“Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you” -Boonaa Mohammed
When you’re in fourth grade, you’re free to be whatever you want. You can dream to be a doctor, fireman, or maybe even a mermaid. In fourth grade you are allowed to act however you want and dress like you want to. Dreaming is what makes fourth graders happy. Unfourtly some children aren’t raised that way. Their lives are so chaotic and messy they don’t have time to dream. So, they begin to envy the ones to can. They begin to hate those dreamers because they don’t understand.
It was the first day of my fourth grade year. My mother had loved to dress me up in pretty ruffles and cute little dresses, which I loved. Skipping down the hall I made it to class, cheery as can

I was one of the dreamers with people describing me with my head always in the clouds, unfortunately I had met one of those girls who disliked the dreamers. I would have probably stayed clear of her if it wasn’t for my best friend, Riley. She became very close friends with this girl so I hung out with her. I decided to give her a chance.
Everything was great until her birthday in october. Back in fourth grade if you brought birthday cards to class you had to give them to everyone. Strolling into class when I saw the girl handing out birthday cards. She walked past my desk with a smug look on her face when I had approached her and asked if she meant to give me one too. Without a second glance she uttered a simple sentence, “No, you didn’t quite make the cut” Those words broke me. I had tried my hardest to impress her and my class but it hadn’t worth is. The next weeks were unbearable. She cut me off from my friends and remade rude words to me whenever she could.
During this tough time my mother helped me. She would comfort me when I cried and give me advice on how to handle the situation calmly. One day she told me a quote from Boonaa
Mohammed that said, “Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you”. This

    “Dang, this asian can really play.” “Even if this guy had slanted eyes he can still see though.” “Man, I shouldn’t have underestimated this kid.” It all started in Middle School, the 8th grade.

    Like most people, the third grade was a highly intense time. This was the period in which you had to decipher between wanting to learn how to multiply or learn how to divide first. Or for me the most difficult decision may have been choosing between kickball and tetherball during recess. But I had an issue of seeing adults doing things and if it was simple I would do them too. For me as a child I had what many considered an old sold.…

    As an only child growing up in Clarence, Iowa, I at most times found myself playing alone in my backyard or sitting in front of my television, watching whatever we had on VCR. DVD players had already been out for years at that time, but with my father working as a mechanic in some random guy's garage, we could not afford to buy a DVD player. I had to resort to VHS tapes, but at least my mother would take me to the used game store(which also sold VHS tapes and DVDs)every once in a while. I became addicted to owning VHS tapes, even as a six year old boy and honestly, I still am to this day. My favorites were the movies from Tim Burton and the Disney films were my absolute favorites; I just could not get enough of Toy Story and The Lion King.…

    Although every grade level deems difficult, I believe that 9th grade is the hardest grade because of the grueling effects of low self-esteem, pressure and worry that every student must bear among the already heavy load of their school frets during freshman year. To begin with, low self-esteem can truly deprive a student’s drive to excel in the future. I think this because occasionally, when a student is held back a grade during their first year, they can suffer from a sort of mental inhibition, and feel as if they are an outcast stranded in a see of anonymous strangers. Therefore, that student could feel as if they are unwelcome and decide that it’s better off if they just drop out instead of dealing with the uncertainty of a different crowd.…

    This school year I enjoyed this English class because it was not very difficult, but it was not easy at all. This year we did so many assignments and some of them were analyzing poems, emulating poems, writing a theme of a poem, presenting a speech in class and then working as a group to create a chapter. I believe that I have grown throughout this school year. I have grown as a listener because back then I was not used to listening to poems without having a paper right in front of me.…
