I have very few memories of elementary school either. I got picked on terribly because I was a bit awkward, and well ahead of my peers academically. However, an interesting thing has happened. I have been on facebook, and reconnected with a lot of folks who I went to school with. People have posted pics of group school photos, and even photos that they have with me, like when I would go play at their houses and so forth. Everyone talks about things that they remember, and its funny how we all remember things a bit differently. Perspective has much to do with this I am sure. All I remember is being made fun of, and being bullied. But there were obviously other things that happened that were good and fun.
