‘The students were on their feet, cheering': High school teacher's assignment backfires when one student uses it to break the rules

High school memories arise from time to time, evoking mixed feelings, and causing me to wonder, why does anyone ever say that they are the best years of your life? The teachers never liked me all that much, being the hyper kid I was, who despised homework and could not focus for one minute in class, and the other students kind of bored me. Maybe it was the school itself, who knows? Perhaps others have had better luck.

In any case, I can remember that when students broke the rules, the rest of the class would look at them in total awe. Again, maybe I was in a 'goody-two-shoes' type of place, but that is what I recall it feeling like. In this story, u/Mac_Mex described herself as the kind of 17 year old girl who liked to follow the rules. She didn't cause any trouble, and her English teacher vibed with her.

One day, this teacher gave everyone an assignment. The class had to make a memory box of their high school experience, then present them to the class. They also needed to choose one quote from a book they had read in English class that year. Well, OP decided to use this project to take a step out of her 'goody' position, and do what everyone else was afraid to do… break the rules.
