Second Grade Experience During my second year in elementary school‚ due to the fact that I was doing so horribly in my grades‚ my parents decided to send me back to El Salvador to bring up my grades.

It is the day of your 8th grade graduation. You look around and see your friends and family. You begin to think back and ask yourself “Where has it all gone?” It all seems like a blur.

Graduating 8th Grade I was sitting in my white chair with a big knot in my stomach. A bright light beam of excitement shot through my quivering body. Today was the day I had been looking forward to almost all year. The day I was finally graduating from the middle school; the place that I was forced to survive for two tedious years of my life.

In Patrick elementary school (at Heidelberg Germany)‚ we had this tradition were the fifth grade class visit the first grade class‚ to show them what the older kids look like.

This was because I had soccer and gym at the same time and soccer helped me with the running. My 10th grade baseline was 1900 and my post core was 2100.
