Before I came to Serra Catholic I went to Meryhill in Coto de Caza that is were I started my formal education. The school I went to ended at third grade and I needed a school to go to. Since my brother had been accepted to Serra , It is easier for siblings to get in. After I learned that I was excepted to Serra I was nervous but excited with all the thoughts of memories I would receive from Serra Catholic School.
I started my Serra career in the
fourth grade. My teacher was
Mrs. Povey . The people that helped me feel welcome were
Maura M and Emily K. My best friend was Emily R whom I had met at tennis
camp that summer when we realized we were going to the same school and that we
had the same teacher. This excited Emily and I and we were ready to enjoy our
year at Serra. In fourth grade we went on the pilgrim and learned how
sailors lived. Also we learned about the missions and planets .We went on
a field trip to Heritage Hill. In the
middle of the year I was cast as the role as Annie in the play "Annie" and I
had so much fun. For the mission project we made missions and for the
planet we made a solar system. Those two projects were fun. We also Made
internet
Pioneer projects. My
teacher made learning fun. She used Looney Tunes playing cards to engage us in
questions. She also would make projects fun by adding interesting
activities to them.
In fifth grade I had Mrs.
Peale in her class she used activities to engage us in the material. Also she
loved to free write she thought that free writing was a way to express and show
your creativity. In fifth grade we did Walk through America and I was a
sailor. We also had a
Presidential Elections . Along with free writing we learned about the 50 states we
were each assigned a state and my state was Wyoming. Once we had a state we
had to create a poster board and then a report for out state. After the
hard work was done it was time for fun we had a taste of America night were we
all made a food item from out state and served it for others to enjoy. Also we
made a
Hero project and then we did the living stations of the cross .
In fifth grade I played slightly soiled in "Peter Pan". We took field trips
to the Aquarium of the Pacific and to the Santa Margarita water district.
After fifth we had sixth
grade and in six I had
Mrs.Fiore. In Mrs. Fiore's class we learned that
math is fun and her love for the state of Pennsylvania and there football team.
Also in sixth grade we met
Mrs.Tilton and learned the true love of religion.
She showed us how important out faith is to us. After learning all this my
favorite was
Sixth grade Science camp
which was a blast. We went up to a
location called mile high pines and learned the beauty of nature. Up at
science camp we also bonded with our fellow students that strengthened our
relationships. In sixth grade tech we made our
Natural Wonders project.
In 7th grade I met a
teacher named
Mrs. Matsukane.
After meeting her we met her love of language. Mrs. Matsukane taught
language to us with so much love and compassion but she wasn't all serious she
had many funny jokes that made you smile if you were in a bad mood. That
year we had our first dances both of our dances were so much fun and it brought
the students in a bond. That year we also had a retreat. That year we read
the Bronze Bow and the Hobbit. Both books opened a world of imagination
for me. At the end of the year we went to Medieval Times and had a blast.
The tech projects that year were cells and
Animal project .
This year I am in the Eighth
grade. I am looking forward to all the memories from my fellow students to
start unwinding. Also I have
Mrs. Palmiotto this year and I am happy to be
taught by an interesting teacher that engages every one with activities and
games. Which makes learning fun. On the week of September 29 we are going
to leadership camp which will bring us together once again.

Three school subjects related to my career interests and why are:
1. Social Studies, that way I can know how to find places around the world and be educated with the facts of our history.
2. Speech and Debate, for the reason that you need to stand up and fight for your
cause.
3. Homeroom , this way you can observe how the teacher engages the class in the morning. Also how she makes the class feel comfortable in a time where were tired.
What I remember most was that Serra Catholic was different from any other school I had been to before. Including the fact that Serra cares about every single student and treats them with care.
This year I have learned:
Home life
My father is a lawyer at Gibson Dunn and Crutcher. Who is married to my stepmother Mary palmer who also works at G D and C. Then there is my mother Julie Uzzi who is a lawyer in her own firm called Palafox law. She is a true entrepreneur. Now not all my family is lawyers for instance my step dad he is in pharmaceuticals. My brother and sister Max palmer and Caitlyn Uzzi also go to Serra.
