The "Backfield," as we called it, used to be open, but was banned when I was in second grade, I think, by the new principal. We used to use walnuts from the trees as money and everything was sold there. It was like our own little civilization. I remember that one of my best friends and I were the advisors for the president. Then he betrayed us or whatnot... I don't quite know what happened, really.

Anyways, out of campus, behind the Backfield, was a field of weeds. Just recently, they built a park there. Two playgrounds and a single tennis court. I like the park there, they have swings. ^^ I used to want swings in our elementary school. I loved swings when I was younger and I still do. I'm a child at heart. I always tried to swing higher and higher, thinking I could actually touch the sky sometime. I didn't know any better.

Maybe two or three nights ago, my dad insisted we go on a walk and we went to the park. It was about 7:30pm and it was just going dark. I was really surprised at how many people were still at the park. Especially because there were still families with children out. I don't know, it just surprised me. I suppose it is summer, after all. It's kind of cool how the swings are facing the school and you can see everything and all. I could see how much the school had changed and realized that I had changed some, too. I regret how ignorant I used to be.
