Elementary: By Jacob Adams

Thinking about Jr year has me reminiscing about my entire school career, and I can help but remember the worst seven years (did kindergarten twice)  of my life. Besides recess and nap time what did elementary have going for it? Not a thing, the days seemed longer, the work was dumb and heck we were all pretty dumb back then. I started my long journey with elementary in 2005, I was younger then pretty much everyone and had no friends. It may be hard to believe but back then I was a shy quiet kid, haven't always been the Jacob you all know and hate today. So little ol' me started school shy, no friends, I was five so I was probably pretty dumb. So elementary started great. My first memory is my Grandma making my brother do stuff with me at recess, because as said earlier had no friends. he was whiny at first but he got over and watched me go down slides and such. second memory is when I did start kind of making friends we were on the playground and it had rained the day before or something, and I'm running around out there with some kids probably wearing jean shorts and lite up sketchers, having a great time. Well we decide to go down the slide, and if you don't know going down a slide with water under it is a no, no. so go down still having fun until I hear " HEY!!! you boys know not to do that! Go stand against that wall!" said the very agitated teacher. I don't know what standing against the wall did I guess give the other kids a chance to look at us in disgust. So the bell rings and we go inside, I thought it was over.... but the teacher lines us up, and little me is scared because this was before kids were little wimps who can't be paddled. All she did was frown at us individually and say "Go" with all the disgust in her tone one person could muster. The years go on and I do kindergarten again, which is fine because that's why I'm with all of you good people. Anyhow the years go by and I come out of my shell, I had enough of being called Jordan, wanted teachers to never make that mistake again. That's when I became the Jacob you know now. Riverside made me hate Disney movies for showing them so many times on rainy days. One thing that's funny about watching movies in Elementary is you'll be watching High School Musical or something and some kid yells " That's me!" And of course us all being seven some other kid yells " No huh I'm him!" this goes on for a while until someone yells "No one is anybody!" then we shut up and watch our movie. Another funny thing about elementary is all the legends and rumors, such as Elvis died on the toilet, or the gym was haunted. I think even the bus shop had a ghost or two. In sixth grade Riverside being Riverside tells us if we ever have a code red outside run in a zig zag to the gym, and we squeeze into one room. Okay so if someone wants to harm us we have to run like it's the alcoholics 100 meter dash, and then for extra safety we all hind in one room. That was when I knew I had been in elementary too long.   This is getting a little long so I'll wrap it up. Elementary was terrible and I try to forget most of it everyday.
