Our 1,000 Paper Cranes It all started one day in Ms.Anderson’s sixth grade classroom at J.A Rogers Elementry.It was a normal day early in the year about September,in class with work about ancient Greece after the lesson was over we had to answer questions and do a worksheet. I sat next to my best friend Nicole.She was taller and has dark,median size hair in a bun and black eyes with a scar on the side of her nose.She always made me laugh and I made her laugh but we were very different I always liked to read in my spare time but Nicole prefered to play soccer so we hardly spent any time with each other at recess.So after I was done with my work and had time before the next thing we were going to do

“Can I borrow it after you?” she asked. “Sure.”I said. “But remember to give it back.” I hate losing books.It took a while for Nicole to read it probably about a couple for weeks but after she was done she told me about how much she liked it. “It was a sad ending.” she said.Then I got an idea. “Do you want me to show you how to make a paper crane?” I asked her. “Okay,but it looks kinda hard.” We used old worksheets since we did not have any origami paper.It took a long time for me to do one perfectly when I started to make paper cranes when I was about ten years old I did not really like at first and I only wanted to do it because paper cranes are a symbol of good luck,and some sometimes I still feel very unlucky.So teaching Nicole was a challenge and a long time since there are many ways to mess up and if you frustrated enough it is easy to end up with a paper rock instead of a paper crane.It took a long time but Nicole eventually learned how to make a perfect paper crane.As she made more paper cranes she got much better.Then while we were making paper cranes in our desks at indoor recess,because it was raining, we got an idea: “I think we can make to one thousand if we tried.”I said finishing my eighth paper crane. “Why …show more content…
“We only need ten more to make one thousand.”I announced to everyone of my friends who has helped.As soon as I said that all of my friends that helped grabbed some paper and made a paper crane.When they were done we ended up with more than one thousand. “We made it!”Nicole was saying. “We made one thousand paper cranes!” I could not believe it it took us almost all year. I was so happy. “We should string them so they look like they are flying.”I said.But we never got to string them with so many tests and school stuff.It was near the last day of school and we agreed to finish next year.I knew I was going to a different school next year so on the last day of school I was going to give Nicole a paper crane with my address inside so she could write letters to me.I had to help a teacher almost all day so when we were all leaving to go home I ran to where the Linc kids were,the ones that stay after school, and found Nicole and I forced the paper crane in her hand and said “Here,unfold it.”Then I ran to the bus line to get on the bus and left. After what about two years I haven’t heard a thing from her.The box full of paper cranes are still sitting in Ms.Anderson’s classroom.I did not want to string them alone so I’ll wait.I may have not finished this adventure yet,but it is
