Scared of a Math Test? Don’t.
I was taking a math test so I could skip 6th grade math and get to 7th grade. At first, I was really happy I wouldn’t have to do something easy, but soon I just wanted to get it over with. Then the day before the test came. I was entirely scared and much too [...]

The Last Party
5th grade ended that morning at exactly 10:45. I was now a 6th grader. That didn’t mean all fun was lost. We still had one last party up our sleeves: the fifth grade graduation party. It was held at a entertainment center: the kind where you add money to get money on a card and [...]
