The story is about a teacher that happen to be gay and he became very strict to his student to hide the fact from everyone. One day in1991, he decided to join the Irish gay and lesbian organization and march with them during the ST Patrick's day parade. The day after that when the student asked him where was he, he confessed that he is gay, however the student did not isolate him or say anything bad about him, instead, he is free to teach them without hiding his true self .
I listened for 15 min
I chose the story because the topic is very interesting to me. I was quite surprise about the student reaction, they are pretty mature for 10th grade student. It does have a happy ending , I like it and also admire the teacher's courage to able to live real to himself , not many people could have done that..
New vocab: parade pa.rade (noun) : a public procession, esp. one celebrating a special day or event and including marching bands and floats
It's means coming out is more difficult in our country. I admire all people who did it.
