It was first grade, and I was probably 7. For some reason, I have always loved the swings. Even at 21, I love being on them. I could be on them for hours and never be tired of it. I recall making a group of friends here in elementary school. The social hierarchy was interesting…. There was a boss amongst the group of friends that I joined. I always loved racing with friends back then. I wish I could run these days and feel the wind. Perhaps one day, I might again, with the proper equipment. For reasons I can't recall, I would always run away from them. They got mad at me for running away from them. Well, running away is typically a survival choice to avoid the threat at hand. I was in a small California town from kindergarten through fourth grade.
My mother discussed living in Maryland for a while since we had relatives living there. For that reason, it could help us know that family members are nearby. I recall being asked, "Do you want to live in Maryland?" I told my mother that I wanted to live with my grandma and my aunt's family.
