Starting 5th grade was a big deal to me because I was afraid I was going to fail 4th grade. When I went to meet the teacher I was scared,and nervous. I thought that the teacher wasn’t going to like me. Right when I walked into the school on the first day my hands were already sweating. On the second day of school I was a lot less nervous. 4th grade was probably one of the best years of my life. When we got the STAR test and it said i passed i was really shocked. It took me forever to get my work turned in though. I wish i had gotten my work done faster in 4th grade.  This year was the first year that I got to celebrate my birthday on Thanksgiving ,and also the first year I got a suprise party. I was just taking a nap after diner and my mom woke me up and said they were going to sing happy birthday to me. 2013 was a really fun year I bet 2014 will be just as fun!
