Connections

When I was in 5th grade I was so excited because I was going to graduate. I was happy and sad at the same time. The reason why I was sad at the same time was because I was going to leave all my friends. I I miss them. I miss all the fun times we had. It was so sad to see how we all were graduating and leaving. One of the saddest thing was when we graduated and most of us were crying and we all hugged each other that was so nice I love to remember old things.



When I was younger I use to have lot of fun in 2nd grade. I still do though. I think that elementary school was kind of more fun for me because I used to laugh so much and have lots of fun with my old friends that I kind of miss a lot. But now it’s we are all growing up i probably don’t recognize all of them maybe some. I had the best of the days when I was in elementary school. I wish I had like a machine that I could go back in the days and pass through all those fun times I had.




I REMEMBER my first day in kindergarten. I was excited but at the same time I wasn’t because I missed my mother and father. When I was in kindergarten I didn’t talk for nothing that’s how shy I was. I spend the whole day in school with out talking. Once I started getting use to it I started talking to my friends and to the teacher. I also liked to go to school it was fun for me because I got to be with my friends and talk to them. Every morning I was excited because I wanted to go to school. I had so much fun.




Three of my memories that I think seem to connect with each other are the ones I wrote about 5th grade, Kindergarten and 2nd grade. The reason why I think these memories connect is because the three of them have to do with when I was younger and was in different grades. They also have to do with the memories I have about the old days. Now I’m older and I am in a higher grade. Now I have learn a lot of things that are important now and days.
