How Hard Was It to Send Your Kid Off to School Today?

Tuesday was the first day of school for many students in the San Fernando Valley.

Did you send a little one off to elementary school for the first time? How about a middle schooler? Was your kid finally entering high school?

Check out the video of us following Donovan Sylla, 11, from his tiny school of 250 at Valley View Elementary School and going to Walter Reed Middle School with more than 1,700. He was a bit overwhelmed, anxious and intimidated.
