Wow, I remember way back when...I loved to play tether ball, that was one of my favorite sports, even at home, my mom made us a tether ball in the backyard and she would play with me all the time...Where does the time go? l enjoyed school so much in elementary, all my friends, the games, and then the real lessons began , as I moved into middle school and high school, no more fun and games..work work, work...Loved the memories this brought back to me..Thank you..Awesome write..God Bless*Tyesha
