Bhakti & Juya Sa.
Brian and his son, Brian, and his other son, and his wife, lived next door to us, in unit 164. In 1993, Bhakti & Juya Sa moved in and they started climbing our tree. Their ancestors may have been from India or something. I would play with them all of the time. They lived with their sister and younger baby brother and mom and dad. They did follow Hindu or something. They started going to our Cornelius Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon, USA. Their dad was abusive. In 1994 or so, they suddenly moved to their grandparents house, or relatives, in Seattle, Washington USA, in order to get away from their dad. The father may have sexually abused his own daughter.
They were one of my favorite childhood friends of all time, alongside of Tiffany & Michael Cumbo, and Bill & Janet Bailey.

State Test 1993
State Test 1993.
Mom home-schooled us children until each one of us were ready for public education, but only when each individual child was mentally there (backed with determination).
Older sis Katie was taught at home until 1st grade, my bro Rick until 5th grade, me (Joey Arnold) until 9th grade in 2000 (but I was 15 years old, as in a year too late, and Crystal was always at least one school-grade year ahead, if not more, and went on to learn more math and languages and other things more than me and older sister Katie), and my younger sis Crystal until 8th grade when she was 13 years old in 2002 - 2003 school year. She turned 13 in 2002.
In the year 1993, when I was 8 years old, my mom, Crystal, and I had to go from Forest Grove to the city Oregon City, which is like 2 hours on the Tri-Met buses.
The state and/or federal government and/or other things maybe, require that children take a required annual state test, they can determine if the kids are learning, but if they feel like they must then they may send children to foster care in an attempt to protect children from abusive families, fathers, mothers, siblings, relatives, friends, gangs, etc.
It was an all day test and my mom made me swallow possible more than a dozen of pills to help me think, mostly, and for energy, because a few hours in the morning and afternoon is a long time for an eight year old.
I was asked to draw anything I wanted during the test.
The man guessed that I was drawing a video game.
I actually drew the map of the world, since I want to travel.
My mom had to show the 30 to 40 year old bearded man with glasses. This may have been my main test instructor. I also had a full-body examination which was awkward. Just a year ago, it would have been less uncomfortable. But you know how things happen as we get older.
The main man asked some trick questions which my mom told me later that sometimes some things are not fair, especially when trying to take advantage of children in order to get them to test lower to enhance the possibilities of failing, so that more can go to to public schools, which may pull for increased taxes to pay for the extra lunch food and bus seats, etc.

Travel The World
I have wanted to travel the world since I was eight years old in the year 1993. Around this time, I started drawing maps of the world, which I copy from a map on our Living Room wall.
Around this time, I had an annual State-Required Test which evaluates and considers the validity of my progress in Home School. I drew a map of the world during my all-day test in 1993.
That year, I drew pictures of me on a wheeled platform that is sailed by balloons which soar to the sky and attached by string as inspired from the balloons seen at car-dealerships like the Ford and Chevrolet near our neighborhood.
The balloons would entice people to come see me from far and near.
The wheels would allow me to travel the world.
Go to where the people are.
The platform is for sharing good news with others.
