Patience is needed in life. If patience didn't exist, there would be much more violence in the world than there is today.
That is all for now.

Started Back fifth-grade
I can't believe that I'd forgotten about this blog. Wow. I haven't been on here for more than a year, so I'm going to catch you guys up on what's been happening in my life.
I've turned ten-years old, to begin. I've also grown - yes, this is surprising - seven inches since January of 2014! I am nearly 5'0 now, and by the time that I'm eleven or twelve, I will most likely either be the same height as my mother or taller than her.
The most prominent thing that's happened was me beginning fifth-grade a little over a month ago! :)
I must say that fifth-grade is a lot easier/better than I thought it would be, at least for now. Perhaps it's just because the school year has recently started, but being in Mr. Wong's math group is a lot easier than I thought it would be. Well... at least whenever there aren't assessments.
We had an assessment yesterday, on Friday the second. I didn't finish all three pages, and I'm sure that I got a few answers wrong. I just hope that my score wasn't horrid. I tried my best, and, as I usually do, spent the majority of my time showing my work.
I never knew just how difficult it is to deal with fourth-graders. Last year, I didn't think that we were that bad, but this year... well, it's not too good with the fourth-graders to say the least.
Most of them seem to be having issues adapting to Ms. DiNapoli's classroom. There are new sets of rules there, and I can see that nearly all of them are having trouble following them. They tend to talk a bit.
However, I, along with other fifth-graders, are willing to have patience with this. Besides, they are, undoubtedly, not as bad as the little kids are whenever we do our jobs as Conflict Managers.
Ms. Barr, the principal of our school, recently introduced a new game to the playground (which I, for the record, don't play on that much anymore.) Kindergartners were hitting each other with it. Needless to say, it was very dangerous. They refused to listen, however, and we ended up telling Ms. Barr herself. They didn't get the game again on their next recess.
That is the current update, and I hope to be back next Saturday if fifth-grade doesn't get too difficult!
