My name is Maddie. I attend a private school in Rhode Island. I have been going to this school since kindergarten. I am now entering sixth grade. I am very excited! I love to learn about wars and battles and historic characters that changed out country and created history that we now study today. I also like lit, science, and language arts. I guess you could say I like academic activities. But don't worry I'm not one of the girls who has no friends and only pays attention to academics. I love academics, trust me, I do, but I also run in races that my school participates in. I dance with my friends at a dance studio. We put on shows and parades through the springtime and my studio also comes to my school! I am in the school yard lined up and ready to go inside. Everyone around me is talking to their friends from last year and making new ones with the new kids. I turn to talk to my friends, Gabby and Sierra, but I see that they are talking to a girl that got kicked out of her friend group last year. Her big sister is our teacher. I can't believe how spoiled she is. I decide that I will talk to my friends at lunch as the line proceeds into the building. Upon arriving in our new classroom, we unpack our bags and place our books on the dusty shelves that have been once used the previous year. We get to pick our seats for the year. I run over to my friends Gabby and Sierra. I am so excited to sit with them! We can have so much fun learning together. When I arrive at their table I see that the empty seat has been taken by the girl they were talking to moments before...Alyssa.
