I am pleased to inform everyone of some very wonderful news. Today while I was looking for the cords to my Dell printer, I found my 3.5 inch floppy disks which contain many of my reports I had written over the years dating as far back as third grade. Can you believe it? THIRD GRADE? I graduated from high school in 2005. I didn't graduate early, nor did I ever skip a grade, so if my final year of high school was during 2004-2005, count backwards and this is what you will find:
High School:
Senior Year: 2004-2005 (Mrs. Patricks)
Junior Year: 2003-2004 (Mrs. Walters)
Sophomore Year: 2002-2003 (Madam Washington)
Freshman Year: 2001-2002 (Madam Governale)
Middle School:
Eighth Grade: 2000-2001 (Mrs. Newton)
Seventh Grade: 1999-2000 (Mrs. Bopp)
Sixth Grade: 1998-1999 (Miss Messina)
Fifth Grade: 1997-1998 (Mrs. Hele)
Elementary School:
Fourth Grade: 1996-1997 (Miss Wright)
THIRD GRADE: 1995-1996 (Mrs. Andrews)
Second Grade: 1994-1995 (Mrs. Bedford)
First Grade: 1993-1994 (Mrs. Calvert)
Kindergarten: 1992-1993 (Mrs. Gomez)
It's been over twenty years since I started Kindergarten, and its been over SEVENTEEN YEARS since I was in THIRD GRADE!
Now I know many of you are all too painfully aware of my need to edit anything I write before I post it on here. However, because I feel it is something I'm almost certain you, my faithful readers, would prefer to see unedited, I have decided to forgo the editing process on my grade school reports and post them as they are, the way I turned them in when they were due. This way you can truly see where I was over SEVENTEEN YEARS ago, where I am now, and possibly get a glimpse of where I am headed. There is just one problem, and I am asking for help from YOU, my faithful readers. Does anyone have an external 3.5 inch floppy disk drive they would be willing to let me borrow? OR Perhaps a computer with a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive which I might be able to use? This way I can transfer the files to a CD. After which I will use the CD to transfer the files to my laptop. From there, I will place copies of them on my external hard drive, and post them to my blog, for you, my faithful readers, to enjoy in their raw and unedited form. Please let me know.
Sincerely,
Amanda Best
