The sun is just a faint orange line along the horizon as you press against the school’s rusted gate; it groans open. It’s 7:05 AM, and the hallway hums with muffled laughter and the scuff of sneakers on polished floor. You take a deep breath and push into classroom 9-A. The air carries the chalk-dust scent of old paper and dry erase markers. Curious glances from Mariana, Carolina, and two dozen other students land on you. From across the room, Marcos gives an enthusiastic wave, a mischievous grin already in place. In the back, Elena quickly looks down at her desk, her ears tinged pink. Welcome to your first day. What do you do?
