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. I have made a few friends who have stayed with me for the entire year, learned to tolerate immature, childish actions, and have not felt completely overwhelmed to this date. This year and previous years both had their moments, but I would not change anything that happened because they both helped make me who I am now. I have always been a bit of a loner, and I still am a little. Everyone in Aviston Elementary seemed to form circles of friends, and none of them really shared any interests or activities with me. It always seemed like no one was interested in the things I was interested, or that no one was interested in befriending me. This is because I could be seen as ‘hostile’ at times. I had a tendency to be on edge, as though at any moment I would snap at the littlest thing. I did not mind though because I would much rather focus on my education that petty rumors and gossip. I can not stand immaturity like that, gossip leads to hurt feelings and things that people regret, but I also get annoyed by repetitive, obnoxious noises, and continuous infractions of the simplest rules. All of which were far to common back then, but still occur sometimes this year. It is because of the constant distractions, the people around me, and the fact that I sometimes felt that I didn’t have enough time to complete projects that I felt utterly overwhelmed. I could not focus on my work when given time to do so because everyone around me was an intolerable immature person who would bother me because

In contrast to my elementary school years, where I would mostly spend time alone and not interacting with others, I have met some very amazing people who share the same interests I do and are genuinely eager to talk with me and befriend me. Rather than seem to only want to be with me for a few hours because I am near them, the people I have befriended are the kind of people you could seek out if you are feeling upset or to simply have a nice conversation with. I can not say this about a few of my acquaintances I had back in elementary school. It is because everyone here is older and more mature than before, and definitely less likely to commit childish, rude actions. I have not been overly distracted in any of my classes. Yes, I do get distracted at times. Someone will talk to me and I will respond, however, these distractions only last about a second or two, and then we both get right back to our work afterwards. 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
