<p>[QUOTE="Skyler, post: 1178254, member: 29434"]I woke up any other day to get ready for the second grade, put on my clothes that my mom picked out, ate my cereal, brushed my teeth and I was off! Today was no ordinary day, a classmate had brought in something unique, very unique, and fascinating only to my eyes. Everyone gathered around on the carpet to hear about what he had brought it. He brought over a white binder, then opened it for us to see. The binder was filled with coins, us coins, world coins, pennies, quarters, dollars. He explained to us every coin he had with detail, explaining that some came from his great grandma's, or from his own purchases. The class wasn't enthused, and the teacher's sounds of appreciation sounded fake, but he was able to hook at least one kid, and that kid was me. To this day I have been collecting various u.s coins and relatives that travel abroad bring me back some coinage from distant nations. I love coins, all thanks to the kid who brought his collection to school, in second grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great contest idea, it gave me a chance to finally write out my story for once.
