A Long Journey
Ever since I graduated from high school, I look back on my childhood, and I can conclude that my childhood is filled with a lot of exciting events. Field trips, receiving many awards, making friends and participating in many sports are the highlights of my childhood. The first day of school can be frightening, I was scared because I didn’t know what to think about school.. This is how I felt about my first day of 1st grade, but I was introduced to my homeroom teacher and that soon made me feel a lot better. Every day of first grade I would practice writing my numbers and letters. I also loved having recess and hanging out with my best friend Tayla. We enjoyed the gigantic playground that Silverthorne elementary had. After school we would take dance classes together.
In third and fourth grade was filled with a lot of fun activities. I chose to cross country ski for the Winter Rec Program. We had lessons for the first part of the day we lessons for the first part of the day. For the last part of the day I got to ski wherever I wanted to. On the last day of the Winter Rec Program, my group went to Keystone Ranch and skied on an old road. The snowflakes were falling down like crazy. However I ended the day with hot chocolate and cookies, it was a great way to end the cold and miserable day.
As a member of the Black Panthers, I was a great member of the team. I shot my first basketball during the games. My mom and dad was the couch of the team. During each game we constantly strived to improve our teamwork to win the game. My team members gave me a nick name which was Michael Jordon. The Plains Conservation was a field trip that I attended in fourth grade. I got to see how the pioneers and the Cherokee Indians lived on the prairies of Colorado. Learning how the school worked back then, I was able to visualize how the school system is different today, then in the pioneer time. A
