When I asked my students on the first day of school, "what's the nicest thing you ever did for someone else, " I expected to get simple answers about doing chores or helping siblings. Instead, I was overwhelmed with the generosity demonstrated by the class of 2019. After reading these stories, I knew that our community would want to hear about what MHS students are doing to make Mishawaka better. This book is a compilation of the honest and raw writings I got from students in their first week of 10th grade at MHS.
