Before kindergarten-I had a speech impediment where I couldn't pronounce my "r"s..I sounded like a dummy, but a cute dummy. I liked to go fishing with dad and was scared of a stuffed cow that went "moo".
Kindergarten-I got stuck on the jungle gym and started to scream until my friend got me down. I had a crush on a little blond boy named Tony. I couldn't whistle yet. My teacher once got mad at me for balancing a book on my head (the meanie). I still sounded like a cute dummy.
1st Grade- I had my hair cut short, and I looked boy-ish. My best friend Andrew moved away to Michigan. I went to a speech therapist for my "r" problem, but it was still a little while before I sounded like a regular dummy.
2nd grade-I sent a secret admirer note to this boy I liked...and told him I had sent it later..oh, unrequited love sucks... I had my first male teacher this year, and I must say, I wasn't impressed.
3rd grade- I got along a lot better with the boys than the girls starting this year. This was the first year I really started having trouble with math. I had a crush on a boy who sucked on his shirt collar. He had a very spitty picture-day. I think he liked me back, but go figure with boys. He had cooties, anyway.
4th grade- By this time, I had let my hair grow out a bit. I was full-frontally embarassed when my teacher asked me what "6 x 4" is and I didn't know...and, when I was caught passing a note to my boy friend (seperate). I had about 10 crushes this year...
5th grade- I had gotten a perm, and my hair was permanently poofy. I got the biggest crush of my life in 5th grade...this guy, I swear...had a mustache in the 5th grade! I had an extremely embarassing moment involving sneezing with him. I was in ACE starting this year...an advanced english class. This year, I really realized how much I hated gym.
6th grade-Not much happened this year..more crushes, more unrequited-ness...except for one, he liked me back, but he was also a raving lunatic. I finished ACE this year, and I started to have to look downward to see people.
7th grade- This year, I got a lot smarter... friend-smart, guy-smart, academic-smart...life-smart. A lot of change took place...I was hurt by a guy, had some major troubles with some friends...got a little wiser. I had some pretty good grades, especially in English. I got a big friendship started up with my current best friend, Aaron.
8th grade- It was a good year..I had to struggle through a few tough-as-nails teachers and some...uh.."social issues", but honestly, it was fun...I met some new people, go to reunite with my 5th grade crush, and by this time, my hair had gotten long enough so that I could cut off 13 inches and donate it to Locks-of-Love..and still have shoulder length hair left. I got my first kiss this year, too.
9th grade, Freshman- I had a lot of phychopathic teachers....hair dyed purple...weird guys trying to get with me (You wanna go out with me? Oh by the way, whats your name?)...loads of homework...a lot of odd friend trouble...this year pretty much sucked. But I will prevail.
