So it means you are onto the next step of aspiration. Every June we should celebrate how far we have \u201cgraduated\u201d from the previous year. So what are your grades for 2006?<\/p>\n<p class=\"style6\">When I was in grammar school the year was subdivided into A &amp; B. If you notice on my second grade picture from St. Thomas Aquinas it says \u201c2B\u201d. This meant it was during the January \u2013 June part of the year. And yes, you would either graduate or be \u201cleft back\u201d from 2A to 2B.\u00a0 Can you find me in the picture?
