7th grade

7th Grade!

Middle school means, well, your stuck in the middle. Sometimes it can be confusing, because your not all care-free (like elementary school) but, your not as independent (like high school). Your Just gliding along, trying to survive and find out who you are. Middle school is when you decide who you are. I am in 7th grade. So, truely, I am stuck in the middle of middle school. There are highs and lows to any school year. I am here to share with you all the highs and lows of my middle of middle school year! I have had a great year! I am sad to see it end (sorta). But, the school year ending means that summer is Just around the corner! And, as you already know, I love summer! One of the biggest and best things of middle school are friends! I love all of my friends! Friends are amazing! All my friends aren't Just my friends, they are like my brothers and sisters! But one bad thing that tags along with having friends is all the drama! Drama is no fun! But, since we are all human, its impossible to avoid! Most of the middle school drama fights are stupid and pointless (in my opinion). Middle school is a great place to have fun with friends. Sports are Just another wonderful thing about middle school! This year, I played Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball. These are by far my 3 favorite sports. Sports are a great way to spend extra time with all your friends! But in order to play sports, you must have good grades. Grades are definitely one of the lows of my 7th grade year! In my opinion, grades are just extra stress put on students. My grades this year... weren't the best. Grades are just an unneeded stress put on us students. Another high of my 7th grade year is all the extra activities. Like sports games, Cici's nights, the play, the dinner theater, and the Gala! Events like these are so much fun because they support your school and you can be with all your school friends. I have had so many good things about my school year and so very few things bad about my year. But, since I have to choose, (thanks Mrs. Anzures for making me remember all the bad things as well:) my 3rd low would have to be having to wear a dumb uniform! I think that the school is preventing us from expressing ourselves because God made us all different with a different personality, and as a christian school we should be encouraged to express who we really are. So, most of my 7th grade year was amazing! Except for those three minor lows. But, hey! Life isn't perfect!

The best thing about my 7th grade year was all of my amazing friends!!! I love all my friends! They are like my family! I have many friends, and I know they will always have my back no matter what. I can always trust them. When I am going through a hard time or dealing with some stuff I can always talk to them and I know they will have my back. They are like my family. I am always with them, out of school and in school. When my friends and I are together we always have the best time! Most of the time, we act like idiots! But thats ok, because we always have fun! My friends and I always find something fun to do. If we are bored at my house or their house, we will BLAST the music and dance like crazy around the house, or what me and my friend Kelsi did is we walked down the street blasting our ipods and dancing like a maniac! My friends are the best! We never are bored! We can always to find something fun to do. Some of the things we like to do are going to the river, dancing, singing (I'm not very good), going to the mall and meeting random people, playing sports, going shopping, going to church, or just hanging out. During my 7th grade year, I have made so many new friends! I have so many friends and I love them all. My best friend's name is Kelsi! We always have fun together! I know I said that drama is unavoidable, but me and Kelsi have NEVER gotten in a fight! I have so many friends at this school and out of school, so I always have a friend to hang out with. I don't know what I would do with out my friends. They have helped me through a lot of tough times, they are always there to give me advice or if I ever need to talk I know I can count on my friends. Friends are what makes the world go round!! Think about it, where would we be with out our friends? It would be miserable! We would be bored 24/7, we couldn't talk to anyone about anything, and we wouldn't be happy! My friends always know how to cheer me up! I am at my happiest when I'm having fun with my friends, I think the best time I have had with my friends is when we are just together!! I can't really remember a specific time that was the most fun! Their are too many!!

My 7th grade year has been amazing!!! So I hate to have to think about the negative things about it, but since I have to, one of the lows of 7th grade is all the drama!!! Drama is mostly pointless and stupid. Nobody is perfect though, so drama can't be avoided. There will always be disagreements throughout your life, even in middle school. Most of middle school arguments are for no good reason but girls and gossiping causes it all. Gossiping and lying has been proven to ruin a friendship (I would know). All the drama is mostly caused by rediculous rumors. Rumors are spread by pathetic people who are insecure about themselves and need to spread rumors about other people to feel good about themselves (not to be mean, but its true). Since we are at a small school, rumors spread like a wild fire, and there are no stopping it! Plus, the rumors get al twisted and mixed up into this rediculous story! Rumors inform me things about myself that i never knew!! Its amazing how much a story can be changed while traveling through the halls of school. Like that child game telephone, that game proves that things get changed and twisted so easily! Rumors are just one of those things that we all hate, and all know their stupid, but they are still spread. I hate to fight with my friends, because I love my friends! Fighting is no fun, but just like any other school year, there was drama. I wish that we could just all get along and not fight about stupid things, but some people just don't get it! They get caught up in anger or revenge that they cause a ton of drama. Even though we fight, in the end we forgive each other and put all the little things behind us, because nothing can ruin our friendship.

This year I had a blast playing my 3 favorite sports! Volleyball was first this year! It was a ton of fun!! Even though we didn't win much it was still fun. I do wish we could have won more, but winning isn't everything! It was a great way to spend time with my friends outside of school. I have never played volleyball up until this year, I have learned alot and its now one of my favorite sports! I am so glad I got a chance to try something new this year because it turned out I loved it! I have had so many great mamories while playing volleyball. After volleyball season was over, basketball came!! Basketball was great! I have played basketball for a while. I love basketball, but not quiet as much as volleyball. Basketball was great! We won about 3 games? I think it was 3, we won more than we did in volleyball and it was a blast!!! Basketball was yet another chance to spend time with my amazing friends! Then, after the best season of basketball ever, came softball!!! Honestly, I never imagined myself playing softball. It is the first year for our school to have a softball team and I am proud to be apart of it!!! It turns out that softball is my favorite sport! I am so glad I decided to play!! I play 3rd base and I absolutely love it!!

Sports are just another great thing about middle school! But in order to play sports, you must have good grades. My grades this year weren't the best. In my opionion, grades are just extra stress put on students. Its just a way for the world to squeze us all in the same lil box, because maybe some people aren't the best at math but they are really good at writing and they want to be an author when they grow up. A perfectly practical career that doesn't involve math at all, and you can still make money off of it. God gives us all different gifts and we shouldn't be held back just because God gave us a gift in writing rather than math, well thats just my opionion on the matter! I think that grades and homework is all just and uneeded stress put on students! Plus, the homework our teachers give us is rediculuos! Grades and homework is one of the biggest lows of not just 7th grade, but school in general!

The 3rd high of my seventh grade year is all the extra activities! For example, the Chili olympics!! The Chili olympics was a blast! To make it even better, it was held on my birthday, October 22! The games and rides were amazing and to top it all off the food was delicious! I loved hanging out with my friends that night! Another thing we did this year that was fun was we went to all the highschool basketball games! Those were a blast (even though we never really watched them)! Pus, the Cici's night were fun! It gave me a chance to hang out with all my friends while eating pizza!! Another thing that was fun this year was the Gala! The Gala was held at the civic center this year and I got to play games and run around with my crazy friends all night!!!! Recently I was doing make-up for the school play (The Wizard Of Oz) and me and my friends were doing make up. It was so much fun!! When we werent doing make up, we were just talking and spending time with eachother. We also go to miss a day of school! I got to spend the night at one of my best friend's house! Her name is Kristin Hazel!! We had a blast!! This year has been so much fun!!

The 3rd low of my 7th grade year is the fact that we have to wear a uniform! I would constantly get in trouble for wearing the wrong shoes or my tank top showing or something stupid like that. I think that we shouldn't have to wear a uniform, because the uniform is just something that keeps us from expressing our selves, because lets say someone likes to wear a bright color like yellow instead of a dark color like navy blue. Everybody is different because God made us all different, and as a christian school I think we should be encouraged to express our selves and show off what God made us to be like. I was sick of getting in trouble day in and day out for simply expressing who I am.

Over all my 7th grade year was amazing!! Except those 3 small lows of 7th grade, all the drama, the stressful grades and homework, and the dreadful uniform! Those three lows are no comparison to my amazing friends, the sports I played, and all the extra activities!! My 7th grade year is deffinatly a year I will never forget!! I have so many memories tied into my 7th grade year!
