Hickman. A little town where not much happens. The school originally started a long time ago and was very tiny. My father went to school here in the late 1960’s, where there was only about twelve people per classroom. The only building standing from when he was here is the old auditorium which used to be the calfeteria. A lot has changed from the late 1960’s, families from all over the county commute to the little town, so their kids can have a great education, like Mr. Bynum says, “Hickman is the best school around.”
When I was the age of 4, I came to the Hickman preschool for approximately 3 days, my mother wanted to see how the school worked but ended up not liking it and took me back to the old preschool I originally went to. After preschool was over, I went to kindergarten at Hickman. I didn’t have to go on the waiting list because my older sister, (Madison), was in second grade here, and I already lived in Hickman. Since Hickman is a small school compared to others, I met everyone

Vandenbosch, always be ready for Mr. Bynum's random screams, a lot of people want to come to Hickman so appreciate what you have, and lastly, Sonora is God’s land. Most of these examples only kids from Hickman know but some of them are good life lessons, from Hickman kids get impacted on by the teachers, they teach us good manners and how to respect others. The teachers at Hickman get to know the kids on a personal level, and impact the kids lives for the good. I have learned at Hickman that it is okay to be different or basic, if you are nice to everyone you will have friends. All the kids at Hickman are friends with each other, and we all grew up with each other. I learned that Hickman will always be a second home to me, and when we come back for the luncheon, we all will be welcomed back with open
Have you ever wondered what a good school looks like? The physical and human geography of Stafford Middle School is manageable. For instance one of the major physical features is that the hallways are quite small, also the culture is very diverse, and finally the interaction among the students shows that they are quite engaged.
A few months after Shayla was born my family decided to move to Canal Winchester. This was a big deal because moving means a new school. The next school year Desiree, James, and I were going to Tussing Elementary. We went there for a year and while I was there I was able to make dean’s list. The following year we were moved to Pickerington Elementary due to Tussing being overcrowded. After 4th grade I went to Diley Middle School, and while I was there I was able to have a spectacular time at Outdoor Edu. Before the school year was up my family moved to Reynoldsburg. When the school year was about to start I learned that I was going to be going to Lakeview Junior high instead of Ridgeview. The transition was much harder for me this time than
When I first attended Houston Lamar High School, I was a little nervous because there were so many kids, but at the same time I felt confident in what I was doing. On my first day there, Mrs. Kamla introduced me to the class and
Growing up in Chicago, I attended a neighborhood school from preschool through first grade. Although it was an exceptional school for elementary kids, the education for middle school and high school students was not as adequate. Seeking a better place to raise their children, my parents were faced with a tough choice. When I was in 2nd grade, our family made the decision to move to the suburbs. On July 3rd, we all packed into our Honda minivan and drove 45 minutes to a new home in the town of Winnetka. Within my first year at Crow Island, my new school, I learned so many new things. I started playing the violin and speaking Spanish, neither of which were offered at my old school. I met my best friends that I'm still close with now. Over the
What I have learned you say? I have learned so much at this school, more than I could’ve asked. Hickman Middle School is a special place, mainly because of the students and the teachers. Hickman is a small school, and the students are in the right mindset, a mindset to get to college and beyond. We see the examples of our teachers, and they encourage us to make ourselves better. I can’t think of a more fitter middle school that sends students into high school as rock stars. As for me, I’ve learned we need get ourselves to our potential by raising the bar, which is where teacher’s expertise is.
Hickman isn't a bad place I've had some fun memories here, but also some bad ones. Some good ones are getting to play volleyball and basketball all three years here and making the teams all three times. I've had some spontaneous times too, like dress up days, I didn't really do it that much in elementary but once i got to middle school
I moved to Crawford my 7th grade year. I attended Crawford Middle School that year. That year went by exceptionally well, but the next year the school closed for 7th and 8th graders, so I had to join Hotchkiss Middle School. I found the Hotchkiss kids very welcoming, and friendly. I instantly became friends with almost all of them. There was just something so welcoming about that school from the friendly teachers who all cared very deeply about each individual student. The happy and friendly attitude wasn’t just at the school, it seemed everyone everywhere was just so happy to be in a beautiful place. Hotchkiss has always been a home for me from that day on because of the welcoming attitudes.
My preschool years I started off at a school called Lake Rim in Hope Mills, North Carolina. My teacher's name was Mrs.Keller and we were all little kids so we thought she was scary because her name was so close to killer. By the second day we realized that she was a very compassionate and nice teacher after giving us candy for every math problem we got right. I didn't go to Lake Rim for long because I think we were two months into the school year and as I was getting out of the reading tub one day a kid named Jermaine. He had just got done at the math section before running across the classroom screaming and as I turned around to get out of the tub he superman kicked me in the face and I flew back into the tub. Mrs.Keller quickly came over to see if I was alright and took me to the guidance office because I had a bloody nose and a boot mark on my face.
We were middle class, a very average family. The environment surrounding my family during that time was actually very civilized. Hardly no crime, amiable people and we got close with the neighbors and became very involved with their lives and they became involved in ours. I started attending Yeager Elementary. I really feel for that school because that is the place where I met most of the people I still talk to till this very day, it has a notable place in my heart, I can never forget my third through fifth grade years. I also started attending Tom Browne Middle School. Tom Browne was viewed as an average school, but, to some, it was a “low class”
Longview, Texas is a unique hometown for many reasons. First of all because, more than likely, any given person who attends Texas A&M and did not play football in high school has never heard of it. When meeting new people in college, I’m always asked where I’m from and 90% of the time the response I hear is “Oh I’ve never heard of that”, 9.5% of the time I hear “Is that kinda by Houston?” (a question that, after hearing for several semesters, I’ll just respond yes), and finally .5% of people I meet know where Longview actually is. Living in a small town—not in the suburbs to any city—offered a unique perspective on life going into college. There are 4 high schools in town. The largest, Longview High, was an athletic and academic powerhouse: always going to state
The apples is for when I was 5, and I started kindergarten at John Clarke Elementary School in the small town of Rockville, MN. I did not attend pre-school, so this was the first experience that I had will the school system. I was very excited and nervous to attend school, I loved being the only kid at home/daycare all day while all of my older siblings were in school. By this time, I had also grown a bit more shy, I was nervous about not having or being able to make friends, being as we lived in the country, and I wouldn’t really know anyone, where all the other kids all lived in the same neighborhoods, and attended preschool together already. Lucky for me kindergarten was only a half day long, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to make
The memorable place of Lynnfield High School was the place that helped me discover where I wanted to be in life. After the hard work I demonstrated paid off, I was ready to leave my comfort zone for a new place. Growing up, I lived in a unique town called Lynnfield, located about a half-hour north of Boston. My hometown has countless special qualities that I will remember for a lifetime. The school system has a close knit community because the town only has two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. My graduating class consisted of less than two hundred people, which is extremely small compare to surrounding towns. Overall my junior and senior years had the most memorable impact on me and my life.
Harrison High. The day had started out gray and cloudy, lending a somewhat gloomy ambiance to the forest. It had made me feel depressed as I made my slow walk to school, like the weather was somehow an omen of some sort of something bad to come. And, if it wasn’t for the half-dozen or so strays that helped to lift my spirits as they accompanied me to school, I'd probably would have considered ditching for a second day in a row, damned the consequences.
The school I went to visit was Public School 69. It was my little brothers elementary school. The reason I chose the school, was because I remember seeing him happy every time he came home from kindergarten. Every day he would come home and have a different project he did in class to show off. The outside of the school looked like a regular public school, but inside Miss Suzy’s* (not her real name) classroom was bright, warm, and inviting. My visitation was in the morning, right when the children began school at 8:00am. When I walked inside, the class room was baby blue with all kinds of art projects on the walls. Miss Suzy welcomed me very kindly, and discussed with me, her srtudents and what they have been learning. You can not help but
From pre-school till sixth grade I was in private school that was co-ed I switched to four different private schools since I was younger. For pre-school I went to St.Micheal which was an experience to have been able to encounter. Being able to learn about religion, other languages, and different cultures. Going in to kindergarten till third grade I went to St. George it was a good
