ABM: 10 Things From 4th Grade

• 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.
