-memories of 9th grade-

Jun 03, 2002 20:17

Well, as this school year comes to a close, I realize how much I am going to miss that school and the teachers. This has been the best year by far, even though I sat there and complained, I really never meant it.

This year we've all experienced different things, the social, Stevens, and the classes. And if you didn't get to experience one of those things you missed out, including if you missed out on Mr. Stevens. Mr. Stevens is another story himself.

This may sound a little strange but.....

I remember last year, as an 8th grader, walking into the auditorium with Phyl thinking, 'What did I get myself into?,' but know why I did. I remember Mr. Stevens calling various 8th graders morons or idiots. I was scared out of my mind. I thought I would go and get the papers and leave, not have him call kids stupid or anything. I did the stupid leaf collection and the wildflower collection and I got good grades on both. But I still wondered why is he making us do this. But as the end of the year approaches, I have learned not to question Mr. Stevens' assignments because he had a reason for giving us every one of the many assignments. He wanted us to become better students. He didn't just teach us about some frog or earthworm. Mr Stevens taught us how to be a student. He prepared us for what is coming up in our life. This year, yes, I've learned different things, but majority of the things I've learned from Stevens.

So I'd like to thank Mr. Stevens for doing what he has done. Thank you for making me a better student.

I can't believe I only have 2 1/2 more days with Stevens. It's hard to believe.

This has been a great year. That is the only way you can describe this year, a great year.

History with Mrs. Hurd, Math with Shoemaker telling his funny stories, English with Frederick, Spanish with Señor and Señora Huntley-Spears and Britta, Journalism and Computer, and Biology with Stevens and Janelle, and study halls with David and Jess and Britta and everyone else.

The Social. Every 9th grader waited for the Social. It was a blast. We waited so long for it to come and now it's over. It seems like yesterday. Everyone looked amazing.

And for me, this year was fun because of softball. JV softball was a blast. The first 2 weeks of practice, I hated it. I hated every 10th grader there. But as practice went on and we began to know each other, we learned to respect each other. And now, I don't know what I'm going to do without some of them. I am going to miss them so much. I love you guys!!

So, as you can tell 9th grade has been a great year! And I am going to miss it so much! I'm going to miss that school, those teachers, and all of you guys! So, thanks for making this year the best ever!
