In my first encounter of learning I had a rather sticky situation. In kindergarten I was in Mrs. Aney's class. One day as we came back from P.E. I was walking into the room. Once I spotted Hershey Kisses I said "Wow Lucies"! Somehow another person thought I said the "F" word, but that was not the case at all. When Mrs. Aney heard of this she was speechless, but she didn'tbelieve the kid. After school I told her what really happened, so she could evaluate it in another perspective. Finally, we caught the culprit and his card was changed to red. The one thing that touched me though was when Mrs. Aney told me to never think about what other people say about you, because they know nothing.

First Grade was also a year of great revelation. When someone's birthday would come around we would have a card that would have a poem inscribed on the front. It would read: Todays the day we get to say, were happy you were born hooray! When my birthday came around it was especially special for me. At the end of the reading of the poem Mrs.Lowe told me I was a special kid. This made me feel of utmost importance and that I was superior. Now I knew what it felt to be appreciated.

As the year rolled in to the second grade it was more funny than heartfelt. In P.E. someone yelled out "Come on Mrs.Kolln, use your colon! At that time no one knew what a colon was or it's use. We all wondered to ourselves why Mrs.Kolln was laughing so hard. As I remember back while I'm typing this I'm laughing so hard I think I'll pee my pants.

A real educational breakthrough occured while I was in Third Grade. The first day of school Mrs.Kocina started talking about MATH! As the word rolled off her tongue I sat there petrified. If there was no Jill Kocina to come to the rescue I would still be scared of math. I went over to her house over the summer and she tutored me. Every time I came I got better and better. 2 years later I'm still getting an A+. Bless her heart!
