As I sat in the old classroom, I couldn't help but remember the first day of middle school. It feels like it was just yesterday. I had walked into the building, nervous and unsure, clutching my schedule tightly. I had no idea where my next class was or who my friends would be. I remember seeing a group of students laughing together in the hallway, and for a moment, I felt like I didn't belong.

Little did we know, this was just the beginning of a storm that would catch us off guard.
