I can’t wait to start middle school. Starting middle school can be overwhelming where three schools merge together but meeting new people is the only thing on my mind. Middle school is where you expand your group of friends adding more people or stay the same.

I thought they were nice people, always had my back, very

Middle school was a interesting time in my life, much different from grade school for many reasons. Mainly, you had several teachers throughout the day.

Middle School wasn’t all popularity and body odor. Sometimes things could almost be fun. For instance, I remember a student teaching our algebra class. I remember how I used to run cross country, and how in 8th grade the 6th graders used to think we were so cool -- and so did we. Then when we graduated, reality hit and we realized we weren’t. I remember a girl, sitting quietly in the corner of the parking lot. She was using her small hands to wipe away the tears, steadily streaming down her face
