Lost and Found: How Baseball Saved Me

I glanced at the clock yet again.

“Please,” I thought, “hit one-thirty.”

Soon my teacher was grabbing my shoulder.

“Your father is here for you, Aram.”

I jumped out of my seat, picked up my book-bag and ran to the lower school office where my father was waiting.

“Where are you headed?” my principal asked.

Before my dad could finishing saying “the doctors office,” I yelled, “a baseball game!” The principal glared at my father. We didn’t care.

I was going to Opening Day. My first Opening Day.

I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, but I can remember every single detail of that Opening Day.
