I went to Kindergarten and 1st grade in Reidsville, Georgia. I started second grade in Bacon Primary School when my family moved to Hinesville, Georgia when I was 7. I missed Reidsville initially because of the pastures and farm land and I also loved watching the Cows. For some reason it was tranquil just watching them lying around. Although, being a child, I didn't know their fate at the time, which was a good thing. I then went to a school that at the time seemed to be just for 4th graders and I cannot remember the name as I attended for one year I believe. I remember yet another school in Hinesville during 5th grade. I think they were doing construction on the schools at that time. I then attended Hinesville, Middle school in I think 6th grade where I attended until I completed 8th grade. I was in the JAIL HOUSE a lot. What was that? It was an old restroom that was turned into what the school called a jail. The stalls were replaced with desks. If you did anything wrong you would get detention and be called to jail. I remember being in there many times. I loved it because I could get work done and not be interrupted. This was a very nice school however, and I learned a lot. The teachers were great (only one that did not understand me and she was the one that threw me in jail all the time.) but I have great memories of track, and my first dance there. ...Expand for more
