5th grade journal 2 (Retro personal entry)

(This is a transcription of journal entries from long before I started this blogsite. This one is from 5th grade.)

October 18, 1995
Dear journal,
In are old school we got are lunch by putting are
lunch cards in the credit card catalog. Now I am
so surprised to take care of the lunch tickets.
About Shawn Brooker (sic; Shaun Brooker), That's the boy I like the
most and want to make friends the most. But he
doesn't like me but I like him. Did he change
his personality, increase his violence and always get
in trouble with new students? He is an ATTM.
(All time trouble maker.) He must end up in the
administration center! I tried to forgive him, but
he didn't forgive me back. I think he needs a punishment
from god because he is non-friendly. Nick (Nick Winters) has to be
beaten up too. These kids hurt our feelings. They should
see the principal.

(Retro Note: I was never gay. The way I worded this entry just made me sound like a homosexual. 5th graders may have a tendency to sound like a different type of person by mistake.)

5th grade journal 1 (Retro Personal Entry)

(This is a transcription of journal entries from long before I started this blogsite. This one is from 5th grade.)


October 6, 1995
Dear Journal,
Yesterday was my first day at this new school. I like this school
because this school is a lot bigger than my old school.
My old school teachers were Mrs. Sandborn, Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Schuler,
Mrs. Jury, Mrs. Dawson, Mrs. Weller. My old school was built
1935.


(Retro note: The full names of my teachers were:
Janice Sanborn, Kindergarten (although Mrs. Katie Wieters was her student-teaching assistant that year)
Velda Becker, 1st grade
Sally Schuler, 2nd grade
Renee Jury, 3rd grade
Joan Dawson, 4th grade
Cecilia Weller, 5th grade


All of the above teachers taught at Chapman Elementary, a school I went to during most of my childhood. Sadly, that school was destroyed by a tornado in June 2008, along with the middle and high schools and a great portion of Chapman.)
