We are pathetic and starving...but mostly pathetic. Let us in!

First post. First year at GACS.

Junior High. I seem to have found where I was meant to be...7th grade. Why didn't I do this years ago? I think I was so afraid to make the jump from elementary school to middle school. And honestly, I don't know that I would appreciate it as much as I do now.

And who would want to...really? Attitude, hormones, and social awareness dominates life here. These things are coupled with grace, naivety, and lots of humor. The combination creates a wonderfully fun and real environment. Real because we are going through life together and fun because it you can't laugh, what's the point?

I already love these kids and their gifts. Thank you, God, for giving me this incredible opportunity.
