Argonaut Narrative
“Banana slug!” I could not stop singing the silly songs after I came back from my Science Camp. I laughed. I ran. I rolled on the soft ground. Trees towered over me. Rivers flew in front of me. Hiking in the woods, signing at camp fire. What great memories I had! But science camp is by no means the only great memories that I have for Argonaut. Yet, no doubt this past year, my 5th grade, has been one of my best years with Mrs. Kambish, who taught me a lot of everything, especially in Social Studies and Math - and these now are becoming to be my favorite subjects.
However, I still remembered my 2nd grade when I was new to Argonaut, leaving my old teachers, friends, and happiness behind at my old school. I was scared, uncomfortable, and upset. I walked into the classroom. I found my name tag. A white name tag with a frilly yellow border. In the middle, in small loopy handwriting said my name. Seeing my Argonaut name tag made me feel a little closer to Argonaut. But I still could not play at recess time because I had no friends. I

There are so many great memories at this special school. All these memories are like photos in an album. As I am flipping through the pages, lots of memories came to me… Trying for treasurer for twice but failed twice. Running for president of the student council. Making posters for lemonade sale. Playing basketball with friends at recess... Argonaut, thank you so much for giving me so many great memories. Thank you, my teachers who taught me tirelessly. Thank you, my friends, who cheer me up and make me laugh. Thank you, Mr. Chapman, who welcomed us every day at school. I’m looking around and hope I can capture all this in my memory that I will never forget… trees, playground, office, classrooms, library, teachers, friends …. I am going to miss you very much, Argonaut. We will move up higher from here, but I know, I cannot be me without you,

    Hello, I am so honored to speak in front of all the parents, staff and my fellow students today. Wow guys we made it! These past 3 years have been full of so many memories that I know we’ll never forget. Think all the way back to 6th grade we were always the littlest ones and I remember feeling like a fish out of water. We were terrified of getting lost or being late for class, but excited to have a locker to decorate and change classes each period. It doesn’t seem like that was over 2 years ago at all. We came back in 7th grade, much more confident than the year before. We looked down to the new 6th graders, asking "Were we really that short just last year?" And by the end of 7th grade I was shocked that I was officially an 8th grader. 8th grade is defiantly my favorite year. I feel like I have everything under control. But next year is full of changes. We'll have free periods, more homework, electives, and an open campus. The new choices also bring new responsibilities that test us in figuring out how we grow from kids to adults. As we say goodbye on the last day we sit together as Balboa students, we reflect on what has happened the past 3 years, but also look forward to what is coming up in the next 4 years. My advice to future 8th graders is to keep up with your school work and try your absolute best and make lots of good, loyal friends that don’t get you in the bad kind of crowd. And most importantly, have fun! This is the last year you will be the oldest in the school for another 4 years, so enjoy it! I’d like to finish this speech off with this quote : A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.-Ayn Rand…

    Four students said that they had grown in this year and had fun and matured through this year. One of the students said, “8th grade because we are becoming more mature.” I think in 8th grade lots of students had grown not only in their learning but with their personality and maturity. Six people who favored 8th grade as their favorite year said they had a lot of fun that year and that friendships grew a lot stronger with other students. One student said, “8th grade was best for me because I found my best friends and I have had lots of fun.” Some students have said that their favorite memories have been that year was going on the school trips, teachers, and camping trips. One student said “having the most wonderful friends and teachers”. Another student said, “My favorite memory from 8th grade was going on the Washington DC trip. This is because it was really fun traveling with my peers and friends. I made lots of memories and enjoyed sharing a hotel room with my closest friends.” Another student said, “My favorite memory of the year will be the last week of school because the reality of me being in high school will start to set in.”…

    I'm six years old, and I'm secretly watching the girls in my class loudly chatting in the corner of the classroom. It's 2008, and I'm quietly sitting on my desk, wondering to myself: "Am I not important enough for a simple goodbye?". I nervously shift on the chair, impatiently waiting for the minutes to tick by. My red sweater is itching against my throat. The teacher came in and we begin class as usual. Ms. Claudia is talking about our final reflections…

    These past few years at Lionville Middle School have been some of the most memorable and exciting parts of my life. I came to Lionville Middle School from Shamona Creek Elementary. Shamona Creek elementary was much smaller than the gargantuan, new middle school. Also, there were so many more students and teachers. I expected the middle school to be filled to the brim with classrooms and I was correct. Some of my first memories here are quietly coming into the school and looking for my classroom. I did not even know where to go or how to get there. All around I saw kids getting to their classes right away, while I was stuck in the hallways. Fortunately, I saw a friend and followed him toward my new classroom. When I got my new locker, I had…

    Beginning an introduction with a plan concerning how the ethnographer will go about presenting his findings, conveys much validity, strength and conviction, especially doing so in a fashion similar to the scientific method so that there is opportunity to repeat the same exact procedure and more room to test or falsify one’s convictions, to say the least. Bronislaw Malinowski does this in such a way that devotes a detailed account of his experience and psychological insight including behavior, observations, surveys, sources, and statements from the natives he studied, to name a few. Malinowski does a good job in helping to understand his experience while speaking of his first assignment in Omarakana (Trobriand Islands) on the south coast of New Guinea by asking you to imagine yourself as an amateur ethnographer who just set foot on your own journey to learning about an exotic culture completely unfamiliar to you. He demonstrates that his introduction, communication and collection of data with a foreign culture are very difficult and definitely not meant for those who are shy or introverted (Page 4 of 65). Without the distraction and opinions of other ‘white men’ like himself, Malinowski grows more comfortable with the tribes-people and his surroundings in order to be able to better learn about them.…

    To my fellow graduates, congratulation, I am honour to be here today graduating with all of you. These past four years has been an unforgettable journey which prepared us for what the future holds. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the bonds we developed during our time. Many of us will surely miss these years, on how we survived here together at ASIST, and the memorable and influential moments of our lives. We began high school as children and today we leave and say good bye as adults. Remember, four years ago we walked into this halls as nervous as we were on the first day of school we were so called the freshmen before and now here we are we’re leaving the school behind. We say good bye to our four sided classroom which we have known too well, to our 30 minutes lunches, to our teachers and for those who become part of it. The most important good bye we will say is to each other and the past we created as a class, and now we welcome the opportunities of the future.…

    After being obsessed throughout the whole school year, I was longing for some places provided for inner peace and tranquility, even though I had nothing to do but sit around all day looking at the bight and azure sky, not worrying I would get filthy when lying on the dungy ground. Finally I decided to get return to my senior high campus, in which it used to be the most familiar and enjoyable place I’ve experienced. It was one Sunday afternoon I chose to go back to my hometown school, after riding my second-hand motorcycle for 15 minutes I reached a gray aluminum building that looked like a huge monster standing in front of me.…

    I wish to express, what to me, is inexpressible – the love, the pride, the gratitude and appreciation that I feel towards my school and the hands which moulded me into what I am today. Thirteen years of education has passed and it's time for the class of 2011 to accept the change and say farewell to those who had impact on our lives. Through out my FOUR years here, I have met many people who have left their impression in my life. Their kind words, encouraging pat on the back and friendship are forever imprinted. Thank you for giving me the confidence to move on. We meet innumerable people in our journey but there are a few who leave their imprints forever.... First & the foremost, the three most important people in my life, my mom, my dad and my brother. you were the ones who had belief in me when other started to doubt. Your presence is a blessing for which I will always be grateful. You may be only three persons, but to me you are my world. I love you more than my limited vocabulary can tell.…
