For me it was getting to wear my new cloths. We got to go shopping once a year for cloths and by then we were in real need, especially my brother, who went through bigger growing spurts at times. I never liked school and tolerated it ok. I was always a good kid, but I was sure glad when I graduated. If there is one thing that makes me think reincarnation could be true is that school was a drudgery that I felt, I had done before and had to get through it.
