Fall DWA

Today a friend of mine started kindergarten, and I started Middle School. I can still remember that one of a kind feeling of waiting for the bus for the very first time. I can only imagine the excitement and anticipation that went into preparing for her very first day of school. Even now, seven years experienced, I still get mixed emotions about starting a new school year. I tend to feel eager, but also timid, especially this year. This was a special first day back because everything has changed. Going from Elementary to Middle School is a giant step, especially because flip flopping classes every hour may take a little getting used to. Although it can be a little hectic running from one class to the next, it’s a much needed change from the usual.

The colorful artwork, “Great Job” projects, the tiny tables and chairs to go with, I can still picture my kindergarten room. As I grow and change, so do my responsibilities. It’s awesome to be able to go back to school everyday and learn something new, yet it’s hard not to yearn for the days when everything was all about having fun. To this day, I find it amazing how far I’ve come since that very first day back in kindergarten. Although I’m really looking forward to growing and maturing as a person through school, there’s always those days where you would give anything just to be a little kid again.
