Grade School Life

@When I Am Still Grade 1-3@


Students undergo different levels in their schooling. The initial step or level is the nursery school or some may call it "prep" or "playgroup". Nevertheless, it is not obligatory to acquire this level for the reason that it is just the preparation for children ages three to five years old. Next is the elementary level. In this instance, it is now required. You cannot proceed to the next or the high school level you cannot adequately finish your six elementary years. Yes! Six years of misery, enjoyment, congregating new friends and of course learning new things. In this entry, I will tell you more about the half of my elementary years in my alma mater- Talamban Elementary School.

On my first year or they dub it Grade 1, it was not that easy for me. I met new friends, new faces and new attitudes. Therefore, I should adjust in my new environment. One thing that made it difficult for me is that I am under of some of my classmates' control. They do not permit me to write my own notes when they are still doing theirs. If I will not abide to them, they will not let me join when they engage in recreation and play games after class hours. I am also very fearful to lose associates at that time so I just tag along them. That is the main basis why every afternoon I will go and visit my other classmate, which is just my neighbor. I go there not to play but to copy her notes. Notes, which I failed to copy when our teacher tell us to do so because of those classmates of mine who have power over me. That is why, sometimes, I just pretend that I have headache so that my father will not send me to school anymore. Another thing, which contributes the hardness when I am still Grade 1, is that because my mom is not here in Cebu. At that time, she was in Cagayan de Oro working.
Change topic, let us go on my grade 2 life. In this moment of time, the condition became better. My classmates will not control me anymore. My mother is also there for me because she already resigned from her work. Then, I thought that that year will be just fine and be smoothly done. However, they are still downs of course. Downs that made me realize that I do not deserve to be tyrannized anymore. One of my classmates stole some of my stuffs like my pencil box, play money, color and my ruler. At first, my friends and I do not have any sufficient substantiation to point the finger at her, but when we scrutinized her bag, we found my belongings. That is why confronted her. At that time, I already gain knowledge of how to exchange blows.
When I am already in Grade 3, there were no conflicts anymore. If there are, we ask for forgiveness instantaneously so that it will not be an immense matter again. Maybe at that time we already know each other. There is synchronization i our classroom already. Furthermore, I am pleased for it... That's life... Ups and downs...
That's all for now... You can read more concerning my life during Grade 4,5 and 6 in the subsequent entry. Thanks for reading! May you have a pleasant day...
