My Visit To Turtletown

June 2015 I went to my favorite place in the whole world, Cedar Point. Cedar Point smells like happiness and cotton candy. Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio and is one of the top amusement parks in the United States. I have been 5 times, but my favorite trip was with my family and best friend Allie. We went to stay for a week like we always do. This time Allie and I would get to walk around the amusement park all by ourselves, that made us feel like such adults. I rode lots of roller coasters and went down many water slides. My favorite ride is Millenniun-Force. It is such a forceful ride I swear every time I ride it I lose my vision. We only rode that ride one time because after it finished Allie about thought she died. This was

I moved to south east corner of Georgia in little ole Waycross. You probably don't know where that is but imagine dirt roads, mud, bad weather, and alligators and that's where i moved to. I was enrolled in Williams Heights Elementary School and placed in Mrs. Rodgers class but my trouble making days weren't over. I always was messing with my teacher by erasing what she had written on the board or just being defiant. I was so bad that one day i decided to start a food fight in lunch by launching milk cartons like mortars. This sparked the immediate retaliation of the opposing table and since i threw the first milk carton i was the one who got in trouble. When I went to the Principal's office the principal said

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

Davis elementary school. At this time, I started acting up in class. In middle school I attended Robert smalls before I got kicked out for fighting. I know surprising right? Church girl acting up in school, that’s what everybody said to me. “You were raised better than this.” Well I still seemed to act the way I did, most of the time it was for attention because I rarely got any at home. After I got kicked out I went to whale branch middle and finished eighth grade there. At least I had good grades, I made the honor roll every once and a while but my grades were always acceptable. I was always athletic as a kid, I played basketball and soon to play tennis. I participated in chorus because I could sing at the time but its slowly fading away because I don’t practice anymore.

We moved in with a new roommate in the Friendly neighborhood but luckily got to finish the year at Goshin. I started and finished my fifth grade year at Adams elementary. I spent my six grade year at roosevelt middle school that was the year that my uncle moved down from portland and started living with me my mom and our roommate. I finished sixth grade and moved on to seventh grade at roosevelt then halfway through my seventh grade year my mom decided to buy a house across town with my grandma that had just moved down for alaska. My uncle moved in with my grandma and we stayed with them for a little while, while we fixed up the house. Once we had moved in I transferred schools from roosevelt to kelly middle school where I finished my seventh and eighth grade years. I started my freshman year in high school even though I had a trouble reading until I was in fourth grade and was on an IEP till seventh I made it to high school and plan to go

I didn't go to school I was homeschooled for a little while until I got used to being away from my family then they enrolled me in school. I was in 3rd grade and it was my first year at this school I had Mr. Knew. I made it throught the year and basically my whole summer was going back and forth to court and it was the most stressful summer because I also had to make some decisions, and I didnt know if they were the right ones.

were not as easy for me. I struggled in school a lot. I felt like a disappointment. But i did not give up, I did everything i could to fix these problems and to please my parents. And it worked. I fixed my grades and got better in school. The school I was attending was Harry Stone Montessori Academy. I went to that school all the way to eighth grade. In second grade, I did have a scary accident. I had slipped then cut my head open. I lost a lot of blood and gave my family a big scare. Now I am scarred on my head for the rest of my life. Sadly. Also another accident that occurred in my elementary years, was when i was running on an elliptical machine and my foot a slipped in and i cut 3 of my toes open. I was really sad because I had to stop playing soccer for some time until my foot

In 2014 of October I moved to Georgia from Florida. I was leaving a place I had been living in my entire life. It was a tough situation as I knew moving to a different state and school could be difficult. I was very nervous as it was a new environment with different people and new types of school work. I was worried about not making friends or getting bad grades. That morning of school my heart raced. When I arrived at school I met new people and my teachers, I also figured out which teachers were bad and what teachers would be good. I left school that day very happy knowing I would have a great year. Later that week I started to become more familiar with the grading systems, behavior system and connections. at my old school they were called

I live on Turtle Point Cove in North Ridge, it's just a little bit into Saltillo. I’ve grown up in that house. I live next to my close friends. I live near my cousins, they live just a couple houses down from us. Almost every weekend we all have a cookout and we either go to my friends house or ours, since we are next door neighbors if never matters whose house it’s at.

VROOM! The bus goes when the engine starts and drives to school. Ugh! The thought of going to school again and beginning the 2nd grade in Maurice Hawk School. EH. I wasn’t so nervous because I had the same class as my friends. I know my teacher was so nice to me in 2nd grade, because basically all elementary school teachers are really nice to kids like me. Her name was Mrs. Ramirez. I had to run to different classes during that class like speech or just different subjects because I hate the thought of being late. When is was time for speech, my teacher picked my classmate and I up because we forgot to come to class. I know I just said that I hate the thought of being late, but hold your horses! It was only the first day! Give me a break! But anyways, while we were walking slowly and calmly in the hall, we started

My formal educational experiences start’s with Field School, Field School is elementary school in Elmhurst Illinois. I went there from first grade to fifth grade. Elementary school is where I began my early years of education. Began interest’s in reading and whiting. First learned the nature of my learning disabilities. I was diagnosed with dyslexia, and speech impediment. Which made learning hard from the start. Sandburg Jr. High School is where I went for my sixth grade education. I was only at Sandburg for one year, for the year that I was there I started going down the wrong path, started getting into trouble and hanging out with the wrong crowd. Midway into my sixth grade year I moved to the other side of Elmhurst. So for seventh grade I went to Churchville Jr. High School. During my time there I continued to have a hard time with my studies. I also almost got expelled

     Once my family and I arrived at our new house I was still very saddened because of the move and had trouble not getting mad at my parents. Summer went bye like it wasn’t even there and by the time school started I was very depressed. The new school I was going to was Naperville North High School which was about ten times the size of my old school in Pennsylvania in size and in the number of students. In my school in Pennsylvania there were about twelve students in each class, here the number runs around thirty two. The school building was so big I had a lot of trouble getting to class on time let alone finding them in the building. The school wasn’t what I was bothered by the most because it was the fact that I didn’t have any social life and I was a social person. There were a lot of different groups of people at my new high school, it was tough for me to fit in and meet new people. Everyone just knew me as the new kid and didn’t even bother to find out what my real name was. The first

The first reason is I had a great teacher named Ms.Goltzer but she left on maternity leave and her dad came as the substitute. Her dad was also an amazing teacher even better than her and I was kinda confused about all of that and who I should like better. He made me like school. Also, he was really good at chess and taught me how to play pretty well. I would go to school early every morning to get better and get the title of “Chess Champion”. I don’t completely remember but I’m pretty sure that title did hold some weight with the other kids in my class. I worked super hard for this title. This probably the first I can remember twice exceptionality really helping me. The second thing that happened in first was a kid named David. And he was kind of a bully and I really didn’t like this. I couldn’t take him torturing my friends. And he would do this both mentally and physically. He would insult everyone in really mean ways for first grade. Also, David would physically hurt people. I tried to shove him off people and I got in a lot of trouble for this but to this day I don’t regret anything that I

Subsequently, my mother saw my pain and decided to relocate back to Atlanta. I became acquainted with some children from the wrong side of the tracks and my life began to spiral out of control. I would stay out late on school nights and often missed school because I thought hanging out with my new found family was more important. Soon my grades began to plummet. I saw no way to bring up my grades and decided to drop out of high school in the twelfth grade.

When I was a child I had many happy memories. I was born and raised in Lowell, Michigan. A small, rural town with very little diversity. I attended schools in the Lowell Area School District from kindergarten through 12th grade. As I sit and reflect on my elementary school years, I have many happy memories. I had positive relationships with many of my teachers; especially in my K-4 years. Mrs. Pomper always made me feel welcomed and always greet me with a smile. Mrs. Sterly taught me to read and Mrs. Ham always had confidence in me. These are three of my teachers in my early years I will never forget. My grades were good and I was motivated to try my best in everything I did in school; even if it was playing soccer and volleyball which were definitely not in my skills set. My view of school was positive, I loved going. I had friends, great teachers,
