A few memories I have from grade 2, age 7 are:
My sticker collection. I remember displaying them and actually selling some to friends.

My "Errand Company". I don't remember when I actually started this, but when I was 7, I had a 18 year old brother, 16 year old sister and 12 year old sister at home. I was always asked to do an "errand" for them. So, I started charging them money! :) I would charge $.03 for "big" errands, $.02 for medium and $.01 for "small" errands (totally cheap huh!). I would keep a tally and make my siblings pay up at the end of the month. They couldn't believe how fast the money would add up! I guess I've always been a businesswoman! :)

| My class pictures and teacher: Mrs. Winters |
I remember one experience with my teacher, Mrs. Winters. I felt she was one of my most "strict" teachers. I remember that I didn't do too well on a Math test (never my strong subject) and I went up to her desk to ask for some help / figure out what I did wrong. I don't remember the details, but I remember I started crying because I felt so bad that I did so poorly. I remember asking for a bathroom pass (I had to follow the rules) and running to the bathroom crying. I think she sent another student to check on me after awhile. I was so embarrassed!

My "group" - 2nd grade. Adam Davis is the 3rd boy from the left.
I remember having a few crushes on boys this year. One of them was Adam Davis (pictured above). I knew him from church. I also had a crush on "John" from my class also (pictured left of the Principal). I remember going to a friend's house and "prank" calling John and hanging up on him when he came on the phone.
I need to dig out my journal to get more details, but this is what I can remember right now. |
