I'm writing a story in first person and I want to make an awesome sentence beginning. So the character is at school. He's in sixth grade and I want to make him sound like a sixth grader. Please help!

You need to read novels. Lots of novels. Any novels. Notice that they all have perfect spelling, perfect punctuation, perfect composition. Notice where they use one space and where they use two. Notice that every speaker in a dialog gets a new paragraph, and every paragraph is preceded by a blank line. Notice any writing techniques or figures of speech. Take notes so you know where you found what you know. It takes a lot of reading to be a writer.
