Personal Narrative: My First Grade
It’s a bler, trying to look back on when I was a preschooler, so first grade was a mess. First grade is a life changer. Going to Tri-Point in Piper City not even for a full year. Tri-Point is a small old school just like ROWVA. I remember changing schools because my parents got a divorce. We moved to Peoria and lived there with my mom's parents. I got transferred to a Catholic school. Every Wednesday the whole place went to church right across the street. It was the worst thing ever sitting in the old creepy church listening the Father talk about only “God” knows what. My teacher's name was Mrs. Heartstick, no I did not make the name up. She grossed me out. He hands very dry and cracked, they looked like an old man's hands who had worked his whole …show more content…

Heartstick’s hands were always so cold and i could never figure out why. She smelt too, her breath always smelt like stale cigarettes. I know the smell because of my dad. She kind of looked like a rat if you ask me. The shape of her face matches a rat perfectly. I’m not trying to be rude i just remember certain things usually the things I don’t like. I remember being sent home from that place multiple times. One time i was sent home for having fingernail polish on. Another time i got sent home for not having a belt on. I got in trouble because I didn’t have my shirt tucked in before getting to school. I had to take my pony tails out one day because it wasn’t proper and didn’t follow the dress code. Finally i got out of that place! We moved to Pekin. I had to retake first grade at Jefferson school where I learned how to count to one hundred in

    Yough Intermediate Middle School, a comical and controlled environment. Waking up everyday to come to school is a nuisance. It worth every second of the day because of the amazing teachers, students, and staff. The curricular activities are as creative as a Picasso painting. The adventures I have gone on in Yough has taken me through life even more. The adventures have been vigorous, inferior, and patchy.…

    If I could choose my favorite grade it would be Pre School. All we did in preschool was play with toys and learned how to cut and draw not any of this complicated math or chemistry homework. I recollect it so clearly like it was just yesterday I had gone to preschool. I remember that we used to go to the library where they had a ladder that took you to an attic sort of place where us kids could just read or talk. During recess my preschool friends and I brought our hot wheel cars to recess and played with them like we were the ones driving them. There used to be no judging whether a kid was smart or popular we all treated each other with respect. At the last day of preschool we had this graduation, and I remember that while my mom was recording…

    Being trapped in the state of fear and lack of self-confidence caused me to struggle socially and mentally, but soon I realized how much I have grown as a person. Therefore, I am no longer afraid of starting new and taking a step forward, all thanks to my experience at my middle school MSA (Magnolia Science Academy).…

My parents had been divorced for two years when the unthinkable happened, my dad announced he was getting remarried. I was introduced to the woman named Melissa and her daughter Audrey, but I was unaware that the joining of the two families would impact my life forever. Though the road was not easy, Melissa helped me discover who I was meant to be, and the things she taught me affect me everyday.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    In first grade, one teacher would always pull me out of class, so I could finish my special exercises. Sometimes I looked at a sheet of arrows and told her what direction the arrows pointed in while I simultaneously tapped my fingers to a beat. However, if I made a mistake, I had to start over. Sometimes I had to lie down, and my teacher would ask me math questions while she swung a ball from side to side in front of my face. I never understood these strange exercises. For a time, I even hated them because they singled me out from other kids. Of course I got over the isolation, but for the longest time, I had no idea why the teacher singled me out.…

    For my senior project, I made books with my first grader girls, focusing on fostering both increased self esteem and positive feelings about being a girl. Each page tackled a different prompt: things they liked about themselves, a woman they admire, things the girls liked about each other, a job they thought would be hard to a girl to have, the best part of being a girl, what it means to be a girl, and that they’re strong. I tried to give the girls as much freedom as I could in answering each prompt. Some of their answers made me laugh, while others troubled me. Some were expected, and others were surprising. When the project concluded, I felt like I had gotten a much better understanding both of the girls individually, and of the way 6 and 7 year old girls feel about themselves and what connotations being a girl has for them.…

    I received my first B in Mrs. Grant’s third grade class. I hated cursive, and thought it was pointless to spend time learning a new system of writing. I put forth very little effort in the subject and was pleasantly surprised by the grade I had been given, unfortunately my parents weren’t as impressed. They knew I was capable of more, and grounded me from video games until I raised the grade. As a kid video games were my favorite thing in the world, and I spent hours every day playing them with my brothers. Two months were spent watching as my brothers and friends played without me. It was a torturous experience for me and I worked hard on improving my handwriting that quarter. As a result, not only did I receive the A that I had pushed…

    Elementary school was an, emotional 6 years for me. Being only in my years of 5-10, it would probably be hard to believe that it was during those years when I did my most growing up-- maturity wise. It wasn’t due to one incident in my life that changed me into a different person. It was more a matter of events that made me gradually see myself in a new way. When I was younger, I never knew how to think for myself; I was that kid that followed blindly and did whatever everyone else did. I remember always looking to the person next to me to make sure I was acting the “right way”, so I could fit in. Due to the way I acted, I was an easy target and was taken advantage of a lot. It might seem crazy that elementary school kids can notice when someone…

    It was 4th grade at Collins Elementary as I walked down the hall that morning. Outside, the sky was clear and there were puffs of white clouds floating all around, the sun was shining as bright as it could, and I thought today would be a good day. I made my way to my usual spot on the floor, underneath the huge window near the third grade bathrooms, a few floor tiles away from the big trash can. I was sliding down the wall to sit when they surrounded me.…
