I remember way back during school days, I used to hate waking up in the morning (which I still do) and dress up to go to school, recalling all the previous day's homework that was forced upon us all. I used to think to myself everyday, "Oh god! When will I grow up and there'll be no burden of studies all the freaking time". But now I would just do anything to go back to my school days, sit in my classroom, play flames and tic tac toe with my friends, exchange juicy gossip on who has a crush on whom. I'm sure there are a zillion other memories that we have about our childhood school days, how about rejuvenating them right here, right now?

One of my first memories as a child was my mom walking me to school on the first day of kindergarten. I still can visualize the jacket I was wearing.I remember playing football and soccer in the fields pretty much every day we could. We would rush out and I remember my brother Alec always telling me how much I stunk from the sweat. I didn’t care because I could have played all day.
One memory I have was Toan making this amazing, one-handed catch in the front of the school playing football and we were all in awe. Who knew he would become a CFL player.

I remember auditioning for a play and telling Hieu that he would not get the part because his voice wasn’t low enough and he punched me in the nose. We still joke about it to this day.

So many good memories and friends from that place; many of whom I am still close with to this day.

Enjoy your time as a student!
