Now that I am coming to the end of high school and to the beginning of my college education, it scares me to death. Going to school has been one of my biggest priorities and the most routine part of my life for the past thirteen years. I have many more years to get through, but the years that I spent in elementary school and junior high were the most memorable. I have learned so much since then, it has made me a different person today. I have so many memories from my earlier years in school. I especially remember how much easier it was back then and how much harder it is becoming now as I get older.
I started off by going to Peppermint Patty preschool in I do not remember much of preschool because I was very young, but I do remember never wanting to go. I always got sick when I went there and the teachers were very old. From what I can remember, I did not enjoy preschool very much. When I entered Kindergarten, I was ecstatic. I went to here is a Catholic school and has grades from Kindergarten through eighth grade. My Kindergarten teacher was Ms. Esser. She was a very nice lady. I loved school when I was little and Kindergarten was just awesome because it seemed like all we did is play. I always remember that I wanted it to be harder. I wanted to have homework and take hard tests just so I could tell all of my friends that I had homework. The one thing I did not like about Kindergarten was when we had nap time. I remember we would have these little blue mats we would lay on. We got to pick out a book and have a carton of milk also. Taking a nap was not the grown up thing to do so I never liked it. Which of course has all changed because I love to come home and sleep after school. I also remember the igloo that our class made out of milk cartons. I thought that was just the coolest thing. Overall, I think that Kindergarten was a great way to start my education.
After Kindergarten, I was all ready for first grade. I was so excited because I knew I was going to get some kind of homework. This has also changed too because what teenager wants to come home and do homework. That is what I miss most about those years, it was all so easy. My teacher in first grade was Mrs. Lutgen. I did not like her very much. She was a very strict teacher, and it was not like Kindergarten a...

...got to see my best friends in school. I met a lot more people at Petty and I felt like I had more privileges. The school work or course became harder, but I still loved school. I had my first real crush on a boy which was exciting at that age. Fifth grade was a lot of fun but junior high was coming up and that was even more exciting.
Junior high was a whole new world when I got there. There were so many kids and so many classrooms. I did not know what to think. I remember the coolest thing about junior high was having passing periods. I loved talking to all my friends and going to different classes. It was a lot more freedom. The most memories I have from junior high are teen canteen. It was the coolest thing known to a teenager at the time. It was a dance every other Friday and we would get ready for hours. Again, the work became harder but I still liked coming to school more than ever. My school days are filled with great experiences and many memories. It is fun to look back and see how much I have grown as a person and how far I have come. When I look at the past I smile because I had a lot of fun and I know that I have many more memories to come!
High school is where I had gained an awareness about how what I 'm learning in school is going to benefit me in the real world. I learned an retain a variety of information because the things that I did learn I felt like you would need to know to survive in the real world. A perfect example of this is driver 's ed where I learned to drive something that I do everyday frequently. Another reason why I learned and retain so much I because when I got into high school is around the same time I got my first job. This definitely opened the door in showing me how what I 'm learning in school applies to everyday work activities such as knowing and counting money this is where math comes in. Being able to talk and communicate writing and verbally this is where English comes in. All things that I needed to do in everyday
Some people may say that middle school was the worst years of their life,but in my case middle school was the best years of my life. It changed me, It made me a better person then who I was before. I am wiser, smarter,stronger, and overall just better. So if any elementary kids were
My middle school years were incredible. I went to three different schools during my middle school years. I attended McIntyre Middle School, Millbrook Middle School, and Brewbaker Middle School. All three of these schools were amazing and I did great things at each school. I would love to relive my middle school years. I believe middle school could make or break a child. Many children had problems in middle school but me on the other hand went through middle school with a breeze. I never had a problem with any class or subject in middle school. Many of the students adored me at each school I attended. It was never a problem for me to make new friends. If I could go back to middle school I would.
Middle school is so much better than grade school, because it seems like I’m learning more and having fun. I get to do stuff that I like and am able to be with my friends more.
Going back to school after summer was something I looked forward to. Seeing the friends I missed over the summer was something very cool. This past summer was by far my favorite. There was a party literally every night, I went to Florida to check out my future college, we went to Minnetonka on a friend's boat and much more. My favorite was going to the lake with everyone. We stayed out there all day and just hung out. Coming back to school was a huge transition. I had to change my sleep schedule from sleeping in until 11:30 AM to waking up at 6:00 AM. That was my toughest challenge excluding the need to begin a study habit during the weekdays. Studying is honestly my least favorite thing to do when there are so many other things I could be doing other than that. Overall the return to school was exciting for me considering it is Senior year, and we only have two semesters of school left! Time flies in High School and I never thought I would be here today!
I had a good year in first grade. I became the best artist in the class. I started getting better at English. My first word was “bathroom.” I made two friends Michelle Sherman and Karen Calle. After that I started feeling better and actually liking this school. Everything felt better and worked out great!
I really liked 7th grade because I was really focused on school work and my grades were acceptable. I was honored to make the soccer team for the school and won the Championship for soccer. I did soccer because my mother inspired me to do it. My brother and his friends were discouraging me that I couldn’t make the soccer team. I was satisfied that we won the Championship round and was really happy with that year. I was stressed about the social studies project we did that year because it took me a few days to decide who I was going to do a research
On my third grade, I took school more seriously, I started doing good. I motivated myself, I joined more activities, sports and events. This is the year when I made peace with my “terror” teacher too, and he even ended up my volleyball coach and became one of my closest and favorite teachers. I felt so relieved when I finally overcome my fear of my teacher. It taught me to be strong and not be scared over little things. When I was in grade 5, I had to stop school in the Philippines and continue my studies in Canada. It was tough for us because we’re starting life over again in a different country.
My 6th grade year was probably the best I mean all of them were great but if I had to pick my favorite year it would be 6th grade. Just because I had great friends, good teachers and surprisingly good grades. I think you definitely get more freedom in middle school that was a really good thing about it. You had more than one teacher, didn’t have just one classroom, you could go to the bathroom without your entire class, and you didn’t have to walk in a line everywhere
When eighth grade rolled around, I only had one year left. Making it through one year did not seem so bad. I remember a few weeks after the winter concert when I shuffled into orchestra class and was shocked.
First Grade is a dream year for all children..well for me it was it felt like Yes I can finally go to school like a big kid and i was so excited to do so and to read and write seemed like a dream come true but when
The other day I was reminiscing about the simpler elementary school days, before I started college. It made me think of all the things that I miss about my elementary school days. There are many things I miss including, recess, school events, and field trips.
In eighth grade, the amazing experiences are far more numerous than the regretful moments. First in eighth grade I believe the best part was the teachers. They have all taught me so much, and I will certainly use what they have equipped me with in high school. They all deserve so much for teaching the "future of the world." I am sur...
High school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. Overall, I feel like I have been equipped for not only college, but also life as a whole. High school has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. It has revealed and exposed my true colors, both good and bad, and as a result, has built many aspects of my character. My experiences at Alameda High school and Alameda Community Learning Center have shaped me into the person that I am today.
The summer after fifth grade was a big summer for me. I felt all powerful since I would be entering the Middle School in three months. I had no idea that not everyone felt that I knew everything in the world.
