Thinking back to my middle school and high school years I really cherish my time in Stamford. I can think of so many memories, from walking through the hallways after choir and continuing singing with my choir friends all the

 way till we got to our 1st block class, dancing and tumbling to "Don't stop me now" in my grade 8 gymnastics team performance with Stamford Gymnastics. But I think one of my favourite memories was my grade 11 and 12 study blocks, with some friends we formed a small group and almost always sat together to study at the library, and they now continue to be some of my closest friends. We got a lot of studying done during this block, but we also got some time to share our funny moments of the day, if we were feeling stressed about any exams or assignments, and we even recorded short videos that we called our "study blogs". In each video we shared a bit of what we were doing during that study block and the highlights of our week in a very comedic way. I still have a few of them, it's nice to look back and see how even with exam stress we always supported each other and brought some laughter into our busy study schedules.
