I remember being extremely hyperactive! That was grade 3. I was diagnosed with ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. I had a bunch of tests done and it was not very enjoyable. I got pissed off at anyone and in return they would get pissed off at me too. Everyone was angry until I started doing a dietary thing called Feingold where I couldn't eat anything with milk, bread or artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. I slowly got milk and bread back and they weren't problematic. We figured out it was all the artificials that were causing it all. So in the end I got happier in school but I still thought of it as a prison.
First of al, congratulations on your sons birthday! And secondly, no. I do not remember being 8 at all! It seems as if I only remember moments were a large amount of emotions we expressed in one moment. Like suddenly being really sad or exited. It also seems as if that I only remember things since I was about 9 or 10. But, from stories of my parents and remembering some moments, I know that I said some really cringe and silly things. I know that when I was a baby I was apparently "not that bad". I would definetly say that I have changed. My way of thinking has changed. Before I might have just not cared about something happening around me. And today I am much more aware of my surroundings.
I was eight a long time ago so I can't really remember what it was like and what happened. I remember that it was a fun year though. Because of my religion, we have a ritual that you have when you are eight. It is sort of like a bar mitzvah. Also, another fun thing I did was go to P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) during the summer (may have not been that year. Can't remember). It was super fun and a great family vacation. When I was eight, I remember being a good child. I was active and fun? I think I have changed by being more social and wise.
To be honest, I actually don't really remember being eight!! I remember being in my elementary school and was in the 2/3 split class because we didn't have enough grade 2's. I had the best teacher ever!! She was so kind and sweet. Every time we walked into class she would put a smile on our faces and make jokes. I also remember being in the U8 devellopement in soccer. My dad was my coach and I was so excited that I will almost be in Intercity. It was spring break and I went to Florida with my mom and my grandparents. Now that I think about it it seems to me that it's been such a long time ago. I would tell anyone to enjoy being young. Your eight and you blink and the next thing you know you are sitting in Mr. Katz's class blogging!!
I don't really remember things that happened in elementary school when I was 8 years old. I was less aggressive and less annoying. I have a lot more friends then now, but one thing that did not change was how I am always a trouble-maker when I am young and old. What changed is I got more aggressive and more annoying. # Justin, Zachary, Timathie
I really don’t remember being eight years old. I was in grade two by then and my memories are really fuzzy. Although I do remember being in grade 3, and I was principal for a DAY! I actually mean half the day. They rip you off saying you will be principal the whole day, but it’s just a lie. The day was so frustrating. When I got to school I had to go to the principal’s office, make an announcement on the intercom telling the students that I was the principal. Now I’m a very shy person and I don’t like saying things out loud in front of a bunch of people, so this really scared the poop out of me. Plus everybody already knew I was the principal before I told them on the intercom. Then I had to introduce myself to a bunch of students in all the classes. UGGHHH!!! If my day wasn’t hard enough, it got even harder. I had to go to the daycare room, because we had before and after school daycare at our school, I had to help prepare chocolate milk. YAY! Everybody got free chocolate milk that day including me, the most important person during that moment. Afterward it was recess time and I extended recess by 10 minutes because I was the principal. When recess was over, I had to write about my day and sign papers and eat cupcakes because it was someone’s birthday. After that, I felt exhausted and just wanted to go back to class and be a normal kid again. Once I got to class, all eyes were on me. (Sigh) They were pelting me with questions so I told everyone to stop and to continue listening to the teacher. I ripped off my tie and sat down at my desk and just listened for the rest of the day. Oh and the best part was that no one got homework. The only way things would have gotten better though was if I was the only one that didn’t get homework. I don’t have anyone to tag so I’m just going to tag myself. #Myself
Happy birthday Levi!!! I definitely do not remember being 8. It’s like a big blur to me. I remember some things, but I only really concentrate on the present. Although I don't remember being 8 myself, I remember my sister being 8. She was pretty crazy, still is. Sometimes when I saw her doing things, like playing outside, it would make me think of when I used to do stuff like her, and I would have “deja-vus”, but other than that, I don’t really remember much from my 8 year old self. Have I changed? Absolutely. I think I am a lot more mature, and I think of things differently than I did when I was 8.
It's been a long time since I was eight, so I can't remember what exactly it was like. I remember I was very naive and I believed a lot of things that aren't true. When I was eight, in school, I was known as Fact Guy because I read a lot of fact books like ripleys', guinness, etc. I also told the class almost all the facts I had learned. I have changed a lot. I am no longer so attached to my facts. They're still stuck in my head, but I'm not a fact fanatic anymore.
I don't remember exactly being 8 but I remember what it was like to be at a young age.i actually quite enjoyed my child hood, except for I was really high energy and all I did was played all day outside and inside and I watched tons of Disney. That seemed to keep me busy. I can't say I've changed that much except for looks, but I'm probably more mature but I still love to what Disney and I'm deffinetly still high energie and I love to play sports which has not changed. Fun fact when I was younger I used to like McDonald and now it just tastes REALLY bad ;). I wish Levi an amazing 8th birthday.
Before I begin, happy birthday Levi! When I was 8 years old, obviously I was different. For example everyone called me "cute" but look what happened to me now. Haha I'm just kidding, but like another thing was teachers actually liked me. Unlike now in high school, most teachers don't like me cause I talk a lot. Back then all I did for fun was play outside. Literally every day for at least 4 hours. I'm not even kidding, I don't think I knew what an iPhone was or a MacBook. Every day I would play with my neighbors @Sam and @Ben now look at me 5 years later I don't go outside unless it's to get in the car to drive to sports or a friends house or school.
When I was 8 lots of things happened. My little sisters were born, I moved to a new neighbourhood and I joined the local competitive swim team. I was generally a good kid. Once in a while I got in trouble and stuff, but no big deal. When I was 8 years old, I read harry potter by myself for the first time. My mom had been reading it to me since the end of kindergarten. That is also the year that I discovered Marvel and DC. What a world I had missed! I am not completely like I was when I was 8. I have swapped swimming for hockey and now I reread harry potter AND I am now addicted to Star Wars. I still love DC and Marvel and Harry Potter AAAANNNNDDD I still live in a ne house with my little sisters and brothers. I am also still a kid who rocks sports an good grades.
I don't really remember when I was eight but I was definitely more of a angel and less of a rebel. I was good in every subject but I didn't have as many friends as I do now. I loved being in elementary school in grade 2 or 3 because we barely had homework and it was just more fun. My best friend back then was Eden Dawson.@eden.daws
The only thing that I could possibly remember about being 8, is turning 8. Oh, and that I was 2 years closer to being double-digits. Other than that it's all just one big mess random memories, that I don’t even think really happened. As an 8 year old, I feel I was a lot more ambitious, loud, and shy around people I don’t know. Now I’m loud and fun with my friends, a little less ambitious, I like to keep it safe, and I’m still shy around people I don’t know, but at least know I try to make small talk with them. So yes, I would say I have changed in between those 5 years, for both, the good and the bad. #KathleenDL & #ChristinaDL
I have changed soooooo much since I was eight. I remember always running out the door so fast for recess. Playing on the little monkey bars challenging my friend who can hold on the longest but if there is on thing I don't forget. It is my best friend since I was one Daniel Iannuzzi #Daniel_Best_Friend. Me and Daniel have literally done everything thing together but the sad thing was we both went our different ways this year in high school.
Honestly, I don't remember anything that happened to me when I was eight years old. Or nine, or ten, or eleven, or seven, or six, or five, or four, or three, ir one. I remember a bit if when I was two years old. That was when I split my head open! Good times. Anyways, I could say that I've changed but then I'd be lying. I was and am shy and really random and when I want to be, annoying. Even when I don't try. I am still very annoying. I have known Samantha since kindergarten. We knew we would be BFF's from the second we set eyes on each other.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVIIII!! I remember being 8 as if it just happened yesterday. when i was eight i was in grade three and my best friend was Sydney Cook. We where literally always together and we where really tough to separate. We played piano went together park and, we made up this really weird language. It was so weird but we understood eachother. Pretty much when i was eight, everything was all jokes and me and my friends literally laughed at anything. I think when i was eight, i also met my best friend who is still my best friend to this day, samantha and, even though she doesn't go to this school, we have managed to stay in touch. I also remember having the best teacher ever in grade 3 Ms fran so over all, i think it was a great year! I acted pretty much the same but i feel like now i am able to control my weirdness to a certain extent. When i was younger, i used to take things a little more lighter but now, i can be kind of quick to get mad if people get on my nerves, but hey no ones perfect i guess that's just something i need to work on. As for how i look, i obviously look a little different but my mom said that ever since i was little i had an evil glare in my eyes like i was always up to no good....I don't now what she's talking about😂 I definately think that i should take tips from my eight year old self and make my life simpler and have a more positive attitude towards new things and people and life in general.
Back when I was eight I was legitimately stupid. When I look back on the things I said and what I believed I have to admit I was pretty dumb back then. Also I was that realistic person that hated the people who cheated at the recess games and they were like the top b***hes in the school so the other kids all were almost taught to hate me by those top b***hes. There was one friend that stuck with me the whole time,even if we did only see each other in the summer she was still such a good friend.
When I was 8 I wasn't as stressed out or crazy about grades. I was still insane when we got a project, and I was much more bossy but I don't really remember much. I believe I was in grade 3 or 4 and I know that this is hard to believe, but in grade 4 I was getting low marks such as 70s or even 60s. I always had a great friend back then but then they turned out to be a traitor. SO I will not be tagging her, I will be tagging another friend who I didn't know as much but we were still friendly. Now we are the best of friends today. #JordanEdward-Wright
I remembered loving being eight. Things were so simple and everything was new and exciting. There was no social media, no expectations, and no judgement or phones. My eight year old self was absolutely insane and was always ware an elastic band holding around five percent of my hair out or the side and always huge plastic bead jewelry. I had the closest friend group at that time it had me and three friends we swore to each other that we will never be separated. So of course we jinxed it and they all moved away year by year to Colorado, Toronto, Quebec city. The last time we were all together was age eight. We still talk constantly about everything and stay in touch with each other but i miss them. @Sofia @Anika @Anne-Marie
I remember being eight like it was yesterday! I loved being eight! I got to play a lot but also went to school. Not many tests , no exams. Nothing to worry about! It was the best. No drama, no fighting with your friends. No responsibilities, no judgments. Just being your self and not worrying about anyone judging on how you look. I had a lot of fun playing with my friends. It was totally different world back then. Now its all social media and people arguing and creating drama for no reason. Also people judging you and telling mean things.
I remember being extremely hyperactive! That was grade 3. I was diagnosed with ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. I had a bunch of tests done and it was not very enjoyable. I got pissed off at anyone and in return they would get pissed off at me too.
