Keeping It Cool

The first day of school for a child could very well be a traumatic experience. The child never sees it coming. On day he or she could be playing at home with no worries in life, and then the next day being shipped off to a building filled with a bunch of crazy little kids running around. Now, if that’s not a traumatic experience for the fragile mind of a six year old then I don’t know what is. I experienced the trauma first hand in the first twenty minutes of class. I was stranded by my family, but I had to keep my cool.

The first day of school has the biggest impact on the way a person will eventually turn out in the future. If, on your first day, you look “cool” and people see you as cool, then you’ll be popular, but if you start off your day by crying and vomiting, then people will avoid you no matter how nice or generous you are to them. Why crying you ask? Crying because this isn’t any first day of school, it’s the first day of kindergarten. In the end of summer 1992, I got into the small enclosed room of a new and unknown world that my mother called school. On first arrival, I was scared to see children my age with their parents. I lived on a street where most of my neighbors were relatively old

. . .

I noticed this huge table, but it wasn’t any kind of table. I had some kind of infatuation with boats back then, and that took my eye right away. That kid definitely did not go down with out a fight.

As we reached the classroom, the doorway was blocked by a mom trying to pry her son’s grasp from around her waist. She was the last person I seen my mother with so she had to know where she went. I had to play it cool no matter what. I still felt secure because my mom was by my side, but I didn’t know how long that was going to last because my mom is very sneaky. As we were walking toward the Kindergarten section of the school, I could hear the screams of the children who couldn’t handle the pressure of their parents leaving them. My mom always had a thing for being early to everything.

The drive to school took a lot shorter then I wanted it to take. To be totally honest I was beginning to have fun. A nice little push though in the back from my mother kept me on pace and into the school.
