In middle school I remember swarms of students moving down a hallway, all carrying the same brand of backpack. Tables segregated by sports team. The pointedly different kids who appeared to be making a statement. Mind you they were all very similar as well. I remember having a passionate desire to fit in during middle-school-junior-high, to be just like everyone else. At the same time I wanted to be unique. how difficult. But as I gaze around the commons, it is easy to see groups intermingling, this is high school and I love it.
