December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day
As ironic as it may seem, this post has little to do with Pearl Harbor Day, not that I mean to belittle the day, or men and women who died. But Pearl Harbor Day reminds me of the 7th grade, and not for the obvious traumatic and war-like reasons that you might infer.
Seventh grade was the beginning of middle school in the district in which I grew up and the beginning of middle school ranks high in my list of worst years of my life, with one grand exception: Mrs. Weeks.
