A3

I have had many great years throughout my career as an Alden Bulldog.  My favorite year in Alden Schools is fourth grade.  My teacher was Mr. Perry.  He always made the classroom atmosphere enjoyable and easy to learn in.  I made some great friends that year, like Matt Shields for example.  It seemed like we always went out on the playground.  The playground was the place to be back in the day.  Matt Shields and I would always play football with a bunch of kids from our class.  It was always him and I versus at least six other kids.  I swear, we did not lose one game.  I was the quarterback and Shields was the wide receiver.  I had at least eighty connections with Matty in the end zone throughout the course of fourth grade.  I am pretty sure that is a single season record for the Alden Intermediate School playground league.  We had a stellar zone defensive scheme that would work every game.  They could not seem to find a way past our defense.  The dominance carried over into Physical Education class.  If Matt and I were ever on the same team for a sport in physical education class, you need to watch out.  Mr. Perry was a great teacher.  He would always interact with his students and do some interesting activities.  I would always laugh really hard in his class, mainly because he was a funny guy.  I learned so much in his class.  I learned some great life skills as well, like to give everyone respect and you will get respect in return.  Also, that year I was obsessed Brett Favre and the GreenBay Packers.  I would frequently wear my Brett Favre jersey, whether it was during Physical Education class or just my regular class.  Mr. Perry liked the Giants and we would always talk about which team was better, but clearly the Packers are the best team ever.  Fourth Grade had many ups and very few downs.  That is why it was my favorite year attending Alden Central Schools.
