memoirs 1.06

To this day, I feel like I am the official greeter of the Human Race! In first grade, I had to learn the English language and I just remember this exercise being done over and over again. 'The Rabbit jumped over the fence.' We spelled and said that sentence. It created some impact for me as the first instance of rote learning. They put words together in a sentence for the first time. The easiest parts were the greetings. Later, we learned idioms. In my mind I was immediately encouraging myself to have conversations with my classmates. That's why people like me at parties and gatherings so much...I am a great conversationalist and can chat for hours on end on interesting topics. My classmates found me studious and also engaging and witty.
