Early Experience

From the start i knew this entry would be difficult. There are only a few childhood memories that i can recall. I decided to tell the story of when i moved to New Paltz in first grade. I was a tom boy, I wore jeans and tee shirts instead of dresses and nice shoe s. My hair was short, spiky, and eventually highlighted purple. On my first day in Mrs. Lewis' class i didn't make a lot of friends. I remember a couple guys asking who the new guy was and joking around. Ironically, they became my best friends! It didn’t take long for me to get use to my new home. I lived in the woods on about eight acres of land. My house was newly built with lots of open space and I got my own room! In my old house my two sisters and I shared a huge room but I finally didn’t have to clean up after them and put up with their nonsense. Best of all, in my back yard there was a GIANT oak tree that we use as base when we played tag. It didn’t take long before I tied my little sister to the tree! Eventually we got rid of the tree and put in a lagoon shaped pool. I like living in New Paltz but cant wait to move out!
