Treading The Current
I see a river which is clear as glass on a winter morning and reflects what is around it. It is deep, but by looking at it most people think it is shallow and unchanged. I feel like that river. Most people look at me and believe I am bratty or they think that my parents give me anything I want, instead of realizing how deep my thoughts and actions are. Many new classmates think that I am hard to talk to, because I walk around with a straight face. I also mirror my friends, especially in actions and thoughts, just as the river mirrors its surroundings. As the river moves downstream I feel myself change. I also experience new ideas and I start to understand the world’s problems. My innocence is lost as I learn about wars, …show more content…
I am more comfortable in my skin and I wave at some of my friends as I walk to my locker. My long hair has started to darken, but it still has natural sun bleached highlights through it. All through the summer I grew in height and started to mature. My childish frame has started to become more willowy as I fill out. I also start to wear more makeup which makes me look more like a high schooler then an eighth grader. Instead of running to my classes like freshman year, I speed walk with a few of my friends.

I experience being a leader for strides which helps me meet new people from the older grades and start to build my leadership skills. At the end of this year I start to talk less about activities and pranks I want to do and more on different majors for college.

Throughout the year, I practice refraining myself from speaking on every opinion that I have on controversial topics. I learn to defend and give support to my opinions when we debate in economics. All through sophomore year I grow and mature through my thoughts and …show more content…
I hold my head high and I am confident where all the classes are in the school. My dark brown hair is just touching my shoulders and is straightened to perfection. I wear winged eyeliner and multiple shades of eyeshadow, which makes me look older then what I am. I walk to almost all my classes with Sydney Brown and Sarah Knight. At the start of school I have turned into one of the role models for the incoming freshman. All of the nerves that I felt as a freshman are gone, I am confident in myself and in my friend group. All through the summer I have grown up making me more of an adult then a teenager. I have grown in my thoughts by thinking ahead in my life; by the start of school I have already looked at multiple colleges and picked my major as business management and marketing. My junior year is a major time for my thoughts to change from childish to
