Fast Times of ’07 High
Sixteen years ago I was in my next chapter in my life: high school. I finished reading Call of the Wild as part of my summer reading. The summer of 2007 was a bit forgettable. In 9th grade of high school I was a little nervous, so I envisioned myself in the 80s of high school to get through. Looking back it was euphoric for me as I made new friends. Dance class was really fun for me in a big way; it gave me confidence to be all I can be with personality and charisma.

I’ve been to two proms. It was one of these moments I’ll carry forever. I’d also play 80s music at home to help me escape the tough realities I endured.
