10 Years of Memory


2000
I could never forget it! I was in the 1st grade attending Scenic Hills Elementary at 3450 Scenic Highway in Raleigh. Our principal was Charlesetta Brown. They placed certain –smarter- students in a class separated from others and just so happen to be one of those students. Our teacher name was Ms. Broom. She’s a nice old lady and a great teacher. At that age, I didn’t know what a best friend was; I was cool with everyone in my class. There was no actual fad because everything was cool to us. My favorite movie for that year was the entire “The Air Bud Collection”. The most popular song probably was the Barney theme song. Sometimes I wish I was young again.


2001
I was in the second grade in 2001. I was still attending Scenic Hills Elementary School. I don’t remember my teacher name. But she was an old Caucasian lady, kind of tall, sometimes mean, but always willing. She gave a lot of work also. My best friend name was Marvin. We had been friends since kindergarten. We were always together. There was no current fad at all. Well, at least we weren’t thinking of one. My favorite movie for that year was Spy Kids. It was the best! The most popular song was Survivor by Destiny’s Child. I still listen to that today. What I remember about that year is that my best cousin/best friend , Shamiria, swallowed her ear ring. Oh my god! I miss her!





2002
The year of 2002, I was in the third grade. I don’t remember my teacher name. I do not remember my teacher at Scenic Hills Elementary School. I remember my principle, Mrs. Brown. My best friend was my cousin Shamyria. My favorite movie of that year was Agent Cody Banks. It was like a Disney Movie. There was no current fad at all! We were young and just living life. The most popular song was Hot in Here by Nelly. What I remember most about that year was the good lunch cookies we had and the time I spent with everybody.
