My earliest memory, is so silly.

I'm in kindergarten and we are doing the letter E in our workbook. There is a tearable page in the workbook. In which we can cut out a square and fold the paper and make a paper envelope. And use a glue stick on one tiny part of it to help get it stay folded.

For some reason this blew my mind that you could make something new out of a piece of paper. Later in the year after fighting with this mean fat kid who always bullied the girls...the teacher showed me a book about origami to look at to bloody calm down. Worked like a charm! until I realized that most of it was too hard for me, and I had no one willing to help me. But for years and years afterwards, I'd always return to origami and attempt to try something new. usually the library had books for me. I never kept any of my creations, because I found it more fun to give away. It was also a decent way to pass notes in school. I got espeically good at cranes, paper balloon, butterflies, fish, stars, rabbits, turtles, various flowers, ninja stars, dog, crow, and paper cups (for water), paper bowl (for snacks) I made a bunch of curious George paper boats when I was 6 years old. The children's book about Sadako and the thousand paper cranes made an impression on me when I was 8, and I'd make cranes every dau to put in a friend's desk when she was in the hospital for two weeks. I was the person to go to for complicated paper airplane folding and paper footballs that held up decently-I had some alternate way of folding it that worked better, but I no longer remember it.

I haven't made anything in years now.
