I kept change on me

Reflecting on my own journey through school, I realize how much change has shaped who I am today. From the early days of grade school to the challenges and discoveries of middle school, those years are filled with defining moments. I remember small details vividly, like the everyday items we used—one stands out: a cola bottle with the phrase "STOP THIEFI MONEY REMOVED" which I came across recently. It reminded me of how simple things left lasting impressions, even if they seemed insignificant at the time. Being part of Dunbar Middle School and engaging with memories tagged #ThoseThatKnowKnow connects me to a community that shares similar experiences. It's fascinating how school not only teaches academics but also builds lasting bonds and personal growth. The transition from grade school to middle school is more than just a change in environment—it's a period where self-awareness blossoms, and the foundation of who we become is laid. For anyone looking back on their own school days, I recommend taking note of these small artifacts and moments. They often hold the key to understanding our own evolution. Whether it’s a flyer, a snack label, or a classroom routine, these pieces echo the past and highlight how far we’ve come. Embracing change while cherishing memories creates a balanced reflection that enriches our life story.
