Going to the University

Going to a university
It was the night before little Johnny first day of 2nd grade. Little Johnny is setting on his bed getting his book bag together with all his crayon, pencils, scissors, eraser, paper and all the other supplies on the list. It sure was a lot of stuff to fit in little Johnny’s bag. As little Johnny continued to pack he started to day dream about all the fun he had at the lake this summer with his friends and family.
Suddenly, the phone rings Little Johnny hears his mother yell for Charley his older brother, “Telephone Charley”. Charley was much bigger than Little Johnny with blonde curly hair. Charley just about ran over little Johnny trying to get to the phone. “Watch out”, Little Johnny shouted, ‘’what’s the hurry?’’ Of course, no answer came from the older brother. “Hello Mike” said Charley. Charley and Mike Then started to make plans to go camping at the lake, as Little John listen.” What tomorrow,” Johnny thought I can’t go I have school. That’s right Charley is going to the university, he will not have classes until two week from now. It’s not fair Charley is always doing stuff I can’t do. I wish I could go to the University thought Little Johnny, as he stomped off to bed.
The next morning Little Johnny is awaken, with a tug on his arm.” Wake up Johnny,” his mother whispered. Little Johnny opened his eyes to see his mother with her pretty smile and kind voice saying time to get up. I will get breakfast ready. You get dressed then come down stairs. After three tries, Little Johnny finally tied his shoes. The smell of bacon was making him hungry, so he tried to hurry. When he passed Charley’s room, he was still sleeping.
Little Johnny, eating his breakfast asked if Charley was sick.” Why no.” his mother spoke softly. Charley doesn’t have school for two more weeks.” That’s right he is going to the university. I wish I was going to the university,” said Little Johnny. The bus will be here in 15 minutes Little Johnny’s mother told her son as she finished packing his lunch.” Make sure to get your book bag little Johnny. I will get the new calculator I bought for you last night.” said Little Johnny’s mother.
Standing at the bus stop with his mother Little Johnny saw a friendly sight, a big yellow bus coming down the street with MS. Julie behind wheel. Little Johnny liked Ms. Julie. She always gave out suckers on Friday for being good on the bus. After the door shut and Little Johnny climbed into the seat just behind Ms. Julie, she asked how Charley was. He is still sleeping. He doesn’t start school for two weeks. Charley is going to the university. I wish I was going to the university. Ms. Julie will you take Charley to school?” asked Little Johnny. “Oh no!” Ms. Julie explained that university is all the way across town. Charley would have to take the city bus.”Not The city bus full of all those strangers and that smelly old man that scared Little Johnny, when Charley took him to the mall to see Spiderman.
Upon arriving at school, Little Johnny was greeted by one of safety guards that escorted him to his new classroom way down the hall. Little Johnny was glad that he was glad because he wasn’t sure where his new class was. While sitting at his desk waiting for the rest of the class to show up. Little Johnny started to remember the day mommy took Charley to register at the university. They walked from one building to another over and over again. How would Charley ever find his new class room? He surely would get lost. Little Johnny started to unpack all the school supplies when he remembered that Charley had no list of supplies. Mommy didn’t even buy Charley a single pencil or a box of crayons. How would Charley color or do his math problems?
Finally, it was lunch time and little Johnny was very hungry as he opened his lunch box. There inside were his favorite snack ding dongs. But wait, Little Johnny thought. Mommy didn’t buy Charley a new lunch box, and last year when I left my lunch box on the bus if Mr. Jones had not lent me all that money to buy lunch I would have been hungry all day Little Johnny thought to himself, “poor Charley.”
As the bell rang at the end of the day, Ms Peters Little Johnny’s new teacher reminded everyone to take his homework. Little Johnny grabbed his book bag and headed for the bus there was Ms. Julie waiting to take him home. All the way home Little Johnny thought about all the things that Charley would have to go through; the scary strangers on the bus, not having crayons to color with, no Scooby Doo lunch box filled with momma’s great treats, getting lost in all those big building, and homework from 5 teachers he will never get done in time to play. When the bus pulled up to the house there was Charley and Mike packing up Mike’s truck with all the stuff for their camping trip. Little Johnny walked up to Charley’s sure go camping now, but I am glad that I am not going to the university. I like everything just the way they are.”
