My 9th grade year at Farmington Jr. High was a fun one. I did well in all my classes and as I said before, I got the Leadership/Academic award. One male and one female were able to receive this. A boy named Tim and I were the recipients this year. One day during my science class, I was called down to the office by our fill-in 'principal'. Everyone in the class has to go "OHHH!!!" and start asking what I did to get called to the principal's office. One of my friends just yelled, "Bring me back some candy." I get there and our 'principal', Mr. Giesler, asked me to give a speech at our awards night for the 9th graders. I couldn't refuse, so I ended up give a speech on dreaming big. Natalie, Tatem, my parents, and Karl came. I actually enjoyed giving a speech. (Is that weird?)

I got my plaque and looked at it when I sat down. Of course, they spelled my name wrong. No one can spell it right. It was even spelled wrong on the program for the awards night. Goodness. I still haven't gotten my plaque back yet with the right spelling. I wonder when I will get that or if I ever will get it back.
