Hello my name is ThucLam Denise Huynh and this is the story of my life.
I was born on 2008 December, 3rd, all I remember was when I was at least 3 and my 8 year older sister, ThucDan and I found a bug that I thought look like a ladybug shaped as a skateboard. Then when my mom would try to feed me rice, she’d put the spoonful of rice in my mouth I would think and grab onto the spoon with my mouth and not let go. Then one morning I went into my room where my crib used to be. I expected a nice empty mattress from my crib to lay on. But apparently my second cousins/aunts were visiting and I had no idea.While ThucDan dragged me out of the room I pretended and said, “But I wanna look at the fishies!”. We had fish in a tank we separated in tiles my mom used as for yarning things. I asked my dad,”Why are they in their own room Daddy?”. My dad responded and said”So they don’t kill each other.” I stood there like “Sir I am only 6!”. I had a depressed face and those words my dad said gave me the shivers. I also went to ballet classes at this place with a bunch of sports classes. At that time it looked like a mall to me. I don’t think I was supposed to but whenever we would go to the tap session everybody would put on their tap shoes, everybody but me. I would stay in my ballet slippers and have to pound my feet into the ground because that’s how tap dancing is I guess(VERY DANGEROUS).
Then I learned about colors at the age of 4. At that time my favorite color was green, that was because green was the only color I knew. We had this old fashioned computer that I would play on even though it wasn’t turned on. Then I thought about what I was going to be when I grew up, my family would go to Sonic or CiCi’s Pizza a lot and I would see the cashier and in my little mind I would say, “One day I will be behind the buttons pressing whatever.” Then surprisingly I went to kindergarten, my teacher’s name was Mrs. Lull. I had made my first friend named, Chloe. She would always be in a good mood except when she and I had fights. Then my official best friend ever,Kali wouldn’t approve Chloe. But I didn’t play with Chloe as much as I did in the beginning of the year so I let Chloe go. She had a new best friend,Taryn anyway.
Then 1st grade punched me in the face.I had lost contact with Kali from kindergarten but I managed through. We had only 4 boys and at least 11 girls. My teacher’s name was Mrs.Galvin. She was the second best, after we did our Bell Work(Morning Work)we would put up our hand and Mrs.Galvin will check our paper to let us go to her desk and pick out three candies. I would ALWAYS be the first. Then my teacher finally declared that I was the smartest in my class that was pretty cool until my life changed after that. My math group I would be assigned with made me answer all the questions. Then no one wanted to play with me because they thought their popularity would fade if they hung around a nerd. But my best friend,Arianna stuck with me because everyone declared her a liar.
Second grade wasn’t as bad as first grade. I went to this catholic school named SSJ.My teacher’s name was Mrs.Bailey. I immediately made friends with this girl named Neveah. But it wore off when I found my group made of four girls,me,Reagan,Gabriella/Gaby and Isa/Isabella. then a girl who was held back named Stephanie joined then Gaby came up with the name Funny Five. I always secretly called us the Talented Five. We were all good at one or more things. Reagan was good at art and mostly gymnastics, Gaby was good at art and reading, Isa was good at art and karate, Stephanie was good at reading and art then finally me I’m good at crafting singing and art.
Then third grade struck towards me. I made to the Pageant choir and the Honors Choir which sings in the church. My teacher’s name is Mrs.Mulkern. I still had Gaby and Reagan but Isa and Stephanie were in the other class. I loved Mrs.Mulkern she would always give Tic-Tacs to the children who behaved. I was so excited when that happened I tried to be on my best behavior when Mrs.Mulkern started giving them out to students. Not many of them were me…
Here we are at fourth grade. Mrs.Miller my teacher, Isa the only one in my class that has been in the Funny Five. Maybe there is no WAY I’m gonna make it through fourth grade. Only one late assignment per quarter. The rest…are zeros. Could life get any better. Yay….
I’m not in fifth grade yet because we’re only talking in August. But anyways… mom wants me in band. I don’t know what I want. There’s not much. I used to like chess but now I don’t suggest to play anymore. Sure I think it’s fun but there are better after-school activities. Like…I don’t know but you get what I mean.
