Personal Narrative: Lincoln Elementary School

Great Essays
Even today I still remember clearly what happened that fateful day. Why I did it, I’m not exactly sure but it wasn’t fun, at least for Patrick it wasn’t. I was back in 3rd grade, young, innocent, and having the time of my life. It was Spring almost Summer and it had been a decent year, nothing special but little did I know today was going to be exciting. This is when I lived in South Haven which had a population of like 10 people not including tourists. I would move to Kalamazoo in about one year because of the Kalamazoo Promise. The school I attended at the time was Lincoln Elementary School, good ol’ memories.
I woke up around 8 o'clock a.m which is actually a bit late for me but I got ready for school in a whopping 15 minutes, I was faster than The Flash! My mom dropped me off to school in her soccer mom white minivan that was as old as Jesus himself. When I arrived at school the principal walked up to my car and opened the door for me.

I have learned my lesson, I shouldn’t hurt people. That ruins both our lives, mostly his, but still mine a little. It’s not nice or morally right. I shouldn’t have done that and from that day on I haven’t, I’m glad I learned from my

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…

Most would think that I should have been confident because in middle school I was in the AIG program. However, I never truly felt satisfied with myself. I always got good grades, but I never felt like I earned good grades. Although I was making straight As and Bs, it was always relatively easy to earn those marks in middle school.…
