As we go along our days, we wonder in the ways in which we've crowned our good for the others to be understood. Having no fear, but knowing we are here for a reason together. Working hard to make it the way we want. And then we look back into the past thinking how we've got through a lot and what we have worked hard to get over and through and around and now we cooperate and have harmony and we are blissful and we want to help each other for the good of humankind.
1 day I went to school and my backpack.The books fell out and spewed all over the ground in the mud puddle.I was so upset my friend.Tony came over and helped me pick up the muddy book with pages stuck together and he wiped them off in the grass and said it's okay.See if they won't mind accidents happen.
OK, thank you.I looked down and ran off with him towards school.When we got there the teacher was very upset to see my book but she said she would get me a new one for only fifteen dollars.
I was like sure that may be nothing to you.But it's like a million dollars to my dad.He will never give me that he'll make me pay it myself.
So I save for a week and another week and another week and finally my allowance added up in the jar and I had fifteen dollars and I paid for my book that I dropped in the mud.
The teacher was so happy but had to count out many quarters before she realized.It was fifteen dollars on the dot.
I looked proud that I could count out the quarters so perfectly.And she was like amazed too saying, Summer.Wow you're really good at mathematics.
I was.
Like yeah, I'm gonna be an orthodontist when I grow up and make a lot of money.And I will put it all in the bank and not have to count a thing.And I turned and retorted that and waltzed off.
So she looked stumbled but she had to bring all those quarters to the bank and she had to change that into real money to hand to the supervisor of the school for the book price.
My dad just went along with his business.
I had a new book.I was so happy.I was throwing it in the air and guess what?It fell into a beehive.
My science and math books were both covered in honey.
Dear anthony showed up again and said, here, just wipe it off.
So I did but they the books were never the same.
The next day I brought my stained books into the classroom and used them as if nothing was wrong with them and nobody noticed.
I was not going to spend my money on new books.
I also kept my books in my backpack with it.Zipped up as much as possible.
In a week we were about to go destined to go to cape cod for a vacation.
My planned out wardrobe was a bathing suit that was blue with double straps at a boy shorts bikini, and some khakis, or I mean a 1/2 pants.What do call them, they go to the middle of your shin. Koolats?
We got there and the beach was on fire with the waves coming crashing.Upon the shore, the surfer boards were out.The people were playing with buckets of sand making castles and covering each other in the sand with extensive exaggerated body parts.
My mom and dad both set up camp in the back of the beach.So they could have an overview.I guess or maybe some privacy.
Me and my brother.
S and sisters went out to the ocean part.And jumped in the waves.
All was good, but then there was a shark call.If people said there was a shark out in the ocean we were on the oceanside as opposed to the bayside and that sometimes happened.
Everyone rushed to their cars before they got bitten by the shark.
We moseyed on down to Provincetown to look at the shops in a row.On one street the town had.
Soon we were dining in a very nice place.And I ordered chicken and rice and green beans.
One day our friends who had come to stay nearby at the same time on the cape with us came over and we spent the day watching a bonfire and the moon came out at night and I had my shades on and I just stared at the fire till people started laughing at me then I took them off lol.
This really happened.And we walked through the sand dunes.And we just had a good time.There was a general store down the street and I bought string for string bracelets of all different colors.
When we went home I was happy to be there but school started in one month so I wanted to get new clothes but they wouldn't buy me any.
I had to make my own shorts out of skirts and skirts out of material that I had found or I had or my grandmother gave me.
Clothing was a big issue but I didn't realize they had money for me to buy shopping for clothes but I never asked.
I was after my sister's clothes and she didn't let me wear it one time and I threw her
My mornings were very quick.I took a shower run out to the bus and was late and had to be taken by the second school bus.The kids bus which last stop was the high school.
Sometimes I would walk my dog.We were living in the suburbs and there was a nature preserve nearby with paths and trees and bushes it was called the pine bush.
The dog would run and I would unleash it and it would come back when I called it.
Those were fun days and I had a paper route.
