So, last Friday I had the opportunity to visit my old middle school, Albion. My sister was receiving the "Knight of the Quarter" award, and family was invited to attend the assembly when the award is given. As an added bonus, my sister was also performing "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay as a musical number. She did a great job performing and she was very surprised that she won the award...I am very proud of her!
Needless to say, I had forgotten what is was like to be in an assembly full of eighth grade students! It was crazy to go back and see how things have changed and what is still the same. Students are still noisy, teachers are still trying to maintain control...there weren't really any big changes...it seemed very similar to how it was when I was in eight grade. All I can say is that I am glad that I have long since moved on from the middle school (and high school) scene.

I, as well, am so glad I will never have to return to middle school. I've repressed most of the memories, anyway! Congrats to your sister.
