I was accepted and enrolled at Artemus WardElementary School from 1989 to 1992. I started at 9. The quality of the Academic Program was good. It was a public school. We were taught mannerisms and respect and how to hold close relationships. We were into fashion and our love for our teachers. An outstanding teacher of mine had been Ms. Kowaiki. She was my first teacher I held a really close bond in love and respect for a teacher. The school was a particular size. It was warm and Cleaned. I was taught in Gym, Geography, Science, and Reading. And Also mathematics. I was selected by the Ohio Board of Education to be involved in Extracurricular Academic Achievement Activities. Subjects taught like meditation to end a dispute. Or teaching the language of Russian. And the Police Dare. Also Speech Skills, Cheerleaders Squad, and The National Book Club Young Authors. It was a fine experience before graduation at 12 in 1992.
