Zoey Research Paper

Decent Essays
I always wanted to be friends with Zoey. I remember in 3rd grade I saw her at recess. I went over to talk to her because my friend was over there. I thought she was really cool. We talked for a little bit, and she told me how she had to run extra laps in gym because she was talking. I laughed. I didn't really think that we would be friends, but I guess things change.
When I was in sixth grade and she was in eighth we talked a lot. I remember at a school dance we had a slapping contest. We saw which person could slap the other person the most. At the end of the contest we had red marks on our skin. Since she was older than me by a couple years I didn't think of her like a role model. I thought of her like a sister to look up to. I am adopted so being the oldest is hard because you have nobody to look up to. Well I did when I met Zoey. When she graduated I was happy that she got to move on to high school, but I was also said because I wouldn't see her as much as I did. Seventh grade

Zoey told me she wanted to help. She ended up helping and I was so happy. She taught me how to be a catcher. I was really nervous, but she helped me. She made me work hard, she made me tough, and she made me better than I was. I got the uniform number eleven because that was her number. I was proud to be wearing it. The bus rides were so fun with Zoey. We would take goofy pictures and we laughed so much. When softball season was over I was sad again. I texted her non-stop. I didn't really care if I was annoying. I knew once softball was over I wouldn't see Zoey for awhile. I miss her a lot. I'm glad that I met Zoey because I wouldn't really have a big sister or a really great role model which ever one works I guess. I'm glad that I met you Zoey and I hope we stay friends. I'm glad that I have somebody like you in my life. I know I can tell you anything and you will try to help. I don't know what I would do without you. I love

    For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…
