Sixth grade

and man oh man was he hard to beat. Whether it was one on one, two on one or just plain old horse Dad sure beat us all. But that was all part of the fun, trying to beat Dad. And trying to beat Dad I ended up breaking my arm that ended my seventh grade volleyball season quite quickly. It was two on one. I was trying to defend the hoop behind me and to be honest was failing quite badly. No matter, I was focused on the getting the ball. Being the typical uncoordinated thirteen year old with legs…

Something that I noticed in sixth grade about myself, was that I liked to control everything. In the movie, Cameron is trying to control Ferris so that no one will get in trouble. This made me feel more secure, and it made me want to try to get straight A’s. When I think of my 6th grade self, I think of shy and insecure Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day off because I too felt that way. In seventh grade, I resembled Sloane, Ferris Bueller’s easy going girlfriend. I…

family. They stick by my side through the worst and best times of my life and I'm so exceptionally lucky to such good influences in my life. During my 5th and 6th grade years of band several imporant things happened to me. In my 5th grade year Mr. Hilbert taught band. I miss having Mr. Hilbert for band class.. In 5th and 6th grade I played percussion.…

My sixth grade summer was one I will never forget. It was also the point in time where my life took a complete turn and flipped upside down on me. The beginning of my sixth grade summer, which was all the way back in the year 2011, was actually a great time for me for a lot of reasons. I’d still consider the summer of 2011 to be the best I’ve ever had. I was outside all day, every day either at the park or riding bikes around town with my friends. Everything I did that summer I did with my best…

were interesting. This was not a good habit of mine from the beginning, but it was how I enjoyed reading. In particular, I remember Dr. Seuss and Junie B. Jones becoming my favorites. I’ll never forget the day I had to read out loud in class in 1st grade and I couldn’t pronounce a word and was laughed at. This set back my confidence in reading and speaking in front of the class. I was so embarrassed I went home that day and cried. I didn’t understand that everyone at our age was struggling to…

a 5th grade class, however, when she arrived here she only had the equivalent of a 2nd grade education, with a few spotty lessons from teachers in the refugee camp. It is important to note here though, that Belvie was not uneducated out of her own free will. Rather she was forced out of her home and school by war. Therefore, we cannot assume that she is unintelligent, emotionally…

As Julie Andrew says, “Perseverance is failing 19th times and succeeding to 20th time.” Perseverance steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. My family shows a bunch of perseverance. Today I will be talking about my mom’s side of the family. This paper is about about my mom, my grandfather,my great-grandfather, and myself. My great-grandfather, whose name is Uno, or Pop as family members called him. He had 2 sisters and 3 brothers. Uno married Singe,…

to thrive in the 6th grade you must possess three personal qualities. First you have to be able to establish new relationships. Second you can not just rely on your relationships, you must have some amount of independence. You should also be organized in all of your classes. In 5th grade you may be the weird one with no friends, but in 6th grade friends are important and necessary to being able to thrive. Sometimes at school do you feel like no one has your back? In 6th grade that is…

about 4th grade and just escalated until the end of 6th grade. But by the summer going into my 7th grade year I realized that I am a better person than all the people who were low enough to bully and I began to transition to tuning them out and I eventually realized that it all finally came to…

Scarred for life As a kid in elementary I didn’t have many friends, wouldn’t exactly talk to a lot of people, and I was kind of the “lonely” type. I was in 5th grade from what I remember. Even though I was so quiet I expressed my personality to others with my work in art, where I absolutely loved to be! I pretty much hated music because the teacher would always put the other class in front of the one I was in, I’d always kick the girl’s seat in front of me and we pretty much hated each other. To…
