Middle school

eighth grade is the final year of middle school, meaning that I have to go to high school next year. I'm honestly expecting high school to be a lot harder and frustrating, but hopefully I can power through it.

Middle school was a good experience in my book, but it's really just middle school. My favourite thing during middle school was simply reading books in…

Sometimes what hurts the most, is knowing the inevitable. It was during the warm summer days in the middle of August. School had just started back up and I was venturing on into the fifth grade. It was just your average elementary school year, getting ready to transition into middle school. But what I happen to remember most prominently, is the day after my sister's birthday. My parents happened to be split up, not divorced. So like most parents, they split the time they got with my sister and…

Middle school is the toughest school to go through both mentally and socially. People often dread going through middle school, or as my parents call it junior high, because at that time, people are in the balance between childhood and adult hood.

Then out of the blue, I notice a yellow blob swerving towards me…

My biggest challenge in the middle school was my introvert nature. I was good in sports and academics, I even excelled in extracurricular activities but I was always working behind the scene. I was shy to lead or present my ideas. This led to a situation that prompted me to work hard to shed my shyness. In the 8th grade I had worked alone for the whole school year forgoing weekend fun with friends to design and build the model for the robotics competition. I also spent my time learning web…

ready to make that big commitment. I stayed with the flow of girls that decided to do volleyball too and went with it. I am super proud of my decision, because to this day, I know I would have regretted if I didn’t do it.
