So my middle school experience was probably the most "typical" middle school experience i guess you could say. I went to public. Delta woods middle school.... for the most part you have gone to school with theses people since pre-school. It had a lot of kids but everyone pretty much no everyone at least in the class.Of course there was classic drama and probably more than every school combined. I hated the school. Dreaded going there and complained about it on a daily basis, but when it came time to leave Delta. I BAWLED my eyes out along with my best friends. We cried because along with two other people I was leaving to go on to bigger and better things. I remember thinking about how fast the three years had gone by, and that this would be the last time i would see a lot of my favorite people. Aside from all of the complaining and all of the horrible teachers and rules, on that day, I realized that was probably my favorite place. I knew everyone and had my best friends. Yes i could say specific things i want to remember but honestly i want to remember about middle school, but honestly i want to remember everything about it.
I remember my 6th grade year when we came back after winter break we got like 5 new students. One of them being one of the more "popular" people. She came in a Bob Marley T-shirt and ripped jeans. I vividly remember probably the most popular girl in the school saying she looks cool we should let her be our friend.
Big mistake.
She was a sweet girl don't get me wrong, but once she got to the top of the hierarchy she dropped all of us and stopped talking to us. She used it to get close to the guys and that all went bad. No one had a problem with her until 8th grade year. She was never mean she was always nice but we couldn't help but feeling used within good reason.
I didn't really try any different personalities in middle school. I was always kind of shy to new strangers unless i had something to talk to them about. I was athletic, smart, and funny. No real change from who i truly was. High school is a different story. i came in knowing 2 other people from school and my dance team( one of them being one of the two girls from my grade school) we weren't super close but we were all friends. I knew i couldn't just rely on the ten freshman i knew to be my friends for all of freshman year. So when i got to Sion i had to try and stop being so shy and start being socially active. It was EXTREMELY hard to make friends at first. I actually cried for about the first week. Not because i missed my old friends just because i wanted to make new friends SO bad, and i just couldn't. Thankfully everybody kind of opened up to everyone and then it was a lot easier to just talk to someone without being scared that they were going to judge you.
