How fast can you read?

   Last year in fourth grade near the end of the year my teacher did a sort of test/assessment. A few days before the test/assessment, my teacher told the class that she would start giving the tests out AGAIN. I transferred in the middle of the year on October 8 (I can't believe I still remember). But, I was at the school when I was in third grade, but then I transferred back (long story). Anyway, where was I, so when I found that out my legs started getting all shaky (I tend to have them problem when I'm nervous). But then she announced that another girl and I didn't have to do the test, and I was like "YES!!!" (inside my head), she said the people who got a great score for the test last semester didn't have to do it this semester. The next day, while I was happily doing some writing, the teacher suddenly announced that I would still have to do the reading test/assessment (also the other girl). As each person got called up one by one I was trembling. When it was at last my turn, I started sweating. My hands felt all moist and sticky. I sat down and started reading from a short little story. I read as fast as I could not even stopping when I made mistakes, because then I could get father into the story so I could get a better grade. Before I knew it I had finished the test. As I was walking down the aisle  back to my desk, many people were looking at me in awe. I later found out that I got one of the highest scores for the test (not trying to boast). I could have improved on stumbling over words, and I'll make sure to remember that if I ever do that again.
