Kindergarten
I’ve been frustrated in the past that I can’t place any memories in Kindergarten. Today, my kindergarten teacher posted a picture of our kindergarten class on Facebook. Thanks to being friends with some girls I went to kindergarten with who were tagged in the picture, here it is:
(I’m the first one in the second row. With short brown hair and a pink and white dress)
Now that I think about it, I remember a few things about kindergarten registration/testing. I remember going into the little room by the stage (where we had instrument lessons in 4th grade). I also remember that my parents had always called me Kathy and when they gave me a name tag that said Kathleen, I told my mom that they gave me the wrong name tag because that wasn’t my name. It wasn’t that I disliked the name, I really didn’t know that my name was Kathleen. I remember learning my middle name (Alicia) and trying to memorize how to spell it as I got on the school bus. I also remember the night before my first day of school, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep. I kept getting up and asking my mom if it was time for school yet.
