At the beginning of the school, I was told that I may get adopted. I laughed a little.

Grade 1/Kindergarden
Last day of kindergarden, we all went outside to the open filed and took a pictures with the teachers.
I was only in first grade for a week, and then got send back to kindergarden because my teacher said that I wasn't ready to move on.
Grade 2
I was working on memorizing the multiplication table, but keep getting it wrong. My math teacher came and comforted me.
I scored a 99 on the Chinese and a 89 on the math test at the end of the school year. My Chinese teacher called me up so everyone can clap for me.
Grade 3
Fear
A police brought a baby to the orphanage and the workers just left the baby in a separate room. the other boy about my age and I went to the room to see the new baby. Instead we saw blood and the baby wasn't moving either. we scaremed and run. Later I find out that the mom got into a caraccident. no idea what happened to the baby.
Which could explain why I don't like to be alone at night. other similar experiences like this one also happened before Kindergartens, which has left a deep mark in me.
I moved from to a new orphanage location
Possible Adoption
Declarative - Episodic
There was a family considering about adopting me. They only have a son, and they would like another child so their son wouldn't feel lonely.
I got to stay at their house for the weekend, but I never met the couple who was going to be my parents.
As a result, They decided not to adopt me.
School
I had to walk by myself to school on the third day of school, I was nervous because I don't know if I remembered all the turns I was supposed to make. Luckily I made it!
