Personal Narrative

School (ugh) I have been through a lot of it and I still have more to go (ugh). I started school when I turned 2 almost 3 years old. My first year at school was at my church, the program was called “moms and tots” the year after we tried to do “moms and tots” and a preschool called “teddy bears” at the Central High school but doing both did not really work so we just stuck with “teddy bears” for a school year. Like a regular school year, starts in the fall ends in the spring. The year after I attended VPK for another school year at my elementary school called Chocachatti. I continued through Chocachatti till the very end.

Kindergarten the rude awakening of no more naps during class. I went to kindergarten at Chocachatti with and amazing teacher

named Mrs. Mills, she was great and always had something for us to do, which was not so amazing. I remember going to the library getting one of my favorite books, “Ricky Ricotta’s mighty robot adventures.” It was an awesome book with action, adventure and of course robots. I remember only being able to hangout in the kindergarten playground which had a huge Oaktree, a play tower with a jumpy bridge, monkey bars and a play music station. I used to hang out with this one kid, his name was Frank and he was funny and quick witted for a kindergartener. In kindergarten I started Baseball and it was so much fun, I met so many friends.
1rst grade so much fun.

I remember hanging out with rebelish kid named Leif, he was so cool and I remember sitting on the slope of the big kid playground talking about life or what we knew of it. My teacher Mrs. Rance was the coolest, she gave out Pokémon cards every week if we were good the whole week which was hard because she did not mess around about Pokémon cards. Me and my friends used to run around and do the most ultimate game ever. Tether ball. It was crazy we had around 8 tether ball courts. Tether ball was a ball tied to a pole, if you could get the ball all the way past your opponent by hitting it past them and tying the ball up you win. If you win you stay in if you lose you get back in line and try again. I was not the best but I was up there. I started cub scouts in first grade, meetings were on Friday and those were my

favorite.
2nd grade what a great year. I know for a fact that it was one of the hardest years in elementary school. You are expected to be a third grader but you are still a first grader. My teacher was Mrs. Piccinich she was a great teacher and knew how to react to every situation. For most of my second grade year I always had the terrible cough that never went away. I tried everything, saltines, cough drops and weekly checkups, nothing worked. My teacher had a way grading system based on your behavior. If you did something wrong your paper clip was moved down one section, if you did good then vice versa.
3rd grade was an amazing year, lots of amazing things happened. I got an iPod and started taekwondo which was so much fun, I did two classes one during school and one after school. But lots of bad things also happened, I stopped baseball and I got a pencil in my lip. The pencil in my lip is an interesting story, my teacher had a cone for each group to tell them that they were the most behaved. My table had it and we planned to keep it, I was away from the table and rushed to it. My shoulder partner held my pencil up so I could grab it and be seated quickly. But instead of grabbing it, it went through my lip.

So you know the begging of my school years but you are not done yet, we still have another couple years.

Ah 4th grade what a fun year. My teacher was Mr. Tyree and he was the coolest. When we read a book we could take a test on it and earn A.R. points, if you got the required amount, Mr. Tyree would let you do a special reward, you pretty much get to do terrible things to him. One time we got to pore a green sludge on him and it ended up dying his skin for a day. One time we got to tape him to one of the huge poles outside of his class, or got to throw eggs at him. In Fourth grade I was not a big reader and one of my friends dared me to read this massive book and I did faster than the big reader in the class.

5th grade I had two teachers, Mrs. Youngblood and Mrs. Makain, they were trying to keep this giant class in the smallest room which if it doesn’t sound hard, than you are wrong. For the Halloween dance one of my friends decided it would be a great idea to request a song with curse words, you can imagine how that went down. The 5th graders were separated before school, so we all had to be a close group, which led to every one either being really nice or kids hating each other really quickly. Dang I miss elementary school, I wish I could go back. The summer in-between 5th and 6th was fun, my sisters decided I was going to be peppy and they bought me a whole lot of pink and bright colored cloths thinking it would look good on my, wow were they

wrong.
6th grade was cool because I went from one system to another, I thought there was going to be a lot more choice and life changing decisions but it became mundane very quickly. But we did have some awesome F.A.P trips, we went swing with manatees! Before school actually starts you go and do a program with all of your future class mates, it’s mostly awkward, or at least it was for me. During lunch I sat with most of the guys and we traded food like it was baseball cards. We had a lot of people leave during the school year, now we only have 15 of the original 22 which is weird to thing about
7th grade was very hard but not as hard as 8th grade but we will get to that later. In 7th we built rockets, robots and a castle model. In tech we built robots for one of our projects, by the end of the project the robot was to be programed so it could go through a course without hitting a wall. Also in tech we built model rocket so we could launch and calculate how high the rockets went. For social studies we had to create a model castle of our choice. I got a 98 on it even though I did it on the last days before it was due.
