Remember Wednesday June 11th

Remember Wednesday is a weekly segment where I reminisce with a song (or songs) that always brings up a particular memory. I invite you all to do the same. For more details on how to play along, read here!

This week’s song is from Aerosmith. “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” always reminds me of my 7th grade year in school. It ranks as probably my favorite year of school. The grades were separated into “clusters” and I was in the cluster with the best teachers, and all my best friends. I had homeroom with everyone I loved to surround myself with! And my favorite teacher–Mr. Douglas. He treated us like adults, and we all loved him for it. Whenever an assembly or other event would be set to interrupt our day, Mr. D would often convince the other teachers to keep us all in homeroom all day instead of changing classes. One of those days we sat in and watched movies all day, lounging on the floor. Armageddon was among them, thus “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” taking me back to that time of my life.
