It was another first day, at another new school.

My Mother and Brother brought me to the big school, but a note on the door said my class had moved to the church across the street.

It was not the building from the tour—the place where I imagined having all of my adventures.

How would I know where to go?

We rushed over, and my Mother showed me to my desk before moving to stand in the back of the classroom.

I sat for a long time while other kids and parents milled around the classroom and took their seats.

Then I turned back, and my Mother ran from the room.

She didn't say goodbye.

I panicked and started crying.

The teacher asked me what happened.

"My mother left without saying goodbye." I said.

"Okay." She replied and walked away.
