Personal Narrative: My Day At Trigg Elementary School

For as long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be actually smarter than what I was. To start with, I was about eight years old. I was a kindergarten student at Trigg Elementary School. Trigg was in Greenville, MS right off Alexander Street. Probably about 12 years ago, I knew then I was what I said I’ve always wanted to be (smarter than I actually was).

If I’m not mistaking my sister was the one I spelled it out to. We was outside, I was kindly told her I could spell encyclopedia. She asked, “How?” I responded with, “E-N-C-Y-C-L-O-P-E-D-I-A”.
