School - The World As I See It

Writers Workshop-Show and Tell

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 1 which is something I brought for show and tell. When I saw this prompt I was pissed that I still don’t have the thing I brought to school a few times. I had kept if for years and years and a few years ago I figured it was time to let them finally go.

I guess I should tell you all what I brought. If you are squeamish you might want to just skip to the end because I am sure this will gross out some people. I got my tonsils out the summer before I started the 2nd grade and the doctor let me keep them so I would always bring them because it would gross people out. I always thought it was so cool to have them and be able to show other people. I am not one that gets easily grossed out so I thought it was funny when other people did get grossed out.

I also brought my cat a few times as well. I wasn’t ever a huge fan of show and tell because I hated getting up in front of the class and having to talk to everyone. To this day I still hate public speaking and getting up in front of people but that is a topic for another post one day.

What is one thing you remember bringing to school for show and tell?

This weeks prompts:

1. Something you brought for show and tell.
2. November 3rd is National Housewife’s Day…how did you celebrate?
3. The meaning of your name…does it suit you?
4. Tell us about something new you learned last month.
5. Share a list of some of your most recent favorite things.
6. What was your favorite song when you were 16 years old…is it still a favorite?

What I Miss Most

I remember while I was in school thinking that I was never going to miss being in school. Now that I have been out of school for a few years I realize that I do miss school. I don’t miss tests but I miss learning. I actually miss going to classes and learning new things. It is crazy for me to think that I miss anything about school because I really hated school until I got to college.

High school was rough for me because of bullying and I just wanted to get out of there. Once I started college and Weber State University I came to love learning and going to class. I know it had a lot to do with the fact that I was taking classes that I enjoyed and wasn’t stuck taking tons of classes that didn’t interest me.

I miss learning things. I don’t know what it is about sitting a class room listening to a professor teach that makes me feel like I am learning but it does. I really want to take a class here are there because I do miss learning. I feel like I am wasting away when I am not in school. I am sure that is because I never have finished school so I still feel like I need to finish.

School has always come easy to me and I think that is why I miss learning.
