I was looking through some really old school documents on my computer and ran into an article and a poem that I wrote for my school newspaper when I was in 8th grade. They're dated May 6, 2006 and they're both about starting high school. Anyway, they made me chuckle, so enjoy.
HIGH SCHOOL (Now is your Cue to Run and Hide.)
Looking forward to new opportunies and adventures in high school? You’re not alone! Many eight graders can’t wait to get off to a fresh start next year as they progress from middle school to high school. Others, however, might be afraid or unsure. Perhaps you want to know whether you’ll make any friends or whether you will fit in. Maybe you’re scared of getting lost. For those of you who are afraid, I want you to think back to fifth grade. You were nervous about starting middle school then! See where you are now? You made it just fine! You learned your way around, made friends, adopted to the schedule, and maybe you even managed to get good grades and stay out of trouble. So, I’m sure that it will be the same thing, and from reference from high schoolers, it is. Of course it’s natural to be nervous, but keep your head held high and your faith in yourself, and no one will be able to wear you down. It might be hard, but together, all us eighth graders can make it next year with a smile on our faces.
My hands, they shake
As walk through the halls,
New faces all ‘round
Till near, a voice calls.
I hear someone yell
My name very loud.
I turn ‘round to see a
Familiar face in the crowd.
My friend joins my side,
And we talk about school.
How its going for us,
The boys that are cool.
Though some things are weird
Uneasy or strange,
I realize contentedly
Some things never change.
God bless.
