    Although I only had very few friends in the beginning, I made a lot of friends very quickly. Since the middle school I attended was a public school, I was exposed to more people from all different walks of life. It was also during this time period that I started to look at the world in a more critical point of view and notice class discrimination. One of my friends in middle school, named Alexis, really opened my eyes and made me see the world in a different light.…

My years were no different in terms of how miserable I was, but I…

    Starting high school is an overwhelming feeling as it’s the last four years of schooling where it was time to look at my strengths and weaknesses in order not to fail. I never really thought that hanging out with friends would change my focus on school. Although I had every intention to pass all my classes, peer pressure got to me to where school wasn’t important anymore. I wasn’t an A straight student nor was I good at sports, but I never intended to fail any courses. Even though I didn’t pass all my classes, it was the fact that when I failed them, it was my parent’s disappointment where I truly felt like a failure.…

    As our lives go on we often remember the past. Now that Eighth grade is ending I feel like it just started. Two years ago from now I felt sick to my stomach thinking of coming to junior high and growing up. I then found out that I would be attending a school that I had only known 3 people that go there because of new house boundaries. It crushed me to not be able to go to the same school as the kids I had been with since kindergarten.…

    Growing up I was set to believe that high school was going to be difficult for me , and many of my teachers had their doubts that I couldn't move up to the 9th grade. During my years in middle school were possibly the funnest years of my life, but I knew I only had three years till things got really serious. Keeping up with school and focusing on getting into college was all that was told to be on your mind. Many thought I wasn't prepared because of how I acted in the classroom and how I behaved. Having fun and being with my friends was all that had been on my mind.…

    We all listened to the same bands, loved the same teen heartthrob, and all had a similar personality. It took losing a core group of friends of mine transitioning into freshman year to show me that it’s okay to be your own person. I will say freshman year was a huge struggle for me to go through without being friends with the people that I had grown closest to in the 8th grade and years prior to 9th grade, but in the long run it has benefitted me more than I could have ever imagined that year. I now am not afraid to be alone sometimes and not always hang out with a group of people or one person every weekend. I’m okay with spending time by myself just relaxing in my room or grabbing some lunch at bread co by myself when I can.…
