Middle School Is Gone Forever...

Middle School is over and history now, only a memory. But while we were there it was pretty awesome, an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Going into the different atmosphere, I will admit, 7th grade year I was pretty scared those first couple of days. I mean what a change going from little protected grade school to something totally, and completely, different. Where your teachers only cared about half as much as the used to, or so I thought. It turned out to be Mrs. Knepler, Mrs. Tribble, Mrs. Bellas, and Mr. Morris proved me wrong, they could not have cared more deeply about us and how our 7th grade year turned out to be.
Summertime made basically everyone harsh, people’s ego blew up bigger than expected,a dn that would have been okay if it only would have been one or two people that it happened to, but it wasn’t. Eighth grade turned into a little bit more of a… change. Instead of having separate ‘teams’ like O, M and S it became team S and team S.5. And everything, I mean everything changed. Forever. People began to see the flaws in other people, even best friends grew apart because of pathetic reasons, like boys or other girls, or just because they weren’t cool enough anymore. Basically, from day 1 everything was a struggle. For everyone, it was hard. But we finally, realized that as high school approached we were never going to get these middle school years back again. And we changed every single one of us. People let go of bad feelings and moved on. We took this giant leap into high school hand-in-hand and I wouldn’t have been able to do it any other way. Were all pretty good friends again, and I couldn’t be happier.

Alissa,
I liked this entry a lot because it tells how you felt about everyone and how everyone changed and what not. There was also a lot of detail explaining what happened and why it happened. You are a very good writer! I can't wait to read your other blogs.
