I still remember my first day of school.
I was born in Long Beach, CA (LA)
My school was about two miles from my house and I had to walk to school. My parents "walked me" through the route.
My first day, I left my house crying then tried to hide in some bushes in our front yard. My mom was home, dad at work. Mom could not even drive a car. I walked to school.
Anyway, I lived.
