10 year old C writes a weekly journal entry for her spelling class. Her assigned topic this week was to tell about a time someone she knows did something wrong. She was to write about how she reacted, how she could have responded, and what she would do differently, if anything. C chose to write about a certain girl who made her life pretty miserable 2 years ago in public school. As this is her final weekly journal entry for 4th grade, and as I thought she did a fairly decent job free writing, we decided she could type it here for all to see a sample of her writing.
The following is written and typed by C:
People were always mean to me when I went to public schools. They called me names. Once T shoved her desk into my desk and hurt me. When I hurt my foot, T made fun of me.
If I could go back to second grade, I would try to be nicer to T, by inviting her to my house and birthday party, and trying to play with her on the playground. When T called me a name I could have told told her the Bible says to treat others as you would want them to treat you. I was not ever mean to T, but I could have been nicer.

C. that sounds like exactly something Jesus would want for you to do! Good job with your paper!
C, I liked your essay. It makes me sad when people are mean. I am glad that you are homeschooled like me. I went to public school for first grade. It was so scary sometimes I would ask my teacher to let me stay in the classroom instead of going on the playground. I'm almost 10. I'm in the 4th grade, too. From Lydia (Daisy's daughter)
