Walking through the doors at GW for the first time were NOT as I expected. I expected to walk through with my friends casual and collectively, excited to be apart of a new school. However, that wasn’t the case. The first time I walked into GW a small tear ran down my cheek as my smile faded as my awkward sixth grade self whimpered, “Fudge, the door just hit me!” to my friend next to me. Little did I know, she wasn’t really next to me anymore. I looked up to find a giraffe of an eighth grader looking down on me.

We are our parents dream of pride and success. We are our teachers dream of accomplishment as students. And we are our friends dream of admirer, support, role model, and companion. All of us together have spent the last 3 years making each other’s dream come true. 3 years ago, all of us 8th graders started our journey at GW. However, I know our journey going forward is no longer a lonely one. Over the years of bonding we all now have each other to lean
