The year, 2004 I started kindergarten, I was scared to death. Every time I went to school I would start crying. I loved my teacher but I really didn’t like school. After a while I started to warm up to the idea of going to school five days a week, although I would’ve much rather been home watching cartoons, just like every other child in the grades k-4.

In first grade, I had a new teacher. She wasn’t as nice as my kindergarten teacher and I kind of missed her. I had the same teacher for second grade, but then I was used to her and liked her almost as much as my other teacher. I was held back in second grade because I didn’t get enough help to get to third grade, so my mom home schooled me and sent me back to school in February because we weren’t doing enough work to qualify me to go on to third grade.

In third grade I again had a new teacher and she was literally my favorite teacher when I was in elementary school and I had honor roll.  I had the same teacher for fourth grade and I loved her even more. During my fourth grade year I almost had to stay back again because I wasn’t doing my homework.

From fifth to eighth grade I had two new teachers. I had one of them in the morning and one of them in the afternoon. In the morning I’d have English, History, and Reading. In the afternoon I would have Math, Science, and Health. Math was/is my favorite subject, not to mention I’m good at it.

Math and Science have been my two most favorite subjects and I want to go to college to be a computer engineer.

I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I know what I want to be. Since my eighth grade year I’ve been going to a program called Totally Trades which is pretty much a workshop for girls’ grades 8-12. It is a chance to see what jobs there are that a woman wouldn’t usually do. For example; Electrician, Heavy Machinery, and Cable Technician.

I don’t want to be anything that a woman would normally do because I’m my own person and I have my own interests. Like I said, I want to be a computer engineer. A computer Engineer makes around $69,646 per year. Most people move on to something different after about twenty years of doing this job. I love computers and wouldn’t change my major for anything. I plan on attending college at WCCC (Washington County Community College) where I will attend for two years to study computer engineering.

After I graduate from college I plan to get a job and have a family of my own. I don’t know why they say that high school is the best years of your life because high school is full of drama.
