The bus ride in the morning to North Stanly Middle School is my time to finish any homework that I did not do the night before and to hear about all the news that is happening at the middle school. As the bus stops at my middle school, I race to the gym to find my friends because I have the latest gossip news for them to hear. Today, is the due date for a big final project in 6th grade. This is one of the times in which I felt so proud of my project because it wowed all of my teachers and I got an A on it. On this project I had to make something that makes me proud of North Stanly Middle School and I was proud of our mascot because it was a Comet.
