1. It’s the first year of school that I actually remember. I can close my eyes and picture the school and classroom and playground and kids.
2. I remember thinking I was very grown up. I turned 10 that year, after all.
3. My favorite thing to do at recess was to play on the tire swings.
4. Joan Jett’s I Love Rock and Roll came out that year. I still can’t resist singing along whenever I hear it.
5. It was the year I first noticed boys. And had my first “boyfriend.” The relationship lasted from lunch recess to the end of school that day.

Getting slapped on the back of the hand with a ruler for not writing with my right hand as I am left handed. Didn’t work - I’m still left handed:)
