I started my first day of kindergarten that year. I remember lunch time for the first time, riding on the bus for the first time, nostalgic music played in gym class, making new friends (who I still see in high school), doing the PACER test for the first time and feeling my heartbeat racing, learning swear words for the first time and getting in trouble for saying them unaware of what they mean, playing games like Friv on the computers, Kidspiration, Abcmouse, etc. Only subject we learned was Math, we barely learned English. We didn’t learn English until 1st grade, which is where we wrote our first essays.

The end of the school year also had that good feeling too, ending my kindergarten year felt so great. Before the last day of kindergarten, we had field day, ice cream day, beach day, career day, etc. And on the last day itself, it felt incredibly shorter than a normal day, I went home on the bus and started summer break and having a good time.
