What is one of the most memorable years of your life?
For me it would probably be 2007, when I graduated high school (thank the Lord), and had a crazy first semester of college.

Sorry to heard if you were sick, or are now. I missed the fourth grade. When I was that age, schools in Chicago went from split-year (A or B) designations to one full school year. I and the classmates I had took a year-and-a-half in a year and were "double promoted" from third to fifth grade, making some kids younger than others. I was one of those. Some kids couldn't make the jump and were put back a grade - but I survived it and graduated from high school when I was barely seventeen.

@MaryJanine That's really interesting! Must be really cool graduating too young. I was the youngest at my college but for other reasons.
I have muscular dystrophy so 4rth grade was when I would start falling randomly, was quite embarrassing at school then by 6th grade I started using a wheelchair.

I AM so sorry to hear that! I knew a girl who taught me my job who had to move away because she was afflicted with the same disease. Later I read in the church bulletin that she passed away from it. She was a nice person and I was sorry it happened to her.
I use a walker because both my knees have arthritis. It was a "move of desperation" because my knees were stiffening up, but I didn't go to the walker until I tripped over my own feet in the hall of Mercy Chapel and bit my lip when I fell. Thee priest (who was the CEO and sometimes priest at Mercy Home) was VERY upset and insisted I sit in the first row and have communion brought to me instead of walking up for it (we were taping Mass for Shut-Ins for Television).
