On my first day, I came to one class electricity stream, they were just smiling in silence. Suddenly, they threw a lizard at me to frighten me. My face turned pale, but I had to be calm even though was very afraid. I told them that I was not afraid with that lizard. I started my lesson by introducing myself, but they did not listen to me. They only talked to each other. I was angry but stayed silent. At that time, I did not know what I should do. Then, I decided to ignore their action. I just taught materials beyond the chemistry curriculum. I had to finish my teaching material. I did not care whether they understand or not. I just wanted to get out of that class. Until I finished my lesson, they still talked to each other. It was my worst time as a new teacher.
