Whether it’s your teeth, your chest hair, or your inexplicable swanitude, what seems like a deficiency can end up being your biggest strength. Seems we’re all Ugly Ducklings, in the end. But back in 1993, the boys graduate from 6th grade, get some awards, go to the beach, watch the news, and see a movie about dinosaurs. Jedediah’s Mom talks about Alabama, Jedediah’s Dad talks about fatherhood, and Torrey’s Mom talks about his awards.

Week 25: June 19–25, 1993

25 years ago, a 12-year-old boy kept a diary. He wrote in it every single day of the year 1993. This year – 2018 – that boy is a 37-year-old man, and he's going through that diary, week by week, to see how he's different, how he's the same, and what we can learn by figuring out who we used to be.
