These experiences have served me well throughout high school, but…

Throughout life many people grow up into brilliant young adults, but often times they do not realize the importance of their childhood. When I look at the future, I cherish the moments that have impacted my life throughout Wall Elementary because without these moments I would not be where I am today. I remember when I walked into kindergarten for the very first time, like it was yesterday, and Mrs. Kissko was waiting to meet all of her students for the new year. I was nervous and excited to…
