This is my first year of high school, and so far I am enjoying this year more than any of my previous years in elementary school at Aviston Elementary. In the past years, I was a stressed out loner who was easily annoyed by everything and could not get long-term projects done without having a melt down at some point. However, in this year that has changed.

These are the interruptions I can handle, not the constant drone of multiple people trying to imitate barnyard animals. In addition to having a circle of friends and having more tolerable distractions, I have not felt entirely overwhelmed by projects and work that takes long time to complete. Unlike in past years when I felt like I could not get the work I wanted to get done finished in class, I feel like I can complete as much, sometimes more, work
