1. Then and Now A story by: Matthew

2. I use to be amazingly small, but now I am much larger.

3. I use to take my blanket everywhere I went, but now I take my ball glove.

4. I seem to be quiet, but I am really trying to fool you.

5. I am good at baseball, but I am not so good at roller skating.

6. I like to be with my family, but I don’t like saying goodbye to my brother and sister when they go back to college.

7. I smile at babies, but frown at potato pockets.

8. I use to be a kindergartener, but now I am in third grade.

9. Today I am glad that I am me.
