[quote=Anonymous]I did a summer school course one year so I could take an advanced course that fall the summer I was 13 turning 14.  The bus pick up and drop off for summer school was at the local elementary school about 1.5 miles from my home. My mom dropped me off each morning before she left for work and she’d arranged for an older teen cousin to pick me up each afternoon.

Except one week my cousin let us know that she was going to be out of town that Friday and couldn’t do it. After assuring my parents that I was nearly 14, weeks away from entering high school, and more than capable of walking myself home... I got horribly lost.

It was one of those dreadful hot summer days where it was 100 and felt like 110 and all I wanted to do was get home ASAP so I could go to the neighborhood pool. I cut down some side streets in what I thought was a shortcut and ended up in one cul-de-sac after another. I was all turned around and confused even though I’d lived in that area my entire life. I went to the elementary school from which my trip originated, for goodness sake! I made that trip by bus twice a day from K-5th grade! Plus all the random times I’d driven it as a passenger in my parents car!  I finally managed to get myself back to the main road that I recognized and made it home almost 2 hours later. This was precell phones too, so no pulling up the GPS app or calling for help.

I can easily see how this could happen to someone that age as I did the same thing. [/quote]
