(I was shorter than I look!)
The first day when my life started.
Walking in to see those big green and white walls.
Seeing the "big kids" and the statue of Saint John Neumann.
My older sister annoyed by my side
Escorting me to the kindergarten hallway.
Entering that carpeted classroom
And finding the big, blue cubby with my name.
Setting down my backpack and
Going to find my table.
That sudden realization of someone you know!
Little ole' Mandy May from Farragut's cheer summer camp.
Once seated at the table I begin to make friends:
The extremely blonde Nathan Viar and the very whimsical Sophia Rosenswag (Who I later called Soppy and continue to today!).
I see my teaching assistant "Mrs. Theodore"
Whom I know from my sister cheerleading.
It's a hard day of learning for my five year old brain,
But when my mom asks how my day was I exclaim, "IT WAS AMAZING!"
Flashing back to that first Friday,
That first day of school.
Forces me to remember everyday
From then to now.
It makes me feel older,
But helps me realize that I must cherish these last few years.
Because one day it will be my child's
First Friday to start their real life .
My Kindergarten
