Middle School Ends by Rachel

I was afraid to go to middle school because I knew that I wouldn’t know many people there. But I was also exited because I knew that I would make even more friends. Going from Elkhorn to ESMS was a huge step going from a small school to a larger school. During the first few weeks of school every thing was kinda stressful because I only had 1 to 2 kids that I knew in each class. Which in that case I became closer to some of the kids that I knew before but didn’t really hang out with them. During 6th grade was the grade where I lost the most friends but also gained more friends then lost. What made 6th grade less stressful was the teacher because they understood that many kids would be frightened.  

    Personally I believe that 7th grade was the best year.  Because you already know what to expect out of ESMS and it brings together the friends you made in 6th grade and causes you to be even closer with them. Another upside to 7th grade is  you can choose your electives for the first time in middle school. What I enjoy most about my 7th grade year was I had most of my classes with my close friends. Which made projects and school so much fun and easier.

   My 8th grade year was truly special because for my elective I was picked as a techspert.  which has been so much fun and nice seeing the things we get to make and setup. This year has also been special because not only has are teachers Miss.Blair, Mrs.Lauck, Mr.Finley, and Mr. Broadbent helped us learned the thing we needed for 8th grade, but they have also teach  us how to go up to the high school and be successful students.

Tips for 8th grade

• Make sure to do the work that you get that day because work can pile up fast.
• Make sure to not stand in large groups in the hall because other people are trying to get to class
• Make sure you use your time wisely during passing time
