The Dreaded Reading Class It was the first day of third grade. I jumped out of my moms car after kissing her on the cheek and hearing the routine “have a good day”. Jordy, my sister, and I walked in together reminiscing the previous years at Rising Star. Everyone was dressed in their favorite outfit to impress all their friends. Jordy and I fashioned our Limited Too dresses and sparkly back packs. We walked into the air conditioned building from the smoldering heat. This was the hard part; Jordy…

were very limited in scope: they allowed me to memorize a lot of content for a short time, and then allowed the content disappear from my brain not long after the exam or the AP test. My main method for history, vocabulary, and math concepts was flashcards.

From a very early age, I think, could well be the grade of 7th or 8th, I naturally started writing in English.
