Hello everybody my name is Edwin Torres and it is a great honor to be here. I would like to thank Mrs.Dietz and Mrs.German also all teachers, staff, families and 2014-15 5th grade students for supporting me. I am going to talk about how I got so far in my life.
First is as a kindergartner I thought school was going to be easy and fun but is I started to come more and more it would become harder and boring. I learned to read and also learned my numbers which now it’s helping me a lot in my past years. I have met a lot of other students in kindergarten like My friend Little that has black hair very long hair wears glasses and cool, also Matthew that has black hair kinda short small head always wears Under Armor and wears a lot of Jordans.
Now I am going to talk about how being in 1st and 2nd grade helped me and affected me. First grade was when I started to add bigger numbers together. For example in 1st grade I would add 2 digit numbers such as 23+43=66. Also in 1st grade was when I had the big event of my past years being in elementary school. The big event was when I got suspended. The reason I got suspended was because I brought a something serious to school. The reason I brought it was because my friends told me to bring it to school. But I sometimes still wonder why I listened to those friends. But I’ll tell you why. Those friends I used to hang out with told me that I should take it because other people will steal it from my house.
One kid always stole kid’s toys that were outside, and I would keep my toys outside as kid. After a long time, they finally convinced me to take it. I took it to school the next day to school. But I didn’t take it out of my backpack until the end of the day and we were on the bus.
But one of the patrols saw that I took out so they took out of my hands and gave to the bus driver. The next day I was called out of the bus to talk about the situation. They called my mom and they told her I was going to be suspended for 3 days. At home my mom told to watch out with I hang out with because I can lead to the same bad road as them. After that I have never hung out with those kids. 2 of them moved and the other one still lives in the neighborhood.
2nd grade helped to prepare for 3rd grade. In 2nd grade was actually pretty easy for me. In second grade I met a lot of people and at the same time a lot of my friends left.
When I started 3rd grade I started to be more responsible and more mature than I was all then all the other years. 3rd grade was the year that I started to learn to multiply and divide. In 3rd grade I was very bad at dividing and very good at multiplying. But then I started to practice more and more on my division until I got better and I was successful in 3rd grade.
In 4th and 5th grade was the year that I started to feel like the kings of elementary school. In 4th grade we practice our multiplication a lot especially in Ms.Shaffers class. One thing that i Liked about Ms.Shaffer was that she would make learning fun. For example when we were just starting to learn our double and 3 digit numbers she made A multiplication tournament and the winner would be able to get a turn in the prize box.
In fifth grade was a lot of fun. I learned that stuff could be hard like math reading and all the other subjects in school. My teacher Mr.Fitz has been giving us advice for middle school. For example he said “that if you think this school work is hard just wait until next year” which meant that middle school is going to be harder.
In middle school I am hoping to meet new people. I also hope I don’t get into any trouble like I did this year. In future I will try to graduate high school go to a college or become a Soccer player If i don’t become A Soccer player I hope to make a company or A be A Scientist.
Thank you, everybody for supporting me have A great rest of you summer!
