Getting Ready For The Big Leagues

Middle school seemed like such a scary experience in sixth grade. Just looking at all the kids who were so much bigger than me. Especially for me being one of the shortest in my sixth grade class. Although I had some small sort of sense of what sort of obstacles lie in my way in middle school from seeing my brother go through it himself, who is now a freshmen in college. But I had not even begun thinking about what was beyond middle school.

Three long years have passed since then. Now what is beyond middle school is becoming a reality. Being an eighth grader has its perks but all that is going away next year when going into highschool. I'm not particularly excited for the move but it had to happen sometime! Some things do come out to be proven effective in this situation, such as getting college credits for classes. Yes! Classes are actually worthwhile for once in a great while. Also, I'm looking forward to see friends that I have that have already made the move to high school. But as I foresaw, there are some things that come out negative in this situation. Such as the problem of having classes all the way across the school from one another. If I thought walking from Orchestra to Publications was a tough, this is a whole new ballgame. Though in all due respect, I will miss Sunridge in some aspects. Such as the teachers I have been with these three years. Also, smaller lunches will be missed immensely. But I am ready for the freedom of choosing where I go to lunch on my own accord. But to sum things up, I will miss the middle school as I finish another step in my life. Come at me high school!
