OK. Trying to collect all the clues: early life in Britain, likely a girl since that is who you bonded with. You were 5 in 1965. Moved to another place (USA) and want to return to your homeland (England). Brain is teasing me with a person but I have to say I give and need to read profiles more carefully! Esther

Wrong LOlL! Early life in Scotland, yes, but Daddy wanted to live in Australia. As a musician on Strathmore PO cruise ship in 1958, it was his dream. Sadly, he did not get to meet my Aussie hubby.

Thank you for sharing, mystery author.
You did a fine job of characterizing your new schoolmates at the age of five years old, and indeed, did you all sound so grown up as you started what we term as kindergarten here in the US.
I'm on FanStory quite infrequently these days, so I'm afraid I don't have a guess to your identity, but I wish you well in this contest. Well written.

Comment from Kahlani
This story is a poignant reminder of the passing of time and how the older we get, the more we tend to hold onto those earlier memories--an excellent piece of writing.

Thank you, Sarah. I am glad you enjoyed it. Funnily enough, it was the only clear memory of that year. Nearly sixty years have passed by.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I loved how you painted a picture of your first day of school. I could feel the emotions. The way you introduced your classmates was great. I think you did a great job of bringing them to life. It's interesting to see how those early memories continue to shape who you are today. Keep writing; your storytelling is excellent. This was an enjoayble read.
