“Second grade is starting on Wednesday. They assign homework in second grade, so I’m a little worried about that. Also the teachers don’t help you as much. They might see that you are spelling a word wrong, and they’ll let you spell it wrong without even telling you. They’re not being mean. They just want to push you. Not actually push you. But push you to spell better. And I’m pretty sure we’re going to be learning about Native Americans. Because I walked by a second grade class last year and everyone was on the floor making Native American stuff out of clay.”

This Human of New York is my favorite. This speaks volumes to me, because I so much can relate to this little boy, in my past. I was so thrilled to go to the 2nd Grade, and this is where I met my favorite teacher. I’ve always found excitement in spelling, and I love that he is so enthralled in the fact that 2nd grade is such a huge deal. I honestly do think it is a big step, an introduction to new excitement, and a realization that growing up comes with hardships. Meaning, that individuals and superiors will not always help you out. You’re expected to fix issues on your own.
