- This cracked me up. During our family reunion Christmas in Hell, all the
- kids (that would be me, my kids are the grandkids) got out their books where
- Dad keeps momentoes of each child (intersting, we all got records of our
- college tuition, camp bills, and reciepts for braces - says something about
- Dad, now doesn't it?). I found my first grade report card and Ron and I
- cracked up. I haven't changed a bit. This was a private school so it was
- a three page report. I brought it to work to help my boss as he was in the
- middle of my review.

- What I was good at in first grade still applies:
-
- Shows creativeness and expresses her individuality.
- Shows initiative and resourcefulness.
- Shows ability in solving problems independently.
- Shows intellectual curiosity.
- Approaches her work in a receptive mood.
- Expresses her ideas clearly and effectively. "Her spontaneity and
- expressiveness add to the charm of her speech."
-
- What I was bad at in first grade still applies:
-
- Does not follow directions promptly and effeciently.
- Does not take pride in the appearance of her work.
- Does not assume responsibility for the orderly care of her possessions.
- Is not neat in personal appearance.
