Each week, Heart of the Hallway features a personal insight from a randomly selected Annie Wright Upper Schooler.

Lauren Leeden, senior

I can sing the entire Three Days Grace album. I learned it because the love of my life in 6th grade showed me the song “Over and Over” and told me that was how he felt about me. We fell in love and dated for all of 6th grade. I learned the rest of the album to impress him and then I ended up loving it. I still listen to it a lot in the long car rides to and from school and sing along. I had lived a really sheltered life and was a really happy little kid and he was so dark and maybe that’s what drew me to him. He was too smart- he got life before anybody else understood it. Last summer he took his own life.
