Oh My God, I can not believe I am a fifth-grader. Looking back at when I first moved to Scarsdale from Brooklyn, in first grade, I can remember looking up to the fifth graders like it was yesterday. I don’t even feel much older. But that being said, it’s fun being the oldest in school, I love it! It’s only been about three weeks but I already feel the difference. We have way more opportunities.
Although, the one thing that’s still upsetting is the fact that we have to wear masks. The past 18 months were hard, we had virtual things 24/7 luckily my parents weren’t as scared as others so it didn’t affect me in a big way except for the masks. I got to see my friends and go to sports the only thing that changed a lot was not going to school of course.
The things I’m looking forward to are all the graduation activities, the 5th grade vs volleyball teacher game (if we have it), all the holidays, and the snow days which are fun!
