Five Years Ago in 6th Grade English Class
I still remember that English composition I had to write back in 6th grade, about five years ago now. It was one of the first longer essays we had to put together all on our own in English class. I remember feeling pretty nervous about it at the time!
Mrs. Robertson, my 6th grade English teacher, gave us the assignment one Monday morning. She told us we'd have two weeks to write a five or six sentence essay on a topic of our choice. That didn't sound too bad at first. But then she said it had to be at least 500 words long! That seemed like a lot for just a few sentences.
I went home that afternoon and just stared at the blank piece of lined paper for what felt lik
sort of my superpowere forever. What was I even going to write about? What topics could possibly allow me to write 500 words spread across only 5 or 6 sentences? My mind was racing trying to think of ideas.
Finally, I decided to write about my favorite sport - basketball. I loved playing basketball and watching the college teams play on TV. That seemed like something I could go on and on about for 500 words if I really tried.
My first sentence ended up being: "Basketball is an extremely exciting and competitive sport that involves two teams of five players each trying to score more points than the other team by throwing a ball through an elevated hoop or basket." Okay, not the most thrilling opening line. But it got the basic idea across!
From there, I just let the words keep flowing about all the reasons why I loved basketball so much. I wrote about how I loved the fast pace and constant motion on the court. I described the strategies teams used on offense and defense. I explained the different positions and roles that players had.
I went into detail about my favorite college basketball team and specific players who I really admired for their skills and sportsmanship. Paragraph after paragraph, I just kept writing more and more sentences all strung together into those five or six overarching sentences.
About two-thirds of the way through, I remember starting to think that 500 words wasn't actually that much after all. The words just kept pouring out of me as I gushed about my love for the sport. I ended up writing over 600 words by the time I was done!
When I brought the ridiculously long-winded composition into class, Mrs. Robertson gave me a bemused look after glancing over the first few lines. I could almost see the realization crossing her face that she should have put a word limit on the assignment instead of just a minimum requirement.
To my teacher's credit, she didn't make a big deal about it. She just moved around the class collecting the essays from everyone else. Although I do vaguely remember her mentioning to the class that Next time there would be a length requirement to aim for, not ju
st a minimum to follow.
Looking back now, I cringe a little at my 6th grade self belaboring the love of basketball into such an unnecessarily long and complex written work. But I'm also filled with a sense of pride at my determination to follow through on the assignment so completely.
Even if the end result was me arguably taking the instructions a bit too literally, at least I showed my capability and willingness to work hard on that composition. I may have stretched the definition of what constitutes a "sentence" to its absolute breaking point. But I still followed the core requirements Mrs. Robertson laid out for us.
In the grand scheme of things, that seemingly minor 6th grade assignment was really my first lesson in learning how to be a disciplined writer. How to take a prompt and use it as a jumping off point to explore a topic in depth through the written word. It taught me skills like setting up a clear thesis, organizing my thoughts, and building out arguments and descriptions over multiple paragraphs.
While the level of writing was extremely basic coming from a 6th grader, it was one of my first experiences having to take something I felt passionately about and transform those feelings into language. Looking back on it now, that's a vital skill that everybody needs to learn and practice over the course of their education and life.
So even though that 6th grade basketball rambling may have been just a little too longwinded and overwrought, it was an important early step. One that helped me develop the writing abilities and self-discipline that allowed me to progress and improve over the years since then.
