It was the day I got the news that I will be learning German for 5 or 6 years.
I was so sad because I wanted to learn french. I cried to my mom. I told her I wanted to move school. I just didn’t like the idea of learning German.
School started. My German class was in the middle of the day. We didn’t have lockers, I was so tired carrying my books and all. I was so unbelievably exhausted. I came into the room, 1.1. I finally met my German Teacher. She asked all of us for our names. She was funny and I started to like German. It was hard to learn but she doesn’t give up until we actually get it into our heads. She makes songs and dance moves so that we can learn it fast.
Many many days passed and I decided that I’m gonna work hard on my German since I realized I was good at it. My German teacher made it fun, she made it interesting, she always motivates me to work hard. But.
Today, my German teacher retired :( I gonna miss her so much. Even though she only taught me for 2 years, it has been fun. She inspired me, a lot. I learned a lot of things from her, things that I didn’t know I could ever learn. It’s not just German she taught me, but she taught me how to believe in myself even though I feel like giving up and how to laugh and be happy even though I was feeling sad and alone.
If you think that life has big plans for me, well, I know that life has even bigger plans for you.
I’m going to miss you Ms. McManus……
my parents wants to send me to the Gaeltacht
as soon as possible…..
i’m sad
i don’t know what to do
my head’s about to explode
i don’t know what to feel
i want to stop feeling sad
i want to stop hiding my tears
i want to stop crying
life isn’t all about winning
but, life isn’t all about losing either.
Everybody wins sometimes.
Unfortunately, I’m not one of those ‘everybody’.
I want to hit Number 1 too. I want to get something right too. I want to win too. Sometimes.
