The Lockers

While piling a small salad and crisp apple together on my tray, many friends tease, saying, “Why would you cut weight? Just eat some food!” But I constantly ignore them and remember the set goals, I head to the locker room again.

Have you ever moved in the middle of your eighth grade year? Has it been to a completely different state? That’s what I had to deal with less than a year ago and it was difficult. I left behind family and friends when we left to come here. Friendships were broken and even gained. My family and I were now separated by a state.
