As I moved from elementary school into Jr high, the rules and expectations changed and with that I had to continue to change too. I learned so much during those 2 short years both from the things I got right and the things I got really wrong. Washington Junior High School has long since disapeared from this earth but my memory of the building, the teachers, a bully named Shawn, a girl named parley and my best friend named Frank still make up the best parts of who I have become in this world. I don't know that I would ever want to relive those years but I can say for sure, I am glad they happened just the way they did.
