Excited but nervous about starting middle school

In eight weeks’ time I am graduating from primary school. I feel excited yet a bit scared because teachers won’t help me like they do in primary. Everything will be different, no more personal attention from the teacher and no more “I forgot my homework” excuses. I feel like opening a new chapter of my life, I think I’m ready to discover the secrets of the world alone. Although I feel like I’m letting go of everything, it’s only entering middle school, which isn’t a big deal compared to other things we are going to meet in life.

Leaving my friends and leaving the place where I stayed for five years, leaving all those memories behind, I can’t help but feel attached to this place. I walked through the cafeteria about a thousand times, I borrowed all the Harry Potter books from the library three times. Everything is so familiar, I know this place so well and I will have to leave it forever. This is hard, but flipping to a new page to another period of my life is great, too.

Starting fresh and doing more challenging things than what I have done expands my experience with life’s dangers and wonders. There will be crying and laughing, all mixed emotions. However, people will thank others, congratulate them, and tell them how much they will miss them. Well, I know one thing for sure — I’m going to miss SUIS so much.
