No one wants to remember their middle school days, but I have an appreciation for my middle school, because it was where I met the majority of my best friends. I was never a super social kid, and I had friends here and there, but I would say that I never had a core group of friends until middle school. I met two of my best friends from English class when the teacher just assigned us seats next to each other. After we graduated, we actually went back and thanked her for helping us meet by seating us next to each other, but she wasn’t there when we went. I don’t know if we would have ever been as close as we are now if it weren’t for her or middle school though.
