Stories are an integral part of human culture. The stories we tell often define how we see ourselves and how we understand the world around us. In this episode of The Library podcast, Thayer Academy Middle School student Arthur Chen tells us a story about the banal and surreal experiences that make up the middle school experience for many students.
