Having worked my brain into a frenzy going over every single possible grade I was at the point where I just wanted it to be over. With little optimism I walked up to the teacher’s desk with a look of shame only a dog who had just been screamed at could rival. Hoping that the news would be short and sweet my teacher opened…

the beginning of 7th grade in Waipahu Intermediate School. That student was a boy named Jarren Calizo. In Elementary, Jarren was a very determined academic student who always strived for ME (meets exceeds) grades, the elementary version of an A, and ended up achieving perfect grades every time.
