Looking back at these past three years, I remember many things,trying to be on time for morning readings.Running when the lunch bell rings. I remember the excitement of the school sports day each year.The many hours of training ,pride of overcoming fear. I remember starting day one .The shiest in my whole class.never speaking to anyone and think i would not pass.Then slowly I made some new friends to remember forever.helping each other with homework getting better together. Preparing for art festivals and making a great big mess.Having fun at New Year’s parties, wishing everyone the best.
