I remember when I was in the Elangarden classroom [at preschool] and it was hard to figure out the classroom and the teachers. I&#8217;m kind of a little sad to move to a new school but it might be fun to move to a different school and make new friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-What will you miss most about preschool?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll miss Mira and Erica and Emmanuel and some other friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Do you think you&#8217;ll make new friends at the new school?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, except it&#8217;s kind of\u00c2\u00a0hard because I don&#8217;t remember how you make friends. Except I&#8217;ll try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-How do you think Avery will do at preschool without you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little sad on her first day. It&#8217;s going to take her practice to be on her own. Other than that I think she&#8217;s going to be okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-What do you think you&#8217;ll learn in kindergarten?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To read. And I&#8217;m probably going to learn more about space. I might learn about science because I have a science teacher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-When you&#8217;re done at this school you&#8217;ll be 14. What do you think you&#8217;ll be like at the age?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t mind moving to a different school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-You&#8217;ll still be a kid at that age. What&#8217;s the best thing about being a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That I get to have a wonderful mom and dad.*<\/p>\n<p><strong>-What&#8217;s the hardest thing about being a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t learn things that easy. And it&#8217;s hard to not do bad stuff to my sister &#8211; even though I don&#8217;t do that too much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-At what age do you think you&#8217;ll be a grown-up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>24.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-What do you want to be when you&#8217;re a grown-up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I want to be a teacher, I want to be a mom, and I want to be a doctor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-What do think\u00c2\u00a0will be the best thing\u00c2\u00a0about being a\u00c2\u00a0grown-up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be living by myself.
