Question
Yubi’s mom was a kindergarten teacher at her school. Yubi was in fourth grade, but she still used her mom’s classroom as a kind of home base. She loved the colorful walls with finger-painted construction paper artwork. She loved the 3-D shapes that hung from the ceiling. Most of all, she just liked being the biggest kid there.
Whenever Yubi visited her mom’s classroom, the kindergarteners got excited and started whispering. “It’s Ms. Lee’s daughter!” they said. Yubi felt like a movie star.
One morning Yubi was about to leave her mom’s classroom to head to the fourth-grade hall. The kindergarteners were staring at her and whispering. Yubi thought they might ask for her autograph.
Just then, the principal, Mrs. Hendricks, stopped in and asked Yubi’s mom to talk in the hallway.
“Watch the kids, Yubi,” Mom whispered. Yubi didn’t know if she liked the idea, but she did it anyway.
She walked around the tables in the classroom and tried to look stern. The kindergarteners just smiled and looked up at her as if she were the queen. Yubi felt very uncomfortable. When would Mom come back?
Many minutes passed and still, Mom was gone. The bell rang—now Yubi would be late for class. She intensified her stern look because deep inside she worried about getting in trouble.
Finally, her mom returned. “I’m sorry, Yubi,” she said. “But Mrs. Hendricks has written a note for your teacher explaining how you were helping her with important school business.”
The kindergarteners gasped. Important school business! Yubi took the note and strutted out the door. She felt ten feet tall.
How does Yubi feel after watching the kindergarteners?
She feels proud of herself.
She feels worn out from the effort.
She feels nostalgic about how fun it used to be in kindergarten.
She feels inspired to be a teacher in the future.

After watching the kindergarteners, Yubi feels proud of herself. This is evident from her reaction to being in a position of responsibility and how the kindergarteners looked up to her, making her feel important and special, especially when she received a note from her mom stating she was helping with "important school business." This contributes to her feeling ten feet tall as she leaves the classroom.
