through sixth grade, I really didn’t pay attention during math, specifically sixth grade. It started around the time we were learning multiplication. I never could remember the simple multiplication facts. I never asked questions, I didn’t do much but doodle on my page. Either I did badly on the test or just barely got by. So when we went on to division I was doing terrible. I don’t remember too much from fifth grade, but math was still frustrating and difficult for me. On to sixth grade; I quit

(Saeed), in my case, I wasn’t ready for the worst scenario when taking the risk to come to Canada. Being only mentally prepared for a straightforward life I was quickly overwhelmed as soon as I joined my first school. I was placed in grade 6, even though I was only in grade 5 in Pakistan.

Today, we are here with one purpose. We are here because sixth graders are graduating onto a new stage of their life. Everyone once started as a baby, newly born. Like newly planted saplings in an orchard, they are tended and cared by their caretakers which could be our parents and teachers.

I didn’t start at this school like many other

Sixth Grade So Far… It really isn’t what I thought it was going to be. I thought Sixth grade was going to be really scary and hard, but it’s not super hard even though there’s more homework than in elementary. It’s easy to get to classes on time even with just four minute Passing periods. I don’t even need to fast walk to try to get to classes. I could slowly tiptoe the hallways and maybe make it to class on time. I did get bumped a few time in the shoulder because it’s so crowded in the hallways

Anyways, I was going to wait until next year, but my mom pushed me and she told me that I should give it a try. Then I ran for Spirit Commissioner and everything

you express your creative side. Because of the bedtime stories my dad would read my siblings and me, the love for books and the scenes the authors could create began to feed my imagination. Nonetheless, my creative side actually emerged in Seventh Grade English/Creative Writing class. This one assignment impacted me the most since it pushed me through the door of how I express my creative side: writing stories. Essay writing and analytical researching were consistently such a bore for me since I could

the same school. Between those eight teachers, I observed sixth, seventh, and eighth grades language arts, sixth grade social studies, seventh and eighth grade science, and eighth grade Latin/study skills/high school prep class.

Books such as Daniel’s Story and museums such as the United States Holocaust Museum and Memorial ensure that tragic mistake of the Holocaust will never happen again.

Also after they help me I hope I can go help somebody else. That is what I think about that topic so I will go to the next. I am a person that likes to help others

smart and I already knew everything I was to supposed to know. Somehow I passed the sixth grade with that mindset, so when I got to seventh grade and had “honors” classes, I hardly knew anything.
