I really enjoyed Eva Kor’s lecture and I felt like I could picture some of the things…
My middle school experience was different than most middle schools around the area, like Eurekas. This had to do with the fact that I lived in Indiana at the time. They were different because my elementary school was K through 5th and my middle school was 6th through 8th. In the beginning of sixth grade, I moved from Wisconsin to Indiana.
