Faith's+Elementry+Memories

You don't always know how hard something can be untill it really happens. But you can only live through those times. You can learn and then help or be helped. Then you know who you really are.

I first started coming here in kindergarden. That year I made many new friends. They helped me with math, reading spelling and many more things. Many of them to day are still true friends. I learned that year that people at school do care. Also that some teachers get a little bit mad when you miss behave.

In my first grade year my great grandmother died. That year I had to make a big decision. I could either go to a concert with my class or I could go to my grandmother's funneral. I chose to go to the funneral. I chose that because family comes first. I knew I really wanted to go to the concert but my grandmother is a big deal to me. That year I learned that sometimes your going to have to make a tough decision. My teacher told me the day before the concert follow your heart and you'll to places you've never imagined.She also told me that I knew where I should be. I also learned to go with your heart.

My third year here was a hard year. I was only eight years old when my best friend in the entire world died. I was sick the night my parents got a call from his dad. My parents told me the news. They said that they felt it was their job to go up to pay their respects. I really wanted to come. But, because I was sick I couldn't. So my mom's friend came up to watch my brother and I. That was the year I learned that God has his own plan. Sometimes we may disagree with that plan but, we can't always change it either. I also learned that everything happens for a reason. The next week was hard. My teacher said it will be fine. She also said that I was her favorite student which made my year much more fun and easier.

My 3rd grade year here was exciting. That year my little brother Sean was born. Now normally it's not a big deal at school when your going to be a big sister or brother. But this was, only because he was born on the 100th day of school. That year we brought in 100 dipers. I was the who had to count the diapers. That really helped me with my math.(just kinding.) That day I learned that not everything has to stay the same. That year I also got my toncills tooken out. I was out of school for about a week. But while I was gone my entire class wrote me a get well soon letter. That made me feel a lot better. I learned that everyone can be thoughtful and even if they seem mean you can still get their soft side out.

My fourth grade year was fun but hard. That year my class was doing a project. We had to write about a state. I chose Alabama because that's where my mom was born. Well I was more then half way done with my project when it out of nowhere disapeered. I was so mad.But my teacher let me stay after school and catch up. I was there for about an hour or so. That taught me to be careful and you can't always trust computers.

Now for the big one. It is sadly my last year here as a bulldog. But don't get me wrong it was the best 6 years of my life. In fith grade I learned how to subtract, add, mutiply and divide fractions. But I also learned something a little different. That you may start out as friends. But doesn't mean your going to keep them either. This year I lost a good friend but I made up for that friend by making 4 or 5 better ffriends. I'm not saying that the one I lost was bad one. It was just we different. We also had different likes and dislikes. But the most important thing out of that is what I learned from it. I learned your going to have friends that you keep and friends that just go their own way.
