Extra Credit

Today I got on the bus for a new and exciting week of 4th grade.  At lunch I decided to sit with this boy.  We talked about favorite video games and then, snap!  We became best friends.

It was just your regular Tuesday.  I had lunch with my best friend Sam.  I went to L.A. with my other best friend Ian.  And I went home so I could relax.

Ugh.  It's already Wednesday.  Ugh.  I don't feel well.  Well I guess I'm sick so I'll go back to sleep.

Ok it's Thursday and I just got off the bus and I walked home.  Once I opened the door my mom was crying.  I asked my dad what happened and he told me that my grandmother died.  I stared to cry and cry.

It's been two days since I heard he news and I went back to school.  I missed two days because I was still grieving.

It has been one week and today is the funeral day and all I can think about is that this is my last day to see her and when they lowered the casket I clenched my fists and tried not to cry even though the tears never stopped.

Five years have passed now.  Back then I was quiet and only helped myself.  Now, even though I'm still quiet I want to help others.  And I know I have grown as a person.  I'm sure that my grandmother, wherever she is... I bet she is very proud.
