" You can be for the good, or you can be for the bad. Or you can be miserably in between."

Coming to mideast was a difficult choice to make. When I realized that I could leave my homeschool and come learn a trade, I was sold. At first, I was skeptical about coming to a new school with new people and new experiences. I figured that I would come here and talk to only people I knew from my homeschool. I was wrong because I came and started making new friends the first day. Also, choosing what lab to take was a tough decision. I started to think what i enjoyed doing and I knew I liked working with my hands. I’m not interested in working on cars or climbing poles, fixing air conditioning or doing hair. I like building things with my hands. My

In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…
