The end of the year is always a hustle with graduation and reflecting on our past year. We have been through so many adventures during this year of 2023-2024 some good some bad. Here's my experience.
At the beginning of the year I can remember the first day of school so clearly. As I walked into the classroom where my former homeroom teacher Ms.D’Ambrosio greeted me with a smile “Welcome to 6th grade! Have a seat”. As I sat down at my table I met a few people and greeted them with a smile. “Hi my name is Elaine, what's yours?” and that was the beginning of my marvelous friendship with several of my classmates. But my homeroom teacher was changed soon to Ms.Peretz
Fast Forward to a few weeks later I am to choose one arts program. At first I’m confused on which to pick but once I heard the option of band I immediately picked it. I love music and play music as well. My main instrument is the flute and I knew I was going to get along well in that class. As I got the email of which arts we got into I was overjoyed to be picked to join the band. As I met Ms.shecter (aka BEST MUSIC TEACHER EVER!!!!!) she asked us who has played a instrument before coming here I was one of the very very few people to raise their hands she asked each one of us how long and which instrument we played As she got to me I said “3 years and a half on the flute” that's where my journey began with the delicate notes of music.
During December It was Christmas time and I remember there was a contest where we had to do daily challenges such as decorate our classroom. For my class everything was a bit underwhelming and we didn’t win. But it was quite fun.
Now PRESENT TIME!!!!! I have gone through so many adventures, bad and good. But it was all exciting like passing NYSSMA level 6 and my band's concert. Also I have met so many interesting people that all became my friends and they are amazing. Too incoming 6th graders DON’T worry too much you're gonna have fun and relax. Thank you for reading :D.
