There was no reason for me to dislike her either. I just did, and she was well aware of it. One day she came up to me at recess and even asked me why I didn’t like her, and my response was, “I just don’t.” This went on for quite a few years, until one year we played volleyball together. She was the…

next year’s students, she would certainly not want to pick Phyllis’s video about erosion, weathering, and life, in general. In the end, I received full credit, whereas she had a few points of the “Erosion and Weathering Walk” Project. Throughout seventh and eighth grade, we frequently hosted the “Erosion and Weathering Walk Season Two.” Sometimes we would pass by a “monument” and briefly remember our sixth grade project.
