He would sit back at his desk and blast different remixes of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, even when we were all trying to draw.
98
He would hop up onto desks and scream, SWING YOUR SWORD!
99
While whirling around a golf club with a paintbrush taped to the end of it.
100
No one knew what he meant.
101
We didn't question anything.
102
He hung a pirate flag on the emergency fire sprinkler.
103
A bit of a safety hazard if you ask me, but again, no one questioned him.
104
And one time on a random day of class...
105
ARGH!
106
DRAW ME!
107
He burst through the door dressed up completely like a pirate, screaming in people's faces and running around like a crackpot.
108
I didn't take his class anymore.
109
But that was not the end of Mr. Captain Jack Sparrow, nope!
110
You know why?
111
Because he was one of the tennis coaches!
112
Yep, and you all know who was on the tennis team!
113
It wasn't that bad because he coached the boys team.
114
His ex-wife coached the girls.
115
She got fired later on for sleeping with the track teacher.
116
But this story isn't about her.
117
So he'd be there while we were on the next court with her own drills.
118
And one practice, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden he got super hyped out of nowhere and started yelling and making a commotion.
119
And we all kind of just stopped and looked over at him like Okay, what's he doing?
120
And then he started yelling, I'm gonna jump over the net!
121
And the rule of tennis for everyone out there is don't jump over the net!
122
We were all just standing there like what the heck is going on?
123
And then he started running to actually do it and you know what happened?
124
He safely jumped over the net?
125
Wrong.
126
His foot caught the top of it and it slingshotted him face first into the concrete.
127
This is why you don't jump over the net.
128
You need to take him to the doctor and she's like, nah, he's fine.
129
Like no seriously, he could have a concussion.
130
That was a hard hit.
131
He's alright.
132
He'll shake it off.
133
Dude, so his ex-wife took him to the doctor and we all just stood around for a while.
134
I don't think he had a concussion, but he did get two black eyes and had to wear sunglasses in class for like a month.
135
And that was cool for me.
136
There you go.
137
Hey dudes!
138
It's been a while since I've talked to you.
139
Sorry I took so long getting this video out.
140
I'm gonna start uploading more frequently now, so yeah.
141
I wanted to let you know real quick before the recording bloopers, there's new t-shirt designs in the shop now, so you might want to check those bad boys out.
142
Yeah.
143
I'm in- I always record in my closet, and Ari's in here with me.
144
You got anything to say, Ari?
145
Quack?
146
Okay, so yeah, see you later, alligator.
147
Quiet person.
148
And I always only had one, and I always, oh, I was so shy that, oh, my neck popped.
149
Which he should have done in the first, hey, which he should have done in the first, Ari.
150
Which he should have done in the, god dang it.
151
I think that actually helped me continue doing art, actually.
152
Wait.
153
Quack, quack.
154
Haha.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
