My School Days ~ Kindergarten

Tweet

Thanks to @JudyEv I now have a topic for a discussion. By the way, my raised bed garden is being worked on right now, but to get to school, I had to walk through the woods similar to that in my photo. It saved time. My mother walked me to school and picked me up daily. Having two young brothers at home made it difficult, so she eventually hired a 6th grade boy to walk me home. One day as I waited outside the school for what seemed like forever, he never showed up. Perhaps he was ill. So I crossed a busy road at five years old and walked all the way home myself. It was only a 10 minute walk, but very scary and long to me. I came across a snake sunning itself across the path. Too afraid to jump over it, I stood there frozen. My mom came running to me through the woods frantic, but relieved to see me. I caused her first gray hair. I won’t bother telling you how I wet my pants every day in story circle. I just backed my chair away little by little. I was too shy back in the day and terrified of snakes even then.
