When I was in pre k I liked going to school so much but suddenly my mind changed when I skipped grade 1 and went to grade 2. I remember when I was in 2nd grade,I didn’t wanted to go to school. To me the hard part of the school was the students and the teachers, they were like a crow to me and I am the cat who is being chased by the crow. So when I walked through the brown door of the classroom I could feel the shiver in my body. I could hear the sound of children talking and laughing. Also I could smell the perfume of the students and teachers and the smell of their feet. I was always nervous and scared of being in a classroom full of student that I cried every morning before the school started.
I thought if I do something wrong in the school everybody would laugh. For example, if a teacher asks me a question and I answer it but it was wrong everybody would laugh so loudly. I thought that because I heard people talking about these topics many times and one day I saw it by my own eyes that a nice tall girl in my Math class is being laughed at for answering a question wrong, not that the student just laughed but

Later my mom would come to my room to convince me about school and I can smell the scent of the shampoo from her hair, it was a soft aroma like rose petals freshly bloomed. She would say, “ What is wrong with you? every morning you create a drama to not to go to school and you are making all of us tired”. “That’s because,I don 't like going to school” I answered.
Than she would say that,“If I go to school I would learn new things about different subjects, I will make new friends and I will have fun with them”. I made an angry face so she could understand that I am not interested in her boring topic.
“ Why not? is there any problem, that you want to share with me?” my mom asked.
“ No there is not any problem mom and I don’t want to talk now, I am tired.” I

    For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed learning which is why for me it has never been a task to go to school. I recall that beginning on my first day of Kindergarten I made my mom drive me to school early because I wanted to be the first one in class. I was that kid - the one that was always on time, always answered questions ( maybe even more than I should have), and who could be considered a “nerd/geek.” But I never took offense to those names because I knew they stood for what I represented and quite frankly I was never shy about the enjoyment I took in learning. However, somewhere along my educational career in middle school, I began to lose the joy I took in learning or rather the methods through which I was made to learn.…

    To be honest, I hate school with a passion, yet I love learning as much as living. As a child, schooling created a feeling of loneliness and sadness that echoed throughout my life, even now. I didn’t meet the standard levels for literacy and was separated from my classmates in elementary school for special reading and writing classes. Also the lack of freedom to say and move the way I wished to, and the rebellion that stemmed out of me in middle school due to these limitations. Finally, the conforming in high school to appease my mother, friends that drove me over the edge, yet even now I feel the same bull-crap in college.…
