Relating with those I care about, especially during elementary school. It was like the entire grade was one big family (around 120 students). More than 80% of the student body was Asian with the rest being African American and there were only 5-6 other white kids in the entire school, one of them being my sister (who I hardly interact with).

All of my best memories are from this time; camping field trips, valley fair, dodge-ball (played this nearly everyday), kick ball, capture the flag, swimming once a month, and so much more. I became the primary target for being everyone's friend because as I often stood out as the only white person in the class. Everyone was there for each other, we even made the big tough guy cry his eyes out on the last day of school.

While I was very empathetic and hurting others hurts me 20x as much, I still wasn't perfect. I'd often brag about my superior test scores and I even annoyed the living shit out of the after-school teacher and made him quit his job. But that all worked out in the end because we got our primary school teacher to become our after school teacher after that heh heh.

Otherwise, playing ToonTown alone at my grandmother's house while spinning around in an office chair during nights and cloudy rainy days were the best.

It'd be a horrifying to shock to everyone who knew me, both teacher and students, that I had gotten social anxiety and a 2.0 GPA in high school.
