In junior year of high school my locker was nowhere near any of my classes except 2 (out of 9). And with only 5 minutes in between classes to get from one room to the other, making extra trips wasn't possible. So every day my backpack would be so heavy I walked hunched over. My teachers…

My best friend and I are in our 30’s and we STILL talk about how horrible Johnny Tremaine was. Summer of 7th grade going into 8th we had to read that book, fill out a packet, answer questions, write an essay…the whole nine yards. It was the WORST book and the worst summer. I get goosebumps…
