Forged in the minds of students and created in Dream Room 105, this collection of vignettes will illuminate incredible inner strength as well as genuine vulnerabilities/insecurities. From the pure joy of winning a first basketball game and the beauty of musical expression to the stress of the high school application process and paralyzing self doubt, these students each offer an authentic lens into their last year in middle school. All voices are heard: some are sprinkled with humor, charisma and creativity; others are filled with regret, uncertainty, and raw emotion. While each vignette is as unique as the student who wrote it, there is one overarching theme: honesty. From our hearts and minds to this bound book, we hope you are able to appreciate the world through our eyes.
