But, even though I had this great opportunity in my sixth-grade class, I would later have an experience in my middle school years that discouraged me from ever pursuing those dreams My mother is a teacher, so I would ride to school with her early in the mornings and spend time helping her and other teachers prepare for the day. Because of this, those teachers came to know me

The children’s event that I decided to attend was located in Washington Heights Library. The Children’s event was called Move and Groove Storytime. It was recommended for children between the ages of 4 -7. I decided to bring along my niece that is 4 years old. At this event there were a lot of toddlers with either their parents or babysitters. The book that the librarian read to the children was a book called Giraffes Can’t Dance written by Giles Andreae. Before the librarian read the book she talked

That night, I ask help from all my friends to help me make a change: a different classroom. We spend several nights contemplating about fun educational games to be played in class, or combining several games with certain mathematic and science

Now a junior in high school, I still have not broken my habit of biting my nails. Throughout my life, I have been telling myself, “does it really matter to have grown nails?” However, as I noticed that I cannot even open the charging flaps of phone cases with my aesthetically unpleasing nails, I have embarked upon my journey of growing my nails. I started researching about the ways of resisting my habit of biting my nails. From applying manicure to drawing on a nail with a pen, there were many ways

Being brutally defeated can make you feel like you’re at rock bottom, while winning a championship game can make you feel as if you’re on the top of the world. This is a story about a basketball team who finally stepped up to their biggest rival of all, showing the other team and themselves that anything is possible. The East Grand Forks (EGF) Greenwave Girls basketball team had been playing basketball together since

Teaching an eight-year-old Russian girl the English language including grammar and idioms is harder than one might think. In seventh grade, I was asked to tutor Katya who was adopted from Yekaterinburg, Russia. When picked to do this, I was very nervous because of the thick language barrier, but that was not going to stop me. With my determination, strive for perfection and dedication, I mostly succeeded at my task. Unfortunately, one school year wasn’t enough time to teach Katya the English language

The origin: Elementary School, I was seven years old and completely friendless. This second grader had just gotten done being the laughing stock with her two bright casts taken off her legs and the wheelchair being removed. Hard times had not quite started to fade yet, sadly I learned slower than the other kids at this time in life. Now instead of being the physically handicapped like before I couldn’t help, but feel mentally impaired to top it off. This in turn trapped me in “Speech Therapy”. A

August, 2011. Going into sixth grade, I was the most popular girl in school. Although I may have had ebony hair and bubblegum lips, there was no hiding the ugliness of who I was: the meanest girl in school. I hadn’t always been that girl; for two years I was the opposite, a victim of excruciating cruelty. In third grade, I was placed into the Enrichment program, a group of five
