Erick's Autobiography Paper

Hi my name is Erick Nyheem Bennett i was born on April 14,1993. Born to Nicole cower and Eric Bennett .Sr. My parents weren't married but they loved each other very much even though it was a very far relationship because my father wasn't really around much he spent a lot of time back and forth in jail so i never really knew a lot about my dad growing up. My mother and me lived with my grandparents in mt. airy so life was pretty good and calm. When i was about 2 i stated pre-school at Grace temple until i was about 3 then i went to Mckineys until i was 5. During that moment in my life something very sad happen my Mother passed away from Sickle cell when i was 5 years old i miss very much as i think about it was a very sad day for my family and for the most part my grandparents were hurt the most because it's hard for a parents to see their child pass away before them.

But as the years went by i had started to live with my aunt and uncle who were just getting married in September with their 5 children Aja,Jenae,Khamaree,Keyanna,Niara and to add me they now had 6. I didn't what to leave my granparents but because my grandfather had to work a lot and my grandmother working at temple hospital all day their would be no one to watch me so i moved with my aunt and uncle in their small 4 bed room house in south Philadelphia. As i lived in south Philly i attended Meredith public school with my sister Keyanna for the time i was there which was for 1st and 2nd grade i wasn't always a good student i really never did my work in class. In mostly all of my classes i passed barely i would always talk in class and wouldn't stay in my seat and i was only like 6 years old.

As many years went by everybody was growing up in my family and it was time to get a new house so we moved to a nice little neighborhood called East Oak Lane were all the house were nice and big and also lots of yard space for our dogs. When the school year started i went to the neighborhod school which was right around the coner from our house. So i didn't have to walk far to get to school and my god-brother who was in my same class would be there so i wouldn't be alone. As the school year began i think i did very well by trying to stay on point until i started hanginng out with some of the wrong people and started getting in trouble. In the 3rd grade at Ellwood elementary school i had this one teacher named Mr.Wallace who was always on mycase about doing the right thing in class and getting all my work done then i could play later.

But when i left to go to 4th grade i was suprise that i had the same teacher again so i couldn't really act a fool in his class because he already knew what i was about and kept in touch with my aunt to give her updates on how i was doing in class. But when i went to the 5th grade i meet a teacher that was smart and cared about the students in his class his name was Mr. Lynskie and i took advantage of him because i thought he was justone of those teacher who you could just say and do anything in his class but i was wrong because as soon as i had did something he would suspend me because he didn't put up with any foolish stuff.

As i was started the six grade it would be my last year at Ellwood then we would graduate but lucky me because i didn't want to do any work and i wanted to talk back to teachers i didn't get to graduate with my fellow class mates because i wanted to be the class clown and i wanted to be the cool person in class. So as i thought over the summer what i needed to do to get my self ready for 7th and 8th grade which would be the most important school years of my life to determine what high school i would go to. So as i flew through the 7th grade i found out that 8th grade wounld much hard as we would have to take state exams to see if we were ready for high school but the reason i told myself i had to improve my self was because of the 8th grade graduation that was coming up and i had to be in it so i could show my family that i wanted to be something when i grew up and not a bum on the streets.

And finally with all my hard work through the school year i graduated with all of my family there and it felt so good to finally accomplish something in my life that i work very hard for.And now i am attending New Media Technology Charter School which is alot of fun because it is a technology based school and that is the type of stuff i like. Goals that i would like to persue is to become a Chef because i really like to cook dinner for my family also i like to experiment different things. And thats my Autobiography.
