Do you remember your first grade year? Not many people do, but i’m gonna tell you a story about my whole first grade life. It was the summer before I went into first grade. My mom had told me and my brother that we are moving. We didn’t know where though. The day we were moving we found out we moved to a different town call New Bloomfield. I wasn’t very fond of it. It was a new school. I didn’t have any friends. Mom told us the only reason we moved there was because she got a better job offer and she didn’t to live in mexico anymore. The first day of school started and I was being a shy. And i didn’t talk to anyone. My older brother was in the 4th grade and he was on the other side of the whole school. New Bloomfield school was a school that was kindergarden through 8th grade in one building and the high school was normal 9th grade through 12th grade. The high school building was behind the school i was going to. They had the schools next to each other. My house we lived in was very tiny it was on 2 bedrooms. My brother …show more content…
It was middle of November. We were jumping on the trampoline and we had the idea of him grabbing my arms and spin in circle. He drops me and we hear a crack and I start bawling my eyes out. My aunt, that was in 10th grade comes outside asking what happened. She took me inside and waiting for my mom to come pick us up. I was in shock, so I was sleeping the whole time. My mom gets there and ask what happened and we told her. She thought my arm was just popped out of place and she tried to pop it back in but i wouldn’t let her, so she took me to the hospital. After spending hours in the ER we found out that my arm was fully broken, snapped in half. The way I landed on it, it was the back of my had on the trampoline and all my weight landed on my wrist and arm. I went to school the next day in pain. Everyone asking what happened. To be honest, I made friends after that had
It was the fall of 2010 and little did I know that my world was about to change drastically. We had moved back to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2008 after living in Mexico, and I was starting to enjoy my life in the dairy state. My 6th Grade classes had just started at Bullen Middle School. It was right at this time when my world seemingly got flipped upside down. My parents had a family meeting and informed my siblings and me that we were moving to a small Iowa town called Orange City. I had feelings of nervousness, excitement, and sadness all mixed together.
Ask yourself, how was your 8th grade year… Was it good, bad, fun, or stressful? Well most of my 8th grade year was bad but the ending actually turned out good. The start of my year was exciting, but that was just the beginning. As time went on and the work started to come in, that's when things turned south for me. I started stressing about everything I had to do, I was getting to overwhelmed. I would catch myself slipping constantly and it was worrying me because I didn't want to get held back a year. I slowly started to lose all interest in all of my work.
When I was at school I broke my wrist. My friends and I were playing on the slide and I fell off into the dirt and landed on my wrist. When I heard “crack”, I knew something was wrong and needed to go tell the teacher. Holding my wrist I ran to Mrs.Kathy and told her that something was wrong with my wrist. We ran to the nurse because she thought it was severely damaged based on the way it was dangling. An ice pack was put on my wrist to control the swelling. My dad was given a phone phone call and was told that I had hurt my self on the playground. Rushing from work my dad was to coming get me and on the way he picked up my brother from high school, they later arrived at the elementary school. We hastily went to the emergency room because my wrist was getting sizeably larger. By the time we achieved our destination, my mom was waiting patiently for us.
Soon, after I had settled into my house in Sterling Heights, elementary school started. When school started I didn’t know how to speak English so I was put in ESL, English Second language, where I would go for a half a day. This process was not easy, because I was so young. Everywhere I went there was someone new around me. My first year I was the quiet girl that didn’t talk to anyone. During fourth grade, I stopped going to the English Second Language school and just attended my regular public school. During the transition from third grade to fourth grade, I started to become more comfortable with the people and started to participate
Growing up in a small mid-western town was exactly like a lot of people imagine it to be. The years kept passing by, but it seemed like nothing ever changed. We went to school, played sports, chased girls, worked on our friend’s father’s farms, and talked about how we couldn’t wait until we graduated so that we could finally move out.
When I was in middle school I thought life was just full of joy and I really did not have
Throughout my life, I had always received recognition for being very agile and quick. My first day of Middle School consisted of the track and field coach attempting to persuade me to join the school’s athletics program. I had previously never been apart of an athletics team, and was willing to take advantage of the opportunity. Throughout my three years of middle school, I was the one consistent member of the school’s track and field team and had an overall successful personal record. Coaches from opposing school would praise me leaving me feeling very confident about myself.
With me being at the tender age of five, I was very confused of what was going on. I thought that Jonathan, Jennifer, and I would live in a house by our selves and that both my parents would visit us from their separate houses every now and then.
I can still remember the day that would change my childhood life forever. It was the last day of fifth grade at my small elementary school. I had been there for years and I had become very close to the people there. Even though everyone else was excited for it to be summer, I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be attending the same school as everybody I knew. My parents wanted me to go to a charter school instead of the local middle school, since my brother had some problems at that school. At first, I was against their decision, but after a couple weeks into summer, I thought that it might not be terrible.
Changing schools and homes a few times is an experience that I believe had an impact that helped shape my identity. My first school and hometown was in Porterville, California. I was young and lived there in at least two different homes that I can remember. Both homes were nice and the neighbors were friendly. I went to a small school that had two classes for each grade, kindergarten to eighth.
Before my younger brother, my mother and I moved to San Diego with my oldest brother and my grandmother, our life in Stockton was going just fine. I just started freshman year with all my friends from my junior high class at Weston Ranch High School. My father would help me with sports and my older brother would suggest the different classes to take at Weston Ranch High School. Things ran smo...
They called my mom, and told her what had happened and while they were doing that, I was lying and my arm felt better if I put pressure on it. When my mom arrived, we went home, dropped all my school things off and went to a nearby hospital. When we got a doctor after waiting, we went into a room, and I sat down. When he asked how my arm felt and I said it felt really bad and he took me to get my arm scanned and sure enough, I had fractured my arm. After they put a giant cast on my arm and I went home.
I fell backwards, stuck my arm out, and hit the ground hard. I started crying and looked at my hand. It was bent sideways. I knew something was wrong. Everyone from the class came over to look at my arm.
It was the second semester of fourth grade year. My parents had recently bought a new house in a nice quite neighborhood. I was ecstatic I always wanted to move to a new house. I was tired of my old home since I had already explored every corner, nook, and cranny. The moment I realized I would have to leave my old friends behind was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I didn’t want to switch schools and make new friends. Yet at the same time was an interesting new experience.
My education began in fifth grade, my parents moved from one location to another. It wasn’t easy for me, because school was the first place I ever got to interact with other kids. Before school started, I was pretty much kept indoors and not allowed to have contact with other people, except for my family members.
