The First Day

What I remember most about the first day of school was thinking, "Where in the hell did all these people come from?" At the junior high there was only 30 or 40 of us, and here was a boatload of people I didn't even know. I remember buddying up with Pat Lowe and Jabo Lynn in the crowd of people in front of the school. I had known Pat for several years, so any friendly face was welcome. I had no idea there were that many kids in the county.
