- Alex wakes up and gets ready for school. He pins a bird that he was given from his mom on the bottom of his shirt, where it's barely noticeable.
- Alex is often disrespectful to his parents...
- Whatever. I'm going to school.
- Honey, I made you and your sisters breakfast!
- ...and to his teachers.
- Alex, pay attention and stop talking!
- Why don't you just teach better?
- He starts to doze off in class.
- Alex dreams, and talks to himself.
- What's the point of being so rude all the time?
- Eh, I just don't care.
- Suddenly, Alex wakes up to an alarm clock, and finds himself having kids and being a teacher. He puts the pin on the corner of his shirt like always.
- Alex goes downstairs and awkwardly makes breakfast when he hears kids screaming.
- Oh god, who are these people, why are they so loud so early?
- ...and experiences firsthand the disrespect he gives off.
- Here's your, uh, breakfast.
- WE DON'T WANT THAT!!!!
- Alex's mom comes and puts the kids in line, and Alex finds out his mom still lives with him.
- Hey, respect your FATHER!
- You must be out of it, Alex, you're usually more controlling.
- Alex takes his kids to school, and finds the classroom he's supposed to be in, and braces for the worst.
- I haven't taught a day in my life, what do I even do??
- He ends up teaching the same class he woke up in, and struggles to take role.
- Dylan? Dylan??
- Namaste.
- Hey Dylan, come here often?
- An announcement for the pledge of allegiance happens, and the class falls quiet.
- Alex gains control of the class to take role, and realizes something he never did before.
- Hey guys, I'm going to need you all to be quiet and listen while I take role. Please Respect that.
- Alex has a sudden thought, and begins to rethink his whole life.
- I've never thought about respect from my point of view now... I put everyone through bad stuff and I'm going to change that.
- After a long day, he heads home with the kids, and talks to his mom.
- Remember when you were always disrespectful? I'm glad you grew up and changed for the better.
- Today was more tiring than usual, but I was respected by my students!
- He begins feeling drowsy, and suddenly falls asleep.
- What?
- Just remember what happened today...
- I learned a lot, and I'm glad i could improve on myself.
- Alex wakes up in the classroom as a kid, confused but changed.
- Alex wakes up in the classroom he fell asleep in, confused but changed.
- Alex, are you even paying attention?

- Did he just.... show respect?

- I've changed.
