Narrative Essay On Kindergarten

Improved Essays
Kindergarten was really stressful and hard. It was a lot of work compared to preschool. Here I had to write sentences about things and had to do it fast (well faster than what seemed like a reasonable amount of time for me). Stations was the worst, we went around the room in groups to different stations some of them were ok, but there was always at least one station that needed me to write. All the other kids had no problem with it except for me. I always got so flustered by writing that I would try to avoid writing until the very last minute where I would hastily throw a few sentences together and turn it in. Probably crying in the process. Reading also sucked. I was dread worth as well, but the worst is when they would make me read …show more content…
Now you may think there is nothing wrong with a kindergarten soccer team, well you would be wrong. The flaw with all the soccer teams in the league I was in was that every single kid chanced the ball around the field like a swarm of bees. Well every kid except for me. I didn’t see the point of chancing the ball. I was very slow and would never be able to reach the ball so I wisely decided to invest my time in something else. But I kind of have to stay on the field so my choices were limited. I ended up picking flowers and trying to hide in the crowd. The latter does not work so well when you are wearing a team jersey. My parents got frustrated with me and always told me to get back out on the field.
During the summer after Kindergarten I went to summer school. At the time I was too young to know the negative connotation that is associated with summer school. I also did not understand what going there meant. But I had fun there; I got to be smart for once. There were kids there that did not learn anything in the past year. See the thing is I ended up learning most of the times I needed to know at the end of Kindergarten, but that’s not what they grade you on. They care about when more than

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake.

    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.…

    My first day of middle school was hell, I have always been good at school. My grades have never been bad and neither have my actions and or attendance. Probably from having a mom that is also a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school.…

    I was afraid to sharpen a pencil in second grade. My most vivid elementary school memories spring from instances when I was being reprimanded by an adult for doing something wrong. I did everything in my power to avoid those dreadful moments, but they still presented themselves on occasion. Even now I feel a pit in my stomach when I recall the way I felt during those times, regardless of the fact that almost all of them would easily roll off my back if they occurred today.…

    It was there. Its presence marked my final destination. My fear suddenly started to creep over me just thinking about it like a ghost that every child was afraid of, when they turned off the lights. I began to ask my friends if it was true, and they said “Yes” and that it was due tomorrow! All of a sudden a chill ran down through me and my hands started to sweat of nervousness as I started to write down the homework.…

    My education started from the moment I was born. My environment was very conducive to learning and so I began learning interesting skills and appropriate behavior early on. My parents also did an excellent job of involving me in activities that would help me learn. Although I don’t necessarily remember all of the activity specific skills, like how to play the guitar or how to do a back-handspring, I learned many valuable things during my development from a multitude of teachers.…

    When entering junior high, we were constantly reminded by teachers, parents, and school administrators how different it was from elementary school. It was supposed to be the start of a transition from childhood to young adulthood, and though I discounted many of these sentiments at the time, looking back it certainly was. In an instant, it seemed, everyone started swearing and the hallways began to smell of a putrid mixture of not enough or too much cologne. For the first time we had to change before gym, no one really sure whether it was more socially acceptable to change in a bathroom stall or feign confidence by doing it out in the open. Talk swirled of who got their periods, who was wearing what bra size, and which boys needed to stop cultivating…
