Friday Five | 09.13.02 | School Days
1. What was/is your favorite subject in school? Why?
I loved Language, which is the equivalent of English for you gringos. I loved to read and read and get lost in stories.
2. Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
Sylvia, my 4th and 6th grade teacher. She was... special. Always there for us, treating us as the smart, intelligent kids we always were. She loved to show us off on her classes at college, and we loved to go there. She made us feel special every time. I'll always love her.
3. What is your favorite memory of school?
Gymnastics. I LOVED it. I was on the school team despite the fact I was kinda chubby -- but I had flexibility (in fact, even when I can't open my legs in an 180° angle, I keep the flexible lims, thank you). And you know what? I was kinda good. Not as good as the school stars, but I did nicely. They switched me to the Rhythmic Gymnastics team a while later, because I was supposedly better at corporal expression.
Another favorite memory was a school act when I danced ballet as prima ballerina. I looked so beautiful them. Oh, the days long gone. ::sigh::
4. What was your favorite recess game?
I had two favorite games. The first was hide and seek, that always came in handy when we had to play with those pesky boys. The second and girly one was Miss Universe -- we'd grab our Barbies and dress them up to compete against each other. However, no matter what, our friend Elena's Barbies always won. All the fucking time. That pissed us up horribly to the point of hating her for that. The punchline is, we were the judges ourselves. And we still picked her doll. LOL.
5. What did you hate most about school?
The fact that it was almost epic to be in the same classroom with all my friends every year. We were alphabetically sorted, and when there were many kids in a section, usually the first or the last would have to switch chassrooms. Guess what? I was the first one on the list. On second grade, they changed my classroom. I decided I hated my new teacher and my new classmates, so I decided to sit there all day long and cry until they switched me back. Wanna know how long it took? Five days. I had to cry for five whole fucking days to get me in my old classroom. LOL.
