Walteria Elementary School in Torrance, CA

     On my recent trip to southern California, I stopped by my old, beloved elementary school.  As I walked through the halls, full of nostalgia, I came across a classroom with its door open.  Peeking inside, I spotted a young boy and his teacher. 
     "Mind if I poke around?  I went to this school about fifteen years ago."
     "Fifteen years??!  Wow."  The kid seemed astonished.
     "Yep," I replied.  "I had Ms. Pound in kindergarten, Ms. Ryan in first grade, Mrs. O'Brien in second grade..."
     "I had Mrs. O'Brien in second grade too!!  And this is her classroom!"
     And thus I travelled full circle back to my very own second grade classroom.
