What Is Your Favorite School Memory?

My favorite memory was making friends the first day of class and ending up hanging out with them all summer.

My favorite memory is from when I was in 4th grade. There was a program for students that had good grades where we could go out and have an extra long recess and we got a recess outside in the snow when the school usually has recess inside during the winter. I thought my grades weren't good enough so I didn't bring my snow suit. Obviously I cried because I had good grade and couldn't go outside. My teacher said we should see if her snow suit would fit. She helped me put it on and it was a little long so we shoved as much of it in my boots as we could and I got to go out with all my friends. That is something I will never forget and she has a permanent place in my heart.

I'm a nerd and my favorite memories were of the class lining up to do multiplication tables as a race. It made me feel great to be the fastest! I also looked forward to collecting a bunch of paper bags from Jewel so I could draw and decorate them and use them as book covers (since we couldn't afford the cool looking ones from the store). But I loved the creative part of me!

My favorite memory from school was going to our school dances. No matter how bad the days of school were and long - when we'd have our dances on Friday nights Id go and spend time with my friends and act goofy and dance! Dancing has always been something that brings joy to my life I learned that early on while going to the dances. Oh, how I miss being young and miss all my friends!

I always thought my first grade teacher was the meanest, nastiest human being on the planet. Our paths crossed near the end of my senior year of high school and she not only remembered me, she blew me away. it turns out she had saved a paper I wrote and she insisted on sending it to me. When asked to write a "story" in class, I had written the entire Pledge of Allegiance. I thought nothing of it, but to her it was the "most moving experience of her entire teaching career." I graduated high school back in 1971 and even today, whenever I doubt my own abilities, I still return to that conversation and smile. Hindsight being 20/20, this poor woman had 2 sets of IDENTICAL TWINS and several kids who would now qualify as massively ADHD all in one first grade classroom....she was a saint!!!!!

I remember when I used to get together with my girlfriends for lunch and go eat pizza at Nicky's cafe. We had so many laughs and lots of fun -- too bad they don't let the kids out to enjoy lunches like I did.

I loved to go back to school shopping with my mom and get her full attention!

My favorite school memory is actually a tradition... every year my mother would make a very big deal of the first day of school. Big homecooked breakfast, we'd all eat together (there were 5 of s kids) and then when it was time for the school bus to come for the older kids (we started at two different times, so the 3 older kids went together and then the younger later), my mom would take pictures of us all together... Now that we are all alot older it is memories like this that we each cherish.

Playing soccer!! I wish my body could move like that again.

My 3rd grade teacher was the most disliked woman on the planet. Her name was Miss Colwell, and I did not like her. One day I lost my balance on the jungle gym. I was hanging by one hand and the back of my head slammed into the metal bars. I bled everywhere. This teacher who I despised put me in her car and drove me home because my parents couldn't come and get me. I didn't tell her thank you, but I am so thankful to her because of her help.

my favorite was my "first day of school" outfit. all the time and thought that went into my first day, LOVED IT!

My favorite school memory is our "Friday Movie" my HS Principal would give us a incentive for going to school everyday. On Fridays for 5th & 6th period he would let students on list enter his "Movie Theater" it was definitely my favorite and got me off of bed every morning I never wanted to miss getting my name on the Movie List.

That my birthday fell right before we returned to school in the fall!

My favorite school memories are the science lab classes in 8th grade with a beloved teacher, Mr. Dorn. My lab partner was one of the cutest boys in our class and we became good friends. We actually made glass pipettes and did lots of cool dangerous things back in 1981!! We enjoyed the other team of boys that shared our table. They were a giant football player and a tiny Chinese American boy and were hilarious together. Luckily, you could be a small smart kid at our school and not be bullied and I always think about our quartet when I hear about bullying. I'm proud that we supported kids of all shapes, sizes and races.

I remember having to give my very first speech in 9th grade. I was absolutely terrified. I stood up, gave the speech, and was convinced that my voice and hands were shaking the entire time, and that everyone knew. When I finished, I had several friends come up to me and ask me what I did to be so confident and give such a great speech. I even got an A on it. I was amazed. It made me really understand that other people perceive me differently than how I perceive myself. It was a very proud moment for me!
