little fine black numbers that read 375. My eyes began to water.I could not believe I just failed my first standard of learning test. After telling my mom the horrible news, we both felt that it was best for me to get a tutor. My entire sixth grade year I struggled with all of my classes,resulting to really low passing SOL scores and even failing one of them. Deep down I knew I needed a tutor but my pride made it difficult for me to accept my reality.In the past I…

the test the first time, I began to hate writing, and I started to doubt myself” (Nichols 82). Another thing to add was that in Ohio they do not explain in details why a student may have failed a test, she did not know what to do. In my eighth-grade year, I had to take a writing test as well to move on to the next grade. Amazingly I passed and it did not take me more than one time to…
I consider myself to be a proud bibliophile. For as long I remember I have been a book lover. I always get excited at the thought of getting new books, reading them and showing how much I adore them.

Although Rufus is the white son of a slaveholder in the 1800’s, Dana’s initial plan for autonomy was to change and improve Rufus’s perception.

I purchased many different products that I thought would work, but none of them seemed to make it any better. Finally, I came across a mask that was well reviewed on Amazon; therefore I decided to give it a try. It is called…
Personal Narrative Fifth Grade I had just had moved to Idaho at the beginning of this schools year so I didn't have any friends or know anyone. When I would talk people would look at me funny because I had a thick southern accent. I made a lot of friends just because we only had one class the entire day so it was easy. Most of my friends were in the grade above me because I was in the sixth grade orchestra and I was in a fifth/sixth grade combo class. Because I was in the sixth grade orchestra…
