This project is about my favorite memories growing up. As I think back to middle school years I had forgotten how much fondness I had for them. My head moved on into current affairs but my heart stayed back. This work is a tribute to how I had wanted my career to go and my attempts to course correct that. It is built to be an interactive book which uses numerous website technologies. A big goal of mine was to go against the current social media trend of infinite scrolling. Time is a precious commodity so we shouldn't waste it.

I hope this project gets readers to think about the value of long term goals again like how school had major checkpoints that were measured in quarter and multi-year segments. That type of seasonality is how humans have functioned for thousands of years and produced some incredible work. For that reason I keep returning back to that way of scheduling. The more I consider that way of working I also start remembering other important lessons from that time which I can add into my story.

Over on the right is the list of poems I am working on. They are a mix between free verse and rhyme. I am continuing to revise them by switching these two poetic styles to find what works the best. I recommend reading them in order by clicking the next button at the bottom of each page. Some poems are mini-stories told over a few pages so they make the most sense when read in order.
