It feels like just yesterday I was eighth grade, writing on this blog! I miss this class so much, it’s not even funny. I have learned so many things in a short amount of time that I will always remember. I hope that all of the students in this class enjoy it as much as [...]
“Do great leaders make history? Or does history make great leaders?” Which do you believe?
