"I decided this summer I didn't like who I was." Everyone has stories about middle school- Embarrassing things they said, Clumsy things they did, Terrible decisions they made, Bad haircuts and poor clothing choices. But there are good parts, too: More freedom, New friends, First jobs, First loves. "Lessons Learned" is a collection of poetry celebrating the highs, lows, and in-betweens of being in middle school.
