    But when she got to mine and another student's award, she said that it was going to “make her cry”. As she called my name though, I felt really accomplished and proud with myself. I worked hard to improve my musical skills and technique that year so getting that award felt really good. After we finished with the awards, the class went into the band room and took some pictures there while we were waiting for the bell to ring. I was a much more awkward person back then so that was weird.…

    Starting first grade I thought we were the top dogs because we got moved down to the bigger playground with the bigger kids. Since they knew we liked kick ball so much they built a kick ball diamond for us. There was just so much to do in the shortest amount of time. Everyday was a new day, I never did the same thing, whether it was playing on the upper part on the monkey bars seeing who could hang the longest or playing football with the guys. I can remember my first year at kickball I was taller than most of the guys because they haven’t hit their growth spurt yet, so everyone wanted me on their team because I was the only girl once again that was better than most of the guys.…

I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…
