Still Fifth Grade

When I look back on 5th Grade, today, there were some other things I remember. 
One of the things I remember was that I had a teacher who was a WWII vet, and was a Marine. He was a really nice man, and he would talk to us about the war. It got me interested in that time period, also, and so, I would read "The Diary of Anne Frank", we watched the Holocaust, (with Merryl Streep) and I would read many WWII history books. I felt it was important to for me to read them, but, those books and movie gave me night terrors. But, it didn't stop me either. I wanted to know the sufferage so that I would never have to feel so much hate towards others. It was so hard for me to read the books and watch the movie, but I had this desire to want to to learn more. I don't know what happened, but, my desire for reading those things, was replaced with a desire to want to learn about other things too. So, I shifted to reading about the Middle East, and Central Asia. 
I was still being bullied at school, but I did have a couple of friends. We quite enjoyed our time together. I was happy that I made friends. I also went to my school in the morning with my cello, and I loved playing. I think it helpepd me relax, and I didn't have a care in the world when I played. It made me feel happy to play. 
One day we had a concert. I was so scared, it was my first time performing for the entire school, and there were a couple of days, we were so good, my teacher had us go from schhol to school to play for them, too. It was nerve wracking for me. My mom went to many of them, and everytime she said she could hear me and I was talented. I loved that my mom loved to hear me play the cello. Today it is still my favorite instrument.
