My favorite memories

It's hard to know what we'll remember years from now, but at this point, here are my top five favorite memories:

5) The collective pain & discomfort of traveling overnight on the bus. There's nothing like shared misery to bond a group together. (-:

4) Getting to hang out with some seriously neat kids that I had in class as seventh graders. It was really great to squeeze in one last memory with these cherubs before they move on to high school.

3) Simultaneously, I really enjoyed getting to know many of the kids that I hadn't had in class. If it wasn't for this trip, I'd have missed out on a splendid group of engaging and entertaining young adults.

2) The many times I felt proud to accompany such a well-behaved, mature bunch. It means something to say "We're from Concord," and these kids seemed to understand that challenge and live up to it (almost) all the time.

1) Traveling on the Metro with my eight compadres while hundreds of thousands of other people also used it to get home.

I'm not sure if any kids are going to check this site, but if you do, don't be a shy goober -- write a comment that includes your favorite memories.
