My First Impressions In Six-Grade Kids

Improved Essays
In six grade kids are very mean, very blunt and honest about everything and say exactly whats on their mind. Me and my best friend Khalil actually meet and became friends in the six grade and after 8 years we still are. When we first meet we didn 't get along nor considered one another as friends, we budded heads very often, only after we were the only two kids in class left without partner for a social studies fair project we put aside our differences and worked together and did well on our project and became very good friend.

I personally interpreted this essay as being a personal essay, the author wrote it as it spoken directly to the reader from it being his personal experience.

He then argues that what that has done for children and families is that it takes away from a whole other set of skills to be learned: noncognitive skills such as character strength.…

    Who is Nirvana? Why are they important? In a society that demands conformity why did a group of high school dropouts draw the attention of the entire nation with this new form of musical expression that seemed to thrive on negative emotions and controversial ideas?
