I remember

I remember playing football in the front yard with Jahmal. He was fast and got really sad when I left him for Tiger. I remember the first time I ever met my fifth grade teacher. I remember my last day of Junior High and then my first day of High School. I remember Christmas when I was eight. I remember the first time my mom cried. It was right after baseball practice and I was eleven. I remember being 16. I remember hiding my first A- from my parents for six months. Six months full of useless anxiety and exhaust.
