Personal Narrative: Going To School

Improved Essays
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

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

    Every time she gave a warning about sending someone to the principal’s office or giving more homework, we all laughed. Because my classmates had not respect for her. I’m afraid my classroom atmosphere will be considered a joke and my students will walk all over me just like they did Miss Dues. In order to become an effective teacher I will have to become a strict educator in many aspects of my job. This is hard for me to accomplish, because I am always happy and lack a tough personality.…

    When the teacher asked a question, everyone was raising their hands, very excited to answer, as if they were in a competition and I was just there, sitting with my hands kept to myself. I look around the room to see everyone have the answer except me. I'm freaking out on the inside, my hands are sweaty, my heart beating so fast that it felt like I was having a mini attack. I feared that the teacher might call on me. That was the moment that I wished I was invisible.…

    For example, in middle school I got in trouble for constantly talking in class, so I got a disruption. A disruption is when you get written up for talking, or anything that “disrupts” the class. During my three years in middle school, I got in trouble and had to have a meeting with my mom and all of my teachers. This meeting occurred, because I had gotten so many disruptions from talking. It’s even funnier that my mom is public school teacher, so she was really embarrassed that it was her daughter that was in trouble.…

    To all the doctors, teachers, peers, and family members who didn’t believe I would amount to greatness, thank you. When I was young, I didn’t understand why school seemed more challenging for me than it did for everyone else. I couldn’t discern why I was unable to distinguish my right from my left no matter how many times my teacher sighed and told me it was simple or why I could complete math problems perfectly then copy my answer wrong between the work area and the answer line. In second grade, I was labeled as dyslexic and stuck in the reading recovery class along with all the other ‘troubled students’. Every day I missed free time filled with exciting games such as seven-up and tag, forcibly sat in a room where the lights were just a bit too bright and the chairs a bit too straight, and read aloud.…
