Everything's Changing Now

I arrived to Mackenzie’s house where I awaited Eileen and Tommy’s arrival, we were walking to school together. “I can’t believe we’re going to high school, I’m so nervous,” I exclaimed! “I know, me too,” replied Mackenzie. I thought about the times when I was just a child in elementary school, when things were so simple. As simple as getting mad about someone cutting in front of you or stealing your seat. Middle School was when it really changed, but high school is a whole different ball game. I had been to Stevenson for the plays and concerts my brother was in and when I just passed by the building. Now my brothers graduated and I’m the high school student walking down the hall.

As we arrived to Stevenson we all anxiously walked through the entrance and parted to our lockers. The bells kind of confused me though because I didn’t really know about the warning bells at first, so it startled me and I was freaking out that I was late until I finally got it down pat. Unfortunately I didn’t have any friends in my 1st hour and I‘m not really one to approach new people. Although math isn’t really my thing, my math teacher was very friendly and kind so I knew right then that math would be made a little easier.

I sat down in my newly assigned seat in the 2nd row last seat when all the sudden something was bothering me. My back started to hurt, I tried shifting in chair a few times but it wasn’t working. The structure of the chair must have triggered my back problems. The pain felt like a ton of bricks on my back that couldn’t be lifted. The bell rings and the class ends, I don’t know how the rest of the day will turn out but I already assumed it will be pretty boring considering all you do is go over rules and guidelines.

As the end of the day rolls around I am so overwhelmed by the amount and type of work I will be doing this year. Though my work habits could use some improvement, my goal is to get straight A’s. Everything is changing now and its up to me whether high school will be a good or bad experience.
