    Once I had grown little older, I went to school for the first time. I was very excited as I started to go to Grandview elementary. I was already familiar with the aspect of "school" as I had gone to daycare in Tracy elementary.
  • Big birthday party

    Big birthday party
    One of my biggest birthday parties was when I turned four. It was in Hooch and Blotto's which is where most of the other birthday parties I went to as a kid were. There was a magician that had a wand and he uttered some magic words and POP a fake snake came out of the wand and although it was fake, my four year old self thought it was real and booked it out of Hooch and Blotto's at max speeds.
  • Sister born

    Sister born
    The day that my sister was born was fun. My grandparents were there and my grandmother had gone to the hospital for the birth of my sister. I was with my grandfather. He was the grandfather of my mom's side of the family so he was new to america. He wanted to go for a walk and in India, you usually always have a key on you so my grandpa told me to lock the door once we left. He expected me to have a key and I was just following my elder so my parents had to come back to a locked door.
