By 1920, all of the states required students from ages 8 to 14 to attend school for part of the year. These schools were one-roomed school houses with classes ranging in all ages. Kids walked to school everyday, most walked around four to five miles round trip. Students learned with limited school supplies, sometimes only a slate, chalk, and a few educational books.

At age ten, I left everything behind in China to start a new life with my parents in United States.
