came to KIPP during the middle of my 8th grade year. From the moment I stepped foot into KIPP Academy Middle School‚ I absolutely hated it. I was used to something completely different to what I had just arrived to: from the school size‚ the students‚ and the teachers. I felt like I was in a whole different world.

Memories That Influence Beliefs ”It’s surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time”‚ said Barbara Kingsolver. A memory may have many meanings to some people‚ but to me it means a lot. Everyone should cherish and remember all your life. Memories are what keep us going when we get down.
