Reflection #1

Entering kindergarten was the most terrifying moment of my life. I was not very shy, but the though of leaving my parents was horrific. I everyday for the first two weeks of kindergarten. I didn't participate an any class activities expect for naptime. One day my kindergarten teacher pulled me aside to talk to me. She explained that I was very smart, and tried to include me in some of the fun activities. Afterwards she sange me a song to try to make me feel better. At that moment I finally started to losen up and have fun. For the next couple of months, I started to enjoy kindergarten and even won a reading contest. My kindergarten teacher started being absent for more than weeks at a time. She was replaced by a very mean substitute that no one really like. The next month arrived and my there was still no sign of my teacher. The next day, I learned my teacher had died of cancer. Although I did not know what cancer was, I was aware that my teacher was gone. At that moment I realzied that she was the best teacher ever, and I wanted to be just like her when I grew up.
