I was under five years old when I started going to McKinley Elementary School, which had a special program for children with disabilities. This is where Lori first met me. She told me about it when we met again after my family, and I moved back to Bakersfield. That summer after we moved, my mom decided to send me to camp. When Mom and Joe were dropping me off for the first time, I cried, when we drove back, I was crying to go back to camp. XX That is where Lori and I met for the first time. While we were at camp, we would always make sure our beds were close together, so we were able to talk for hours. This is where she had told me that she would try to teach me the alphabet on the school bus, but I wasn’t having it. When she told me, I said I probably just wanted to get home. We both laughed. Sometimes we would play this game Lori called "build a guy wrote". It went like this; we each turns saying what we would like in a guy who we would like to date. Most of the time, thoughts would be strong, confident, and helpful. Of course, it wouldn't hurt if they were handsome. XX
