I never walked to school though, my mom usually gave me a ride there and picked me up after school to go home. It wasn’t until second grade when I finally met all my best friends. My main best friend was in the same class this year as me and his name was Jacob Vanhorn. He was almost a full year younger than me and his birthday was 3 months before mine. We had a lot in common and got along really well. A lot of the time after school my mom would take me to his house which was by right by the school just on the other side of the street as the school. We used to hang out all the time in the summer both at mine and his house. A couple of times I took him to go with me to Chuck E. Cheese’s in Des Moines. We always had a blast when we hung out.

After the game I said “I should probably be getting home now,” as the sun was starting to go down and the darkness of the night started to come out. He said “Ok, thanks for coming over and playing with me.”
“Anytime,” I replied with excitement.
When I got home my parents asked me about it and all I could say at that time was that it was “A blast, and a really fun time!” Then I got ready to go to sleep and get ready for whatever I was gonna do the next day and days after that. That’s how the next chapter of my life went and many more things to
