At the end of 4th grade while a few of us were at the pool during open swim I blew out my ear drums. I ended up missing some school due to it.

4th Grade
4th Grade was one of my favorite years, I had the same teacher as my sisters did. He was one of the best. Some of the memories in that class such as making a pickle glow, potato clock.

My dad got home from work later that day and was super excited one I thought myself and two he didn't have to run up and down the street teaching me. -
