15.On my first day of Kindergarten,I was both excited and a little (56)scared (scare).The large classroom was full of books and toys,two things (57)that/which I loved.But it was also full of (58)kids(kid) all larger than me.Because my birthday was in late September,I was allowed in at only 4years old,and this meant that I was bound to be the (59)smallest (small) kid in my class.
I think that my Mom sensed I was a little afraid.That was (60)why she was always there to pick me up right after school when I could have (61)easily (easy) rode the bus.I would jump in the front seat next to her and tell her all about my day.Sometimes we would even read a book and wait until all the cars and buses had left before we(62)drove (drive) home.I treasured those special times when I had my Mom all to (63)myself (me).I felt so safe and peaceful when we sat in the car together.(64)Beginning/To begin(begin) the new challenge of school didn't seem so difficult when I knew that I could talk (65)about it with her.Being a tiny,little kid in a big scary world wasn't so bad either.I knew that my Mom loved me and that was all I needed to be loving,joyful,and strong.
