Elementary and middle school was a very interesting experience for me. The school I attended from kindergarten to 8th grade was a diverse school. I had a lot of ups and downs while going there.

Final Draft My elementary and middle school years were excellent. I got good grades, on time to class everyday, never talked back to the teachers. I was the perfect student. But all that changed when 8th grade arrive, I had to move schools and for me that was a big deal because moving means adjusting to the environment all over again. That was going to be a major challenge for me since I was very quiet and I kept everything to myself. When that day came, the first day of school, everything fell
The art teacher stepped aside, letting the adolescent boy and preteen girl walk onto the stage. Students, teachers, and parents watched the pair, clapping and cheering at the familiar names.

Moving from elementary school to middle school taught me many new characteristics such as how to be more independent, responsible, and more open to changes. I learned to be far more independent when I switched from attending elementary school to middle school. I was expected to do many new things on my own such as keeping track of assignments.

since school required mandatory reading, I perceived books as hassles. School effectively turned me off of reading for pleasure.

However, whenever someone asked me if I enjoyed writing, my answer was always yes. I spent time in elementary school writing on my own; I found it to be a great creative outlet as well as a stress reliever. I know, you’re probably wondering how much stress could I have had at seven or eight years old. You’d be surprised. Anyway, that’s not the point of this letter.
