18.Growing up in Webster

As a kid growing up in Webster I always enjoyed spending time with my friends in my neighborhood. I remember spending all of my childhood running around the neighborhood playing wiffleball in backyards hockey in the streets and football in open fields. Often times we would play with the same group of neighborhood kids. At night we would meet up with other neighborhoods around us and get big games of hide and go seek in the entire neighborhood. Going to Klem Road North Elementary school I was friends with a lot of kids from other neighborhoods too. Getting bus passes to other kid’s houses was always very fun to do. Often times I would go to friends houses on Fridays eat dinner there and then spend the night. Some of my greatest memories as a kid growing up consist of going to friends houses with a large group of my friends and we would spend all night watching television and talking about what went on throughout the year. In the winter I would gather a group of my friends to come to and go sledding at Webster Park which was a very popular sled hill in Webster. My friends and I would get together make jumps and see how high we could go off of these jumps. When it came to Middle School I was the first class to complete three year there seeing that the middle school was just built. Middle School was very different from elementary because the fact that we were given lockers to keep our stuff in. This also was a huge transition because you meet many new people and say goodbye to many others. Since Webster has two middle and high schools often times they choose a group of elementary schools to go to one and a group to go to the other but my school was split down the middle due to where they lived in my town.
