Primary school

Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter. My personality/drive/motivation all was…

the 3rd grade. However my 2nd grade year was the most frustrating time for me. I was seen as the quiet kid with not a lot of friends, so many would see me as a perfect target to mess with during class. Ms. Smith our teacher was the best part of my school days. She was an average height blonde lady with a peal smile and as nice as my grandma. Ms. Smith was a great teacher and she would always help me if I got picked on in class. Then there was Paige who was the nicest friend I had. Her attitude…

in front of all the kids on the blacktop. He ran to the principal's office and cried. At that time, it was okay for a girl to do that and normal for boys to cry. In sixth grade, a girl in my year gave head to an eighth grader in the back of the school bus while playing “Truth or Dare.” She told the boys repeatedly that she did not want to do it but the boys just kept telling her to suck it up and that they weren't going…

change. It was deformed and went inwards instead of being flat. My family and I never thought it was a big deal. My brother, Connor, also had the deformity. We just thought it was odd that we both had it and nobody else in our family had it. As high school began, I started noticing symptoms. I received my first “F” on an assignment ever. I had failed the mandatory mile for my dance class. At the time I didn’t know it was a symptom. In late 2014, Connor went to his doctor for his annual physical…

anything else about why we had the lock down, but school was a place where I always felt safe and that was the first time that…

During my school age years, I attended Lakeview Elementary. I still go and visit the teachers and staff I had every once in awhile because they mean so much to me. Some other things I really enjoyed in school was having reading buddies, field day, and the Fridays in 5th grade when my teacher would play the guitar. At the end of the second grade, I started to get really sick with headaches, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Over the next few years, I saw many doctors and was diagnosed with…

School Bells Growing up can be a challenge to some of us. We start to learn valuable lessons that will help us grow into the person we will be as an adult. There are some lessons we still remember but some can be a little foggy. I can recall some of my experience in elementary school but some I just cannot remember no matter how hard I try. I can honestly say that the elementary experiences I faced help shape me as a person. I was always the goody two shoes of the class, the little angel…

Evaluate the effect on children and young people of having positive relationships during periods of transition. Give an example from your school of how this was facilitated. A ‘transition is deemed to be a change from one state or phase of life to another or a change in conditions. Transitions arise during the course of ones’ life and all children and young people face countless transitions as they move from childhood through puberty and adolescence to adulthood; they also move from…

The documentary film on the way to school was a very good film. I liked how at the beginning it states that “too often we forget how lucky we are to go to school”. That illustration really got me thinking that we who are able to go to school in America and many other developed countries truly are lucky. I myself need to realize the opportunity I have right now and how fortunate, and lucky I really am. I found this documentary to be very inspirational and motivating by the time I was done…

learning experience. Beginning in first grade and continuing all the way through eighth grade, I would consider the schooling I had to fall under the Middle Class teaching style with an occasional affluent aspect here and there. I then began my high school years in a much more Affluent Professional and Executive Elite based schooling though a system called Classical Conversation. Both schooling styles, though different in many major ways, consisted of a basic fundamental that was a key element…
