Reflections on me by 2nd graders

Each day in my second grade class, students have time set aside to write in their journals on a specific topic. Today, I happened to be that topic. :) Sometimes after the kids have written, one of the teachers will write back to them to give them feedback and the kids think it's really cool. Today after they wrote, I read their entries and wrote back to them. The entries range from quite obvious to quite profound (or something like that) and I thought I'd share them with you. We tell the students to try their best at spelling when they're writing in their journals and we don't help them, so I'm leaving each entry exactly as it was written, but I'll translate on some of the ones that aren't as easy to figure out.
