May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May god fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Academic Autobiography

               My Kindergarten teacher, Ms.Courtney, was my favorite teacher along with Mr. Rogers. They had a class of about 40 students and there were two classrooms right next door. During reading time we would get in a line to go next door to Ms.Courtney’s room. Then for math we went to Mr.Rogers room then we would do things together in holidays. They were my three favorite years I even wrote my first poem in that class and I also decided to help animals in those years. Once 2nd grade was over I cried because I felt so attach to my teachers I didn’t want to go luckily for 3rd  grade my teacher would let me go read to my old class.
I spent two years with my 3rd grade teacher and he was always proud of me. He made me banker in the class and the one accountable for ordering books. During lunch I would either play handball or go to the library to help put away books. I became the friend of the meanest T.A in the school, Lucy. Everyone hated her and because she had a mole in her nose and she was fat they would call her witch but my trips to the library got me really close to her. I was also the one everyone went to for guidance. I would solve problems at lunch and help friends play together in peace. I then decided to join student counsel and I loved it. I was happy.
            My 5th grade teacher became my best friend and she still is. She educated me very well and told me everything was possible. She inspired me to join a contest known as Art in the Village and from my class I was the only one to win. My teacher was so proud that she went to the ceremony as well. I was chosen as the translator so on the day of my graduation I would have a V.I.P seat in the front. I was extremely happy and sad at the same time but I kept thinking I am going to Troy Camp for a week.
The University of USC had offered me and four of my friends to go camping for a week without parents. In that camp I learned about friendship and love I made another family there and I never thought it could be so much fun. The counselors all had nicknames and mine were called Hunny and M&M but there were still others like Joker and Speckole. I loved that week I just wished I could have stayed there forever instead of coming back to a nightmare.
My first and last week of 6th grade came because we were going to move to North Carolina permanently. I cried so much when we moved it was so hard to leave all my friends and family to go live at a forest. The second day in North Carolina was my first day of school and it was no fun. All my classes were in the basement level and to make matters worst I was the only Hispanic (Salvadorian) there and I was treated differently. My sister had met another Hispanic girl the first day of school but there class was upstairs nowhere near my classes.
            At this point its better if I stop because the years after that have gotten pretty hard but life is hard and some just have it worst than others I guess.
