My Eighth Grade

Being from Saint John’s, there was a few more opportunity’s that I had, that others did not. With having smaller classes I was able to have a bond with my teachers. With having that said I it was much easier to get away with things. For example, ditching class and spending it out on the play ground with my friends. Or talking on AIM in computer class (they did not have a filter at that time). I only had three teachers for all of my classes. Each one of them taught two classes.
Eighth grade was the overall best year for me. During that school year it never felt like school, it was more fun. I have so many wonderful memories that I will hold on to for a life time. One of my favorite memories was getting the opportunity to conduct an experiment. I chose one of the more popular one, the reaction when mint mentos is put into a coke bottle. It turns out that diet coke, works well better than regular. It was amazing to see pop shoot up 15 feet.
Before my graduation we took a trip to Falling Waters, which was built by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was so amazing to see a house that was built over a water fall. I had no idea we had that type of technology in 1935. Also part of the house’s structure was built on a boulder, with a fireplace in it. It was such a beautiful home.
Another fantastic memory was my graduation. Even though it only had five kids including myself, it was something I would never forget. We had to opportunity to make a slide show of each one of us growing up in the school. It was great to look back and see how far each and every one of us had come.
