Untitled--Justin


When I was in elementary school I was a very outspoken curly headed cute little kid
who enjoyed interacting with others and playing outside and loved going to school to play with all my friends just like any other kid. I was a fun loving kid who was very enthusiastic, who loved talking with his friends or anyone who he came across. But being such a young and innocent child I had been raised to be very kind to other but although I was raised right some other were not brought up how I was and i understand everyone is different and has to overcome all sorts of obstacles but to be filled with such anger was not your ideal child. Evan boscheer was his name and although i did not know much about him i did know that he was not your ordinary kid. I dont recollect when this had started but i can only remember that it started in the first grade early out through our first few days of class and even as a young kid one should not have acted like he did not knowing what i had done to him to want to make him want to be how he was and as a young kid i was undersized which is what i believed why he was the way he was. It started off small and then as time passed it kept happening more frequently and i should have told someone but failed to do so because i was scared to and i wasnt the type of kid to talk freely about it to my parents. This series of events occured for pretty much my whole elementary because oh how i was and acted and how i reacted to their actions.I had a decent amount of friends who i was happy with but during altercations with others that led to others criticizing me which is why during my second
and third trimester of third grade I had spent with one of the counselors who had hosted in her room to where we would read a book and drink arizona Iced tea and although it isnt what your typical kid would do I enjoyed it along with the other two kids who also joined in with us and although now looking back i would have rather been playing with my friends but considering the fact that i couldent just play with them without somehow getting into a altercation with someone even if i was minding my own business,it would happen so i did it for the good of my own sake and avoid that with them and during second grade while i was at recess i went to go get a drink of water as i heard people yelling and as i look to see what was happening i see him running,Evan towards me along with teachers behind him as i tried to stop him he overpowered me but was then caught because for open house he did not like what he drew so he tore down everyone else's drawings and after that had not seen him ever again because he had transferred schools. But although he had went away the one thing i wish he did to me went with him but it did not i thought during my fourth grade it dissipated away but i was wrong during fifth grade although i had gotten best dressed and best personality i was treated horribly by others and at times even girls who had a crush on me would join in and i wasnt going to tell them off because i didnt know how to and i didnt have much friends who would back me up in a situation like that. Even the girl i had a crush on since third grade had said it going along with her friends until she had approached me about it and said they get pressured but i didnt believe it because to say something like that is not how one treats their “crush” and from this long dreadful and painful early years of my life that people arnt to be trusted and although others dont think that is the best trait to have i
believe it is because of it I dont get myself into predicaments like that and im not “undersized” so it taught me that there is no need for excessive amount of friends and that you only need very few because it isn’t necessary and which as to why i am to myself and go along for business because i try to focus on myself and not be about others because it can lead to things that you wouldent want to be involved in and it was a tough time but i had preserved through it and am happy that i am who I am.

  2. I'm sorry to hear that these sort of things happened to you but I'm glad you are content with the people you have now. You don't need numerous amounts of friends if the ones you have now keep you happy. - Caleb Leyva P.5
