June 15, 2018, marked the end of one of the most influential experiences I have had in my 15 years on Earth, and the conclusion of three of the most meaningful years of my life. That was the day I graduated Santa Barbara Middle School. In many ways, SBMS shaped who I am today, as a student and a friend.
The SBMS community has countless sayings that help guide students through their time there. I feel the only way to fully honor their teachings is to use the sayings as the foundation for this article.
Beginnings are important.
