未来的生活初中英语作文（实用20篇）

I have a happy family, there are three people in my family, my father, my mother and I. I go to school from Monday to Friday, on the weekends, I will go out with my parents, they always take me to different restaurants, we will taste different food. At night, my mother will tell me a story, then I can have a good dream, I love my family life.

一转眼，我从幼稚的六年级升级到成熟的初一生，大家怀着兴奋又害怕的心情等待走进初中的第一天。

穿上亮黄的运动服，深蓝的运动裤，和带着姐姐使用过的旧书包上学了；我到了陌生的初中校园，惊讶的想︰“我从幼儿园到现在，从未看过这么大的学校过。”所以开学的第一天，就犯下了一个错误，我绕了三、四楼一大圈，上课钟声都打完了，我还急忙的在找教室，最后，才询问到我的教室。一走进教室，气喘如牛，脸红如频果的坐在我的位子上，那整天，我的心情都很懊恼，因为如果提前知道教室在哪，也不会那么丢脸了。

本以为初中生活很有趣，但是我错了，开学第二周，每个老师纷纷排上考试和作业，大家都喊累，但是我知道越接近月考，考试就越多，大家也都会更累，所以不能那么快就放弃；虽然每天都有沉闷的考试，但是班上的活泼，总会打破沉闷的气氛，这也是我有时会期待来上学的原因，只是有时会活泼过头，使人感觉我们有点“三八”呢！

我的班主任个性很好，身材也很好，不过每次功课都出太多了。有一次，班主任说︰“如果你们这次的月考试前三名的话，就请你们吃pizza”，大家一听到有美食可以吃，就兴奋的拍手尖叫，叫的老师说“安静”都没人听见，难怪隔壁班的同学嫌吵；大家有了一致的目标，就更加努力用功，拿个好成绩来换pizza。

月考那天，大家都信心满满。铅笔发出的声音，都听的一清二楚，我也把课本内容读的滚瓜烂熟。果然，那次的成绩，很理想，有四位同学在全校百名之内，这把全班的平均成绩都拉高了，是全校第三名呢！大家又是一阵欢呼加尖叫，老师也说到做到，那次的pizza吃起来特别有成就感，因为这是我们用功读书，换来得之不易的成就啊！

在初中生活，发现初中和小学的差别，也感受到初中的功课压力更重，但是有了目标，我们会愿意用功，在未来的两年半里，我相信初中生活会更精采更有趣。

My Mother is a kind of gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes

good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and

two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We

all love her and she loves us also.

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor

to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very

early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without

complaining.

She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she

can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young,

she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes

silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do

not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good

advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

总以为初中生活枯燥无味，所以，我产生了一种对中学生活的反感。可自从上初中后，我才真正体会到了初中生活的丰富和多彩。 junior high school life .

美丽的校园

也许，是这美丽的校园

每当下课的铃声响起时，同学们便如快乐的小鸟一般冲出教室，而我，却只喜欢带着一份寂静，一个人独自在校园里打转转。我喜欢看校园里鹅黄色的迎春花绽放出春的希望，柳芽儿用自己青涩的方式表达着春意，看那两棵校门口的老树互相依偎着唱歌，更喜欢玉兰那么纯洁的颜色！

在同学们上课的时候，美丽的校园

教学楼的中央，是个用大理石铺成的喷泉。那从喷孔里冒出来的清泉，像一句温暖贴心的话语，轻轻洗涤我们的心灵，敲开心灵的大门。水珠迸溅到胳膊上，清凉的感觉传遍全身。

美丽的校园

老师和同学

也许，是这老师与同学或同学与同学之间浓浓的情谊，把我吸引来这所学校。

在小学的时候，我的数学成绩就不怎么样。自从上了初中以来，它更是成了我进步的一块绊脚石。

果然，不出我的所料，我的数学周测成绩仅仅得了84分。我对数学的厌恶又增加了一分。可是，那天，数学老师找到我，与我进行了一番长谈。我在去办公室的路上一直低着头，我想，这次老师把我叫去一定又是一番让人反感的长篇大论吧！

我做好了心理准备，敲响了老师办公室的大门。一进门，老师便叫我过去，并抬起头注视着她的眼睛。我从老师的眼神里，看到了关爱，却没有一丁点儿责备。我终于敢看着老师了。

那天，老师说了很多鼓励我的话，让我重新拾回了对数学的信心。

但是，在一个晴空万里的中午，又一件不幸的事降临到了我的头上——我用来绑头发的皮套竟然丢了！无奈的我只得用手攥住头发，一时竟窘迫得说不出话来。

这时，几个同班的女同学跑过来，帮我找了一遍。可那皮套就像是和我们捉迷藏一般，就是找不到它！无奈之下，茜和嘉只好把她们饭卡上漂亮的挂饰拿下来，给我做“头绳”用。

老师与同学之间的情谊，让我的初中生活变得丰富！

我爱我的初中生活，但我更爱这美丽的校园

I imagine a lot about lives in the future。I think two words can summarize my imagination。The first word is fast。In the future，we will have more quickly transportation means。

Now matter how far we go，it takes only a short time。With the development of science and technology，we can travel to the moon，Mars or somewhere outer space。People may can live in other planets。The second word is convenient。

Because of the fast development of our society，many work can be done by computers or even robots。

Lots of things are fully automated。Humans just need to give some simple instructions to complete complecated tasks。

我对未来生活充满了想象。我认为可以用两个词来概括我的想象。第一个词是快速。将来，我们会拥有更快的交通方式。不管我们去得多远，它总能在短时间内把我们带到目的地。

随着科学技术的发展，我们可以到月球，火星或者其他外太空旅游。人们也许可以在其他星球居住。第二个词是便利。

由于社会的快速发展，很多工作可以用电脑或者机器人来完成。很多东西都是全自动的。人们只需要提供一些简单的指令来完成复杂的任务。

他，是家中最小的孩子，父母对他的爱不亚于当年的始皇帝对于胡亥的爱。他，便这样平安地长到了十五岁。

统治者昏庸无能，日日莺歌燕舞，以致烽烟四起。我本出生于一个如世外桃源般的小村落之中；我本有一幸福的家庭；我本可以如常人一样，过完我的一生。直到那日官兵的到来，我所有的梦想与憧憬都被打成碎沫，散开。他们抓走了所有的青年男子，我，也不例外。望着年近半百的父母，我的眼泪夺眶而出：“爹，娘，你要等着孩儿！我一定会回来的！”

二十年后。

原本十五岁的少年已长成三十五岁的成人。可，再英俊的面庞也掩盖不住他眼中的哀伤，掩盖不住他身上浓浓的戾气。

我离开家已经二十多年了，最开始时，我还会想念我的爹娘、兄长、姐姐，可现在他们的声音我已无法记起，就连面容也是模糊不清。二十多年来，我无数次从鬼门关旁走过，昔日的战友大多已变成了冰冷的尸体，化作了白骨。这几年来，大大小小的战役我都得以幸存，可每一次的死里逃生都让我更加痛苦。

帝位上的人已换了无数次，但这一次许是高高在上的统治者心存善念，登基之后大赦天下，军队之中年过半白之人也可卸甲归田。那一年，我已七十，得了这个消息心中欣喜万分。可这途中却辗转十年才回到家乡。望着眼前熟悉又陌生的村落，多年前的一幕幕在脑海中闪现，我竟不知所措。

进入到村子中，我拦住了一个人，当得知那一片长满野草的孤坟中埋葬着我的双亲时，我的胸口仿佛要炸开一样。我们一家人生活的房子上，一只野鸡飞落，院子中已长满了野菜、野谷。我摘了菜，煮了谷，正想出门叫家人回来吃饭，却看见了那一片孤坟，我的眼泪再次滑落。

转眼间，初一生活过去了，但它却永远地刻在我心中，成为我记忆中

最完美的一页。

进入初中，我步入了紧张的学习生活中。一位位和蔼可亲的教师把一股股学习的欲望流入我的心田中，在我的心之峡谷里，栽上了一棵棵热爱学习的树。初一的学习生活虽很苦，也很累，但在这个温暖的大团体中，却充满了欢笑与欢乐。所以，我心中很甜，精神也很好，所以学习也就变为了一件乐事。我从心底里感觉这是在许多教师的带领下的一个可爱的团体，所以，我的学习也就不觉得苦了。

在初一生活中里，我常常为繁重功课而压得喘可是气来，但进入初一来，还是带给了我无限的“甜”。最令我难忘的是那次开演讲比赛。由于我是第一次参加比赛，所以心里感到很紧张，两条腿不由自主地发抖。也就是在那次，我更感到了教师的关爱、团体的温暖。同学们一声声的热烈的“加油”，教师们一个个鼓励的眼神，使我不再感到害怕，而只感到一股股暖流正涌入我心灵的最深处。我感觉我与这个团体靠得更近了，与同学靠得更近了……于是，我丢掉胆怯的心理，鼓起勇气，流利地演讲起来。最终，我也为这个团体带来了一个小小的荣誉——我的演讲获得了一等奖，但我明白这只是为团体带来的一点点回报而已，我还要为团体做更大的回报!

这些只是完美的初一生活的一点插曲，这个团体给我带来了无穷的欢乐，使我的生活变得更加充实，动人，愉快……

我的初一生活能够说是有苦有甜：繁重的功课、演讲的成功…都在我的记忆中留下深刻的印象，令我永生难忘。

I began school at seven in accordance with the law in a remote village. Short of funds, the school had only a few classrooms, all poorly constructed.  to say, our teachers were few, too. As a pupil I preferred the playground to the classroom and often liked to play tricks on girls, as by hiding insects in their desk drawers. On one occasion, I even grimaced behind the back of our teacher, caing the whole class to break into laughter; however, instead of becoming angry, he merely asked why we were laughing and wondered whether there was anything wrong with him. On ather occasion, I punctured the tires of a  parked inside the school by ing something sharppointed, leaving the principal frightened and bewildered after he had ticed that. Such were the happy moments in my life at that school. The happiest moment, to me and to all of my schoolmates, however, was the one when the school was letting out at the last bell of the day and we were rhing home as if we would never be back. Once, on our way home, a bunch of naughty students found a crickets hole and exerted themselves to inject water into it with loud cheers. The girls were  less frantic than the boys when they were having a good time at such games as jump-rope, hopscotch and battledore and shuttlecock.

Everyone has their own parents, you are not in the heart often think the future will take care of filial piety, they would not let them suffer later after you do this to parents as well, but have you ever thought, your parents how much later? Too many uncertainties about the future is not it, if you really love your parents, then you use what you have more time now to spend time with them now, whether or not your ability, do your best strength to love them not waiting for the day after, because someday will not necessarily make sense, does not it?

梦想这两个字是每个人都熟悉的，其中也包括我。今天，我就给你们讲一下我为梦想做出的变化。

曾经，我是班里最不起眼的，因为我经常惹老师生气，使我的名字经常出现在批评栏上，让那些欺负我的人又多了些勇气。

我晚上经常看手机看到半夜，早上睁不开眼，还没睡够，闹铃已经“丁零零”响了很多声。但我还是想睡觉不想起。直接导致天天被老师批评。

所以，我决定要改变自己，让那些欺负我的人看得起我。现在，只要闹铃一响，我就马上起床。每天起床我都会对自己说一声“加油，你是最棒的”我就会精神百倍。我去学校的时候不急不慌，想到以前，我去学校，在家里没有收拾好自己的铅笔盒时，而回去拿时，那狼狈不堪的样子，我笑了，因为我变了。

以前在学校里，我总是拖班级的后腿，现在已经在班里名列前茅了。每次考试时，我总是要求自己零失误。想想过去一提到成绩恨不得钻地缝的我，我不禁挺了挺腰，我笑了。

梦想告诉我：人生并不是顺顺利利的，充满起伏的人生，才会充满激情，惊喜与美好。

让梦想把我们的生活变得更美好。

20xx年告别了无忧无虑的小学时代，我进入到太原师院附中开始了我的中学时代。小学生活和中学生活真是有着本质的区别，让我来介绍一下吧！

小学的课堂是以老师为主，老师在课堂上教什么，我们就被动的学什么，几乎不需要我们自己去动脑筋，老师已经帮我们都总结好了，我们只需要记住背会就基本可以考到很好的成绩，不需要想太多、自己学习太多。其余的时间就可以尽情玩耍了，每天无忧无虑的十分的快乐，但是知识面相对比较狭窄，知识的积累也嫌贵欠缺。

现在，中学的生活却完全不同，老师的教学方法与小学时截然不同。上课时，老师只是把我们领进门，而剩下的知识让我们自己琢磨，这样学到的东西才会更加记忆深刻。学习什么科目也不像小学那样老师教一样自己就学一样，有许多东西需要自己自学，以增加自己的知识量，这样才能更好的增进学习。

中学的生活也更加的多姿多彩，校园生活更加丰富。我们每周二都有一个主题班会，常常还有以小组为单位的集体活动。有一次老师让每个小组做一道菜。作为小组长的我责无旁贷的邀请了小组全体同学来我家一同完成这次体验。我们准备了一道砂锅烩菜，我组织大家销土豆的、洗白菜的、切豆腐的，忙而不乱各司其职共同完成了这道复杂的菜肴，共同品尝时，大家都为共同完成的菜肴赞不绝口。这次的实践活动，不但锻炼了我的统筹协调能力同时也增加了我们小组的凝聚力，这是课堂上根本无法学到的。

参观博物馆也是我们丰富的课外生活的一部分。在太原科技馆的参观一直让我无法忘怀，这里有各种各样的大、小实验，每个实验里都蕴含着丰富的知识，同时也验证着我们课本上所学知识的正确性，这样的体验使我们更容易掌握课本知识，更容易理解更容易记忆。对学习课本知识起到了很好的辅助作用！

虽然中学的学习确实比小学要辛苦许多，经常作业要到晚上11、12点才能完成，但每次学会掌握甚至是完成一道难题后的成就感却让我每每忘记了疲劳，何况还有丰富多彩的课外生活，让我留恋的集体生活！

这样的中学生活我不忍让时光虚度，每天都抓紧每分每秒努力的学习，努力的去体验，努力的增加自己的知识量，这样才能对得起我的青春，才能我的青春无悔！

当那小小的纸船儿飘入河流的时候，我将的希望寄这美丽的小舟上，那上面承载着我对家乡的思念，对亲人的思念，更的对母亲的思念。

——题记

母亲又来看我了！

在我的小屋里，我吃着母亲给我亲手煮的饭，一边吃一边倾听着从前听的不耐烦的话：“孩子，你要好好学习，学习才是你今后的出路……”听着听着，我发觉，母亲头上的银丝多得数不清；额头上的皱纹又多了几条，并且更深了。她用那双布满老茧的手抚摸着我的头，我突然觉得好心痛——母亲才三十多岁，看起来却是那么的苍老。看着母亲额头上的皱纹，我感觉好象是有人在拿着刀深深的刻在了我的心上，让我好疼，好疼……看着这般模样的母亲，我好心疼，说：“妈，您在家里做事别太累了。”母亲却说：“没事儿，只要你能好好读书……”一阵心酸涌上我的心头，即将说的话也被哽咽在了喉咙里，眼泪不争气地往外涌……

我突然想到圣诞将至，便对母亲说：“妈，给我一毛钱。”母亲以为我差钱用，便毫不犹豫的给了我十元钱。我急忙推：“您只给我一毛钱就可以了。”母亲这又才给我一毛钱。我边接钱，一边说：“我毛钱折成一只纸船，写上对您的祝福，在平安夜那天放出去。”母亲看着我，满眼的感动。

平安夜，终于来临了。那晚，我提着一大包的纸船（也包括母亲的那只）来到河边，点燃了蜡烛。将那一只只纸船放到河里去了，将我对每个人的祝福放出去了。站在岸边，看着那飘走的纸船，我再一次流泪了。这次流的却伤心的泪水，而是充满了希望与感动的泪水，它们的流着，流着……

Nowadays, environmental pollution is very common. Resource waste is also

seen everywhere. In order to protect the environment, to protect our earth, we

need to live a low-carbon life. I usually go to school on foot, sometimes by

bike. If I need to go to the other city, I will choose the public transportation

and not ask my parents drive me there. If I am the last one to leave classroom

or home, I will make sure all the lights are off. I always will save the water

after washing clothes. And then use it to wash the toilet. Our earth is in our

own hands.

人生中，或阳光明媚，或暴雨狂风，但我们依旧在坎坷中不断成长，转眼间，新的生活——初中生活来临了。

“一二三四！”初中生活的开端便是军训，我们一个个以大汗淋漓的身姿站在艳阳下，喊着口号，走着方阵。下课铃声响起，教官意犹未尽地走开了，我心中早已是小鹿狂蹦，水！我要喝水！我连忙冲了过去，拿起了我的水瓶，一看，唉！这下可坏了！没有水可怎么办呢！“喝我的吧”，一个清脆的女声从身边响起，她好像看透了我的心事，我对她并不熟悉，但我实在太渴了，拿起水杯，说了声“谢谢”，虽并未表现出十分感激，但心中却已是万丈波澜，友爱让我的初中生活充溢了温情。

上了一节接一节的课，脑子里早已被各种学科的内容搅得一团浆糊。这是下午的第三节课了，是最后一节需要听讲的课了。“这节我们做一张卷子。”听到做卷子，我的心中早已有了打算——快点做完后，好偷偷休息一会儿，当卷子到手时，我马上开始扫描，完毕之后，马上开起了小差，一会儿，英语老师说：“做完的，可以先让我判。”我把卷子交上去，接着开小差，“曹梦琪，”老师叫到了我的名字，我马上惊醒，走到老师身边，她低声说：“你看，又没看题，这个应该变复数，前面不是有There are了吗？我不要你快，你得做对呀，下次不许再犯这样简单的错误了。”我灰溜溜地走回座位，心中暖暖的，师爱让我的初中生活倍感温暖。

手中拿着语文试卷，我心中早已是大雨滂沱。67.5分，这是初中生活以来的第一次大型考试——十月份月考，这次月考让我的内心备受打击，心中不断问自己：从前90分以上的分数去哪儿了？心中越想越难过，一个声音从身后响起：“难过了，没事儿的，一次没考好不能说明什么？有难过的时间还不如解几道题！”我心中茅塞顿开，仿佛打开了心灵的窗，让我有了再战的勇气和力量，鼓励让我有了勇气，让我的初中生活温情四溢。

我的初中生活丰富多彩且富有温情，以后的生活不管有何挫折，我都会在友情，师生情和他人的鼓励中坚定前行。

估计除了学生时代，社会上的大多数人在追风逐日的生活中早已将诗词抛于天外。大人们啊，除了耳熟能详的“举头望明月”，除了“处处闻啼鸟”，你们还记得什么?你们深陷于“现实”，殊不知已脱离生活的意义;你们念着“不充实”，因为你们忘记了本能的如何去活。罢了。既然，曾经的古韵成为已去的背影，那么，不妨推敲一下生活的诗意。

推敲生活的诗意，就要多观察生活。

生活实在是巧夺天工。无论是江南小镇的秀丽多姿，北国风光的万里雪飘还是西北的广袤大漠。长河落日。这每一段枇杷魅影，每一处银波浩淼，每一片嶙峋峥嵘，都充满诗意的极致，无与伦比的意境，使人情思遄飞。诗意就像生活稀缺的风花雪月里的一杯美酒，使人心醉。

诗人造就了诗，生活造就了诗意。或许，诗人笔下文字的推敲，骨子里实在是对生活的推敲。我常羡慕古人，简单淳朴;我常笑今人，我们自诩比古人的IQ高出百倍，可当问你“生活是什么?”你茫然了。倒不如上溯千年的古人用一首古诗回答来的恰当。

诗，并非古人的专项。当你骑车行进在绿荫下;当你抬头看到红绿灯光变换的一霎那;当你发现摩天大楼缝隙间露出一缕调皮的阳光;当……这时你微微一笑，这是诗意，当别人一转头看到你的微笑时，又是诗意……

在忙碌中，适当放松一下。仔细推敲生活的细微之处，诗意就在其中。

Howtime flies! It has been three years since I came to the school. My school isbeautiful and there are many beautiful flowers and trees. The teachers are sokind though there is always too much homework.

时间过得真快！我来到这个学校已经三年了。我的学校很美，有很多美丽的花和树。虽然老师总是布置很多的作业，但他们还是很好的。我的同学也都很友好。我们总是互相帮助。我从中学到了很多东西，交了很多朋友。我喜欢我的学校生活。但是，我数学学得不好。我会努力在暑假期间好好学数学的。现在我要跟我的老师和同学们说再见了。我会想念我的学校生活的。

[初中英语作文：我的学校生活

I have a wide range of interests and enjoy doing many things during my free

time.

I am fond of reading. I often read after class. My classmates like watching

TV while I prefer to read. I read various kinds of books and newspapers that

they afford me stories and news. The book I like most isThe House on the Mango

Street. I am also a music lover. Pop music is my favorite. I often listen to the

music programs on radio and I also have an MP3 downloading all my favorite

songs. In addition, swimming and badminton are my favorites, too. They help me

build a healthy body.

In short, I enjoy my life in school very much. Reading books, listening to

music and doing sports are very helpful to my health and my studies.

The news that Mr Cai had passed away was known, and I fell into great

sorrow. The sound of the rain knocking on the window was so mournful that it

deepened my distress.

My memory brought me back to the class when I saw him for the last

time.

That evening it was raining, too. We started our lesson as usual at a

quarter past six. I sat in the first row, and I saw Mr Cai press his stomach

with a hand from time to time, but I didn’t know the reason then. The two hours

passed quickly. When the lesson came to an end,Mr Cai told us that he had

possibly developed a stomach cancer, and would go to Beijing to see a doctor. If

there was nothing serious, he would continue to teach us after he came back. He

was very calm and his voice was steady. He still gave us some homework. He said

that he would mark the papers as soon as he came back.

Then I started to wait for his return. I had not thought that I would not

see him any more. The cancer had taken his life, even though he was still

young.

Mr Cai’s words are still ringing in my ears,“I hope you will be one of the

best students.” I think I should work hard at English and live up to his

expectation .

I have lost a good teacher. Tears will dry up in time, but the memory will

stay for ever.

暑假里，很多人都会选择外出旅游，或参加各种兴趣班、补习班，而我却选择了“打暑假工”，我的老板就是我亲爱的妈妈，我的工作就是帮妈妈做家务。

有人可能会说，做家务就是做家务，干吗还叫打工呢?因为妈妈为了鼓励我这“懒虫”做家务，决定实行奖励制，在我每干完件家务，她就会发给份“工资”。

我高兴极了，说干就干。先从我最拿手的，且已有两年“工龄”的洗碗工作开始吧。说起洗碗，听似简单，但要真正把这工作做好还真不简单哩。记得刚刚洗碗那会儿，我不是摔坏了碗盘，就是那边边角角洗不干净。经过这段时间的磨练，我的洗碗功夫可是大有长进。我会先把碗碟轻轻放进洗碗盆里，然后拿起抹布，再挤几滴洗洁精，左手拿碗，右手拿抹布，边洗边转。瞧，盆里出现了团团的泡泡，真漂亮!一个、两个、三个……我又拿起了筷子，用力搓了搓，“卡啦、卡啦”，真像段美妙的快板。最后，我再用清水把碗筷冲洗干净。妈妈看着满头大汗的我，总会逗乐地说：“怎么样，打工的滋味如何?”我说：“确实有点累，但是能帮妈妈做点家务，又有‘工资’拿，累点也值!”

最费力气的是拖地，我用桶装满水，把拖把放在桶里洗洗，提出拧干，用力在地板上擦……

最轻松的是晾衣服，我打开洗衣机，拿起件衣服甩直，用衣架把衣服“穿”好，再用衣叉挂上就完成了。

通过这段时间辛勤的劳动，我终于领到了我的工资，工资虽然不多，但我想把它存起来，做更有意义的事情。在给妈妈“打工”的这段日子，我不仅从妈妈身上学到了很多课本中学不到的东西，同时，也体会到了妈妈平时的辛苦。这个暑假真有意义，虽然累，但很快乐。

Most people miss their grade school days and think they are the happiest time of their life, but whenever I recall them I cannot help feeling a little sad. In my young days I disliked any dismal atmosphere and could not bear the feeling of loneliness, yet the fact was that I often lived in a dismal home and frequently had the bitter taste of lonesomeness. I was not cheerful even in the company of my classmates at the grade school I attended. When I was alone at home the dismal atmosphere often filled me with fear even though thought here went to work in the morning but always came later than I did. For a young person like me t was too bad. Not until I was about sixteen years old had I outgrown t feeling of fear. Then there was that nagging feeling of loneliness either at home of at school. My father changed his job several times and with each change of his job we had to move and I had to attend a different grade school. Before I finished my elementary education I had attended three grade schools and thus it was difficult for me to cultivate enduring friendships. The feeling of being friendless was a constant source of pain to me. Those unhappy grade school days have of course long been over. I still have an abhorrence for any dismal atmosphere and lonesomeness, but hardened by experience I now find them less disturbing than they were.
