BALBOA

Bumping into a pole white chatting and talking was my earliest memory at Balboa. I sat

All quiet in my desk, on my first day, everything so new and different to me.

"Let's all go out for recess," said Mrs. Pinzon (our fourth grade teacher). On the way to the playground I got a little

Bit distracted mingling with Mafe [Maria Fernanda] and Sara, and I hit my head.

Ouch! Was what I didn't say, then they would think I was stupid for making such a careless mistake, but no one ever noticed.

And still I walk the campus grounds, chitchatting and not paying attention, but I have my lesson learned.
