made my first ever friend
I made my first ever friend in pre-k. I forgot her name but she had long ginger hair and our friendship was extremely toxic for having been 4-5y/o. She would get upset at me for playing with other kids and would ignore me if she was mad at me, for a usually unknown reason. Safe to say that friendship didn't expand past pre-k. -
first day of kindergarten
My first day of school at Ole A. Thorp Scholastic Academy. -
made my first kindergarten friend
I asked her what her name was once when my teacher was reading a story and we were inseparable after that. She ended up transferring after 1st grade and I haven't seen her since. Her name's Charlotte. -
gymnastics coaching
A lot of the girls in my graduating class were interested in gymnastics or already was a gymnast. Since I was a gymnast I would spend recess teaching my friends and essentially roleplaying as a coach. It was very fun and I did this for a few years. I was taking initiative and supplied a demand. -
thinking i broke my arm
I was doing a cartwheel and then got distracted mid-cartwheel and fell on my arm and had to go to the hospital in the middle of the school-day to get it examined. -
making top 3 in my first gymnastics competition
I was really scared of competing so I never wanted to but I finally did and for my first competition I got 1st and 3rd place which landed me a spot to compete citywide. I am athletic -
singing in my school's holiday show
I was brave and sung in front of the whole school and a bunch of parents. -
meeting my best friend
I met my best friend to this day in 5th grade through my best friend at the time (I'm not friends with her anymore). -
my first sleepover with best friend !!
I've attended sleepovers in the past but this was my first sleepover with my best friend Bianey (this sleepover was her first ever though). We watched the Maze Runner trilogy and made a blanket fort. The things we did and ate on this day have been tradition for our sleepovers ever since. -
8th grade graduation
After spending 9 years at Ole A. Thorp I finally graduated and was on my way to William Howard Taft high school. I was scared to start over without any friends. -
meeting kbag
I met my closest friends that I have to this day on the first day of school, first period of the day. I was confident and spoke to them. -
first day of high school
My first day as a freshman at the Taft Freshman Campus. I was excited for a new environment but I was sad because I just wanted to have my old friends. -
hip mall
When I attended the Taft freshman academy I went to the H.I.P. mall after school almost every single day. The mall is basically a straight shot from the campus and was extremely convenient to go to with friends. -
making money freshman year
A way I would make quick money freshman year was through selling cupcakes. I would make a batch of about 24 strawberry cupcakes and sell them for $2 each or 2 for $3. I would sell out before lunch (5th period) and I had people pre-ordering. I was being communicative by engaging in customer:seller situations. -
dave's !!
I went to a chicken place called Dave's Hot Chicken with two of my friends and it was so good and I'm glad I experienced the food with them. It's now "our thing". -
16th birthday party
Me and my best friend go to different schools so we don't see each other often. I came over completely forgetting it was almost my birthday and she had thrown me a mini birthday party. She bought me a sash/crown and decorated her room with balloons. She made me a birthday cake and we watched movies and ate snacks. That was the sweetest thing someone has ever done for me and it made me feel appreciated and happy. -
lost one of my closest friends
A friend of mine I was insanely close with during 2020-2022 started to kinda drift from each other. We were growing into different people and went to different schools. I didn't really enjoy hanging out with or talking to him anymore because his whole life revolved around girls and I felt like more of a "girl repellent" than a friend. -
winter break !!
I'm excited to have 2 weeks off of school and sleep in and hangout with my friends.
