So last time I was saying I was really close with my cousin Mel. Man thinking back we spent so much time hanging out since we were in elementry school throughout middle school. Whether we just hung out, played house ( don't laugh alot of girls played house when they are young ), went swimming at her house, or we played basketball. She was the one that got me to like basketball. She had a basketball hoop at her house so everytime I stayed there we would play. Her dad was the coach for her church team so he would help us practice. I was crazy how good she was since we were little. When she was in about the 7th grade I think she was shooting 3 pointers. I wasn't the best basketball player but I gave it my all no matter what. For elementry school I went to a charter school, I loved it back then. It ended up being the worst choice to go to. After fifth grade there I took a test to see about going on to 6th grade at a public school. They said I was average to go to 6th grade but my mom though it was best if I repeated 5th grade. There were a few reasons why. One was home reasons that summer before I was suppose to be in 6th grade we left my dad so that was hard on me. Another was to help me get use to public schools and the way they taught. I might of been ok going on to 6th grade but I would of struggled even more than I did in 5th grade at a public school. I am happy in some ways that I was held back but some I am not. I would of not made the friends I have now and my choices could be different from then to now. By the end of my repeated 5th grade year we were back with my dad. Things were alittle better but not all the way. The fighting alot was still there but at least it calmed down just alittle bit. At times I just wished for a different life and different parents. Well this is all for now next time will be about my middle school years. Leave comments or message me if you would like. Til next time bye. |
