I still have a very vivid memory of this day. It still scares me to think of what could 've happened had I not jumped off the buggy and ran. So one sunny Sunday my whole family came over after church. Like usual we had nothing to eat so we decided to go to nashville to eat at Papa Poblanos. It was a very lovely meal .

When I was in kindergarten, I did not have friends; my highs and lows oscillated on the approval of others who understood me even less than I did myself. For picture day, I remember being happy to wear my favorite shirt: a Strawberry Shortcake blouse with ruched sleeves. A girl deprecatingly told me I looked like a little kid. I never wore the shirt again. Although I already felt like an outsider, the situation worsened when I moved from Las Vegas to Hawaii.
