report cards from the past

My mom got her "important box" out and gave me several things she had saved for me as I was growing up: report cards, my baby footprints, and a copy of my fingerprints. I found it fascinating what some of my past teachers had written about me. Here are a few of the comments.

Kindergarten, 1st quarter: "Tina is a good student. She works well independently but needs occasional reminders about talking out of turn" I guess some things never change...I'm still a blabber mouth

Kindergarten, 2nd quarter: "Tina's work is progressing very nicely this marking period. The talking problem has improved but since her friend Danielle has left, she had some difficulty making new friends." I had forgotten all about Danielle. She lived on my street and we played together all day, every day. I've always only had one or two close friends. I was never the type to have a big group of friends. I wonder where Danielle is now.

Fourth grade, 3rd quarter: "Tina is so creative in her work. She also is so kind and sharing with all of the students. If I had a child, I would hope to have her have the qualities Tina has." Wow! I was so surprised when I read this comment. Had no idea she felt that way about me. Honestly, this teacher is not one that stands out as one of my most memorable. I do remember her, but I can't remember anything extra special. Isn't that sad? Such is the way of memories.

Fourth grade, 4th quarter: "Tina, always continue your love of books and continue to share your knowledge with others. You have been a delight to have in my class" This was the year I discovered the joy of reading. "Ramona the Pest" was the first chapter book I ever read on my own. Oh, how I loved it.

You are a good share-er. And very kind.

I think of all my friends my parents liked you the best because you brought out something different in me. Like, I didn't like being mean to people or stuff when I was around you because you weren't that way and I didn't want you to not like me. So I wanted to be good when I was around you.

*lol* Which is funny, because now I'm all like CRAP! OOps! Why did I say a bad word! T is going to think I'm a poophead. Crap again! and so on and so on.

Tina has imaginary friends named Dirk and Snippy and she always addresses herself in the school restroom mirrors as Queen T. I am frankly worried. However her nuclear botanist research is lightyears ahead of the field. Maybe there's a chance she will drift towards history as a major.
