I felt extremely proud of myself when I did really well in a championship baseball game. On the all-star team 3 or 4 years ago we made it to the championship where I hit 4 homeruns in that one game. I also hit a game-winner. It was the last inning and it was tied 18 to 18 with a man on 2nd and 3rd. the count was 2-2 and I hit a line drive to left center which knocked in the winning runs. I got the game ball which made me happy and everyone was giving me praise. I felt extremely proud of myself.

Something I did that made me feel proud of myself was 5th grade in December. I got cellulitis and was in the hospital for 3 or 4 days. I couldn’t get up or really do anything at the time. My mom was up nights and days to make sure nothing happened, while my dad was taking care of my sisters at home. I tried to walk but I couldn’t. It was hard for me to do things on my own. My mom believed in me that I could do it until I got to the point where I believed in myself too. I got up one morning and tried my best to walk. I felt really proud of myself because I had given up, but my family believed I could do it.

One thing I’m proud about that I did is help my papaw all the time because he is too old to do a lot of stuff. So when it’s really cold he can’t do a lot anyway. We also think he has a cold or the flu because it’s been cold. He doesn’t put a jacket on when he goes outside or when we go somewhere.

Something good I have done is when my nana had fallen and she just got home from chemo and radiation therapy. So my papaw was 68 and couldn’t walk by himself. So I ran to my nana and picked her up. My papaw had back surgery the month before this. He could not pick her up and I had to help my nana up and take her inside. That is something I felt proud about.

One thing I did that I was really proud of is when I made the highest average of my grade last year. When I was in sixth grade I made all A’s on my report card, but the really amazing thing that happened was me getting the highest average for my grade. That means that once all my grades were averaged together, mine was the highest. I was so happy and excited last year and really hope I can do it again this year.

Something I felt really proud about is getting an A on my first math test in 7th grade. Why I thought it was good is because it was my first math test in that class. Also I was really proud to make honor roll the first nine weeks this year.

I’m proud of rescuing my pig, Rootie. He didn’t really have a good home. He was stuck in a hot trailer park and he was abused badly. But when I told my parents about him they felt bad. My mom wanted a pig for a while and once she saw Rootie she fell in love with him! So we went to go pick him up. He wasn’t like any other pig where if you went to pick it up it screams. Rootie loves being held, fed, and having a good home.

A time when I felt really proud of myself was when I got honor roll in 5th grade. My parents were pleased with my accomplishments. I got honor roll at the end of the year and I didn’t know what to think when my parents had a huge grin on their faces. It was one of the happiest days of my life.

One time I felt really proud of something I did was when I passed fifth grade and went into middle school without failing a grade.

A time when I felt really proud of something I did is when I learned my first full song in ASL. The reason I was so proud is because ASL learning can take a lot of time and I enjoy it a lot!
Sarah Trivett, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor

Something that I did that made me feel proud of myself is standing up for myself. When I got called a name I stood up for myself and when I did, other people stood up for me and with me. The people doing it stopped after I asked them to a few times.

A time I was proud of myself was when I got principal’s honor roll. I never in a million years would have thought I would get all A’s but I did. That was a very proud moment for me.
Sofia Rosberg, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor

I would say the time I felt good about myself was when I got all A’s. I was in 3rd grade. I had been making good grades, but when report cards came out I had A’s and B’s. But I kept working hard throughout the year. Then the hard work paid off. I had finally made all A’s. I was really happy and I also got $20. In the end it all paid off.
Trent Gillum, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor

One thing I felt really proud of was when I started racing dirt bikes. My first race I won second place. That day my brother Tyler, my mamaw and papaw traveled to the track at 7:30 in the morning. It’s just second nature when you’re used to seeing dirt bikes at a young age. It’s just a blessing to get outside and enjoy nature. This is what I feel proud about.
Trevor Chapman, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor

The time when I really felt proud of something I did was when I completed Resident Evil Revelations. The reason why is that game is so hard to beat. I was stuck on the last boss, Jack Norman when he injected himself with the virus. But a lot of the game is hard to beat. A lot of it is hard to do. Even the map is so difficult to follow with it being on a ship. One of the main bosses is named Scagdead with an instant kill chainsaw arm. That’s why I’m proud of beating this game.
