Chinese New Year

what I wanted to be in the future. I had also owned a journal entry where I would scribble down random thoughts and ideas, write all different kinds of stories and even poems. My first year of kindergarten came and like all kindergartner 's they look at that year has being full of fun, naps, and food. That is the year when children start learning all the basics of their reading and writing skills. Then first grade came, then second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifith grade, and finally…

Growing up in African was difficult. I was there till I was 10 years old, moving from a different family member each year to find a place that would be suitable for me to be successful at school. I am not one of those kids that education came to easily, I used to hate going to school. I hated the fact that I was always the last person to get the right answer in class and that is if I did get the answer right at all. I hated the fact what I could never talk to my friends about how I was doing in…

are all headed down the same path to the same ending unless there is an angel hiding in the darkness along the way that will show us to the light at the end of the painful tunnel. I have suffered from a eating disorder, anorexia to be exact, for 4 years and even I have issues bring it up or opening up to people. Its hard even though I have accepted it. Other than my parents and therapists, less than 10 people know out of my family…

Charles. To me, music is a huge part of my life, just like breathing. Playing music is also a big part of me. I started playing music in the fifth grade, and give me the chance to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing. At the end of my fourth grade year, high school students came to my elementary school and talked about band. At first, I didn’t care one ounce, but then they brought out their instruments and played a little bit. I was hooked from there on. I went home that night and told my…

only numbers, finishing a math problem before my classmates and also helping my fellow classmates. When I think about math in my early years, I realized how easy and uncomplicated the subject was. However, things became more challenging for me when I reached the higher elementary grades, high…

impact on the public school. Then in the eight grade we read the Hobbit which was a really good read and also did some poetry with the must we listen too, which in all honesty I enjoyed. After the Hobbit I backed up from reading for the rest of the year cause I didn’t know what to read…

Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, and back into Washington. We visited several famous places on the way, like the Crazy Horse statue, Mount Rushmore, Disneyland, and the Redwood National park. We picked up Lon along the way, in Kansas City, Kansas, where he was living at the time. My family and I moved him into a house in Spokane, Washington, where we also moved for two short years. I went to two new schools while living there-as I was in…

I entered into the education system at the age of 4 at the West Orange Community House in West Orange, New Jersey. It was an intensified non-profit preschool program. Before going to preschool, I was filled with many different emotions such as excitement, but nervousness as well. Staying away from home for a long amount of time during the day was something I had never done before, so it was very scary, but I was ready. I remember my dad would drop me off every day and I would be sent to the…

We also have become people that desire to celebrate more frequently. We celebrate many holidays such as new years, Martin Luther King Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and…
