My Kindergarten Experience
My kindergarten experience was a time that was very exciting for me. When my mom told me I was going to kindergarten, I was very excited. I was excited to learn about numbers, shapes, math, words and anything else I could learn. My mom enrolled me in a private school because it was easier for her, since she worked at Jackson State University. I didn’t care if it was a private or public school I was just excited for school.
My first teacher was named Mrs. Chaney. In my eyes she was one of the smartest people in the world, besides my mom of course. She taught me everything I ever dreamed of learning in kindergarten and more! I was always successful in her class. While everyone else could only count to ten; I learned how to count to twenty.

I also wanted to impress her because every time I did, I would be happily awarded with either a beautiful sticker, or a mouthwatering piece of candy.

As the conference progressed, my teacher told my mom that I didn’t paint my shapes right and that I couldn 't count. My mom knew that wasn 't true. She felt that teacher was picking on me and not being fair. My mom tried to change my teachers point of view but she wasn 't hearing it and set on keeping me held back.
