I had been at Lorton Station since I was 5 years old. I've loved all the classes I took, my peers, and my teachers. My favorite part about Lorton Station was the diversity and the library. I loved how expressive we were allowed to be. My worst thing about Lorton Station would probably be the amount of bullying there was.
