During the summer of 2015, I was quite nervous about grade 7. I knew that the expectations were higher, and that I would need to organize my time better. I had a great summer, but soon, it was over. When I woke up, I had a feeling of dread. Summer was over. So, I got my bag ready, and headed out. My plan was to walk to my friend Malcolm’s house, and take the city bus to Glashan Public school. I went out my front door and began to walk. As I walked, I thought about who would be my teachers? How much homework would I have? I was pretty nervous. As I thought, I looked around at the trees, the trees leaves had turned different shades of yellow and orange. It has always stunned me to look out at the leaves, and the trees and the different features …show more content…

The bus stop was small, and had no shelter or bench or anything, just a simple sign. While we waited for the bus, we chatted a bit. I hadn’t seen Malcolm for a while, so we had a lot to say. When the bus finally came, we each walked up onto the bus and used our presto cards to get onto the bus. The bus route was fairly simple, and we mostly just chatted on the way, getting caught up on what was going on in each other’s lives. I gulped as I stepped down from the bus, it was almost the start of school. I walked up the sidewalk to the school yard, thinking about how many people in my class I would know. We entered the school through an open fence, and walked down a straight area with benches on either side. This passage lead to the main part of the yard.

There didn’t seem to be too many people, until I turned the corner and saw a giant mass of students near the door, lining up and getting organized. Once I got to the class that I was in, I began to recognize many, many people that I knew! In fact, my whole class except for 2 people I

In this section, the frog represents my mental, as well as my physical state during the summer of 2017. In my drawing, the frog is just sitting there, surviving off the occasional bugs that fly by, drifting comfortably with the slow, calm currents. In this pond, it is from harm and provided everything that I need and want with little to No work required or expected of it. In its laziness, the frog is inevitably pulled in by reality towards the waterfall that leads into a different ecosystem. Similar to this, as the end of summer came to an end, the almost uncontrollable fate of becoming a 7th grader was becoming more and more real to

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. I never referred to it as a middle school but more as a prison, it was full of rules that were put in place just to suck away any possible fun from a child’s mind. Maybe I didn’t like the place because I was suspended five times from it.

At first I thought it was because he was alone and did not talk much. However, it turned to be because I was so overwhelmed by all this friendliness that everybody forgot about him. I could have gone to him and introduced him to everybody
