somehow managed to notice the lifeless and depressing posters that the school had so thoughtfully presented us with.

It had only been two months since my family and I came from Ethiopia and everything was still brand-new to me, especially the language. My first day of school

From the first moment of gazing into a newborn’s eyes, parenthood is a journey of firsts—first smile, first tooth, first wobbly steps.

Middle school for some people is an easy time where they are interested in learning the new way of “big kids” school, with changing classes, and new teachers, and harder subjects.
