1007 Words5 Pages

It all started when my mom told me this: “David, you are going to spend your eighth grade year at Guilford Middle.” Guilford Middle School, my school prior to Holicong, was considered infamous by the community.

I would not be able to graduate with my friends and never go to school with them ever again.
Right now, my GMS friends are in high school telling me they missed me so much. They told me:

After reading this, I had no other choice but to visit them. During winter break, my family and I went to Greensboro, North Carolina to visit my friends. When I told Amarya and my other pals that I was in NC, they were so excited to meet me. I met with my friends at the mall, and we talked about everything teenagers talk about. I was so delighted I got to meet my soul mates again. I felt reunited with them.
Through GMS, I learned that you have to make the best out of every situation. If I was sent to a notorious school, so what? What matters is how you react to every scenario. I reacted by complaining, which got me nowhere. Every day I regret the moments when I was complaining about GMS. However, when I actually stopped complaining and studied hard, great things returned back to me, like making new friends and getting good grades.

    There it was, standing in the distance, a tall gloomy gray-colored building. With a few splashes of blue paint added to the dull cement to add color to what would otherwise be a lifeless building. This building was non-other than the one and only Stoller Middle School.
