The author speaks about his first year in Junior High School and the amount of homes he was in while in foster care. The one thing I connected with was when he spoke about his first day of high school. “… and how enormous the upper grade students were- until I discovered that they were in the same grade as I, and I was probably the smallest kid in the entire school.” I can understand what he was feeling as he stood in the hallways because I felt that way too. My first day of T.C was scary in the sense that everyone was super tall. Everywhere I walked, I saw a tall person. As time went on and as I was adjusting  myself to T.C and it’s people, they didn’t feel so tall to me anymore.  It is in this way that I can relate and understand how the author felt during this time.
