Walking towards the spot where we meet to pick the tagger, Maddie and I stood silently, while we waited for the other players. It was a breezy, winter day. Everyone was dressed in sweatpants or leggings. Although I was wearing jeans. When everyone showed up we chose the tagger by putting our feet in the middle, and a person would go around saying a rhyme, and whoever it landed on was ¨it¨. ¨Okay, Katharineś it. Katharine count to forty before you come tag us.” By then I had already started counting. ¨35,36,37,38,39,40….¨I walked up to the park where most of my grade was, and it was tricky to spot people who were playing because of all the extra objects.

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend, Georgina Larson by the water fountain. She’s never hard to find, because her hair is light blonde, and she’s always wearing really flashy outfits.…

    It’s strange. It’s strange what the human mind seems to choose to remember. Which particular conversations are embedded eternally in the wire work, or the moments that are determined to be emotionally significant enough to be imprinted in the drifting neurons, and even the random cursory details of fleeting day to day life that are just as elusive as the electrical impulses which represent them. When I think back on my elementary experience I can remember the generic themes well enough, the recesses, cafeteria cliques, the thrill of going on a field trip, etc.…

At first, it was like the wind, softly blowing against my ears.…

    The hours blurred together in one, awful memory of pain and suffering. I moved every box inside the house, within three hours. My jerk of a dad had long since gone to sleep, but the fear of what would happen if I didn’t finish drove away the temptation of going to bed too. At last, I collapsed back into bed at five thirty in the morning, hands scraped raw and blistered, and weary as can be. I fell asleep miserable, not knowing what the coming day had to offer.…

    Grateful My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day.…
