y name? Perel. I’m almost four. My birthday’s in December… Well, I’m not actually in school yet.  My mother said I’m going to start Pre-1A next year, after I turn four.  Every morning I ask my mother, “Am I four yet?” She says, “Not yet, but soon.”  I wonder… when is “soon”? I can’t wait!

Of course, I don’t like school! Nobody does! Fourth grade is super yucky!  But school’s gonna be over in two weeks, four days, seven hours, 22 minutes, and a gazillion seconds. Or something like that.  I’m crossing off the days on the calendar until I’m FREE!! I can’t wait!!

I finally convinced my parents that I’m not too young to go to sleepaway camp. They think I’m a baby (snort).  My best friend is going too! I’m counting the days till I leave to camp! I can’t wait!
