I would wait in the neighbors' house until my aunt and grandma came home. It was very kind of the elderly couple to allow me into their house. I recall them having a boat in their driveway as an additional fact.
I graduated from an elementary school in Maryland. Both Ryan and I attended that elementary school after all. I spent half of my fourth-grade year and all of my fifth-grade year there.
After graduating from 5th grade at the elementary School. I had started 6th grade in a middle school. It was a school where students had their own lockers and schedules. It would operate similarly to an American high school. I recall being in English class when we had a project to do later in the class. The thought of having to do that project scared me.
Thankfully, I was at Fairy Middle School for only 2-3 months before I moved back to California. So no need for me to be afraid of doing that one project in English class, haha. I believe my grandmother didn't like how dangerous the roads in Maryland were when it snowed. The roads could become icy, making it dangerous to drive through. One time, on a snowy day in Maryland, I would slip on an icy patch 3 times. That icy road on the walkway was simply cold enough for a child like me to slip on multiple times. This isn't something Californians could experience unless they lived in the California mountains. There were many more forests in Maryland than in California. I remember walking back from the school bus stop to go home. There was a forest across the street, which would sometimes scare me. The forest could have anything in it after all. It was also a vast forest, where anyone could get lost.
I remember visiting New York with my mother and other family members. It was mostly boring to me back then. We mostly went to Chinatown, which isn't very exciting for me. At the very least, my mother brought me a Yoshi plushie on my trip. I wasn't sure why I'd even decided to go with my mother and the others, anyway. I would love to visit New York again someday and actually take in the full tourist experience.
