The memories of 1st grade

by K.L. Mátyás, 7th grade


The 1st of September, 2013. Our hero Mátyás was excited to be in school. He didn’t know what  was waiting for him. Week one at school: Nothing was happening. We didn’t have our books to learn. It wasn’t that bad. We were in the prison of the football pitch. At that time it wasn’t made of plastic grass. It was so painful to fall to the ground then. We weren’t friends first, but through the years we realized that this is the only chance to survive. We played football with a ball made of plastic. We weren’t strong enough to kick a real football. This prison trained us to know that you don’t want to kick that ball with your toes. Week two: The books and desks arrived. We started learning. We didn’t really learn anything. Our days  were full of learning the defaults of maths, grammar, literature, English and physical education. We did one or two exercises per lesson. It was boring and pointless, too. From then on until the end of the 2nd grade: We couldn’t do more than two exercises per lesson. We weren’t stupid, but we weren’t smart. We spent ten minutes or less at prison yard every day. It was horrible. When we were with our maths teacher we studied maths, maths during daycare and p.e and. We studied grammar and literature when we were with the Hungarian teacher. Every teacher was Hungarian, but she taught us Hungarian literature and grammar.         

Somewhere around the 20th of December in that exact point of the space time continuum, the 1st grade of 2013 and 2014 went on their first school winter holiday. Christmas arrived as soon as it could. It wasn’t long. It was short. And it’s getting shorter and shorter year by year. IT’S HORRIBLY TERRIBLE! But let’s get back to school. The teachers or prison officers say this after Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer holidays. They cannot miss this. The 6th of January in 2014: The Winter holiday ended. We said what we got from the little Jesus or poor people from the angel. It was good cause we didn’t learn. Then we realized after three years that we missed so many things about maths, grammar and some other things.

The 20th of March in 2014. The first school Easter started to come. Everyone was excited about it. What will the bunny bring for us? It was not cool! The teachers said this is good! but we all knew that they don’t really give a single piece of poo-poo. Sorry for those massively bad words, but I had to let it out! Then after a lot of pointless lessons we got to the Spring holiday. Nothing happened except Easter. We made it through every single maths and grammar lesson without going out to the prison yard for more than  fifteen minutes, and we finally got to the Summer holiday. We thought… We had to listen for like one and a half hours to a speech! It was one of the most boring experiences of my life. And side note: Our prison is getting better in time but the year ender show is always getting longer and longer! And of course the year ends in summer, because it cannot end when it starts of course, so it’s hot as magma multiplied by magma99 because the school has like 450 students in every year, plus the parents, plus teachers, plus special guests. It is as hot as that word that you are thinking about, but I won’t write it in the story cause it’s as bad as the same word. So yeah. I hated 1st grade and I still hate it, but I got trained through the years, and the good news is there’s only 20 months left… ×CRYING EMOJI×  and then the high level prison comes…×CRYING EMOJI×
