Life has a way of surprising us in unexpected ways. Some surprises fill us with joy and excitement, while others can be shocking, painful, and even life-altering. Today’s stories feature real-life events that seem straight out of a movie, leaving those involved in disbelief.
The Story: This happened two years ago during my first semester of college. There was a girl in my class who never spoke to the teacher. No matter how many times he asked her a question, she remained silent. In fact, I can’t recall ever hearing her voice.
One day, the teacher lost his temper. Frustrated, he assumed she was being disrespectful and snapped, “What’s wrong? Didn’t anyone teach you how to speak?” Calmly, she stood up, walked to the whiteboard, took his marker, and wrote, “I am mute, you fool.”
