First day surprise

I arrived to my first class early and sat in the front row. I smiled at the students as they strolled in: Freshman. They all seemed to have made friends already and were a chatty group. Here and there I heard them wondering if anyone had heard anything about the instructor.

I had graduated from college a year prior and looked rather like a high school student still. When it was time for class to begin, I stood up and walked to the front of the classroom.

"Buenos días, clase. Soy Señorita Marshall."

The surprise on their faces was priceless.
