Philip Malloy,"why did I do it?"

What did I do that for?Because of me,Miss Narwin got unjustly accused of being a non-patriot and has been indirectly asked to resign.Was it worth it?To cause a teacher to lose her job and to be treated as an enemy of americans just because she was the victim of a prank played on her out of hatred to spite her?Now,everyone knows that I am guilty of not even knowing the words to the star-spangled banner.All the things i've said about protecting my patriotic ideals were just lies,a prank gone horribly wrong.And all these because I hated Miss Narwin.She had left a bad impression with the press and radio stations like Jake Barlow's has proclaimed her a non-patriotic teacher just because she was following the rules of the school.Why did I do that?Had I thought that my getting Miss Narwin out of my life,I would be free?She was a wonderful teacher and commanded the respect of many students in the entire school cohort and yet,they were forced to say good-bye to her just because of me.And even then,she was just doing her job.Was it because,I hated her so much for flunking my english,dashing my chances to join the school team?I'm filled with regret now for causing her to lose her job and now america has labeled her as a non-patriot because of my words,the words of a boy who didn't even know the star-spangled banner.What have I done...I wish i could turn back time and undo this...
