Giving advice is something that can be helpful to a lot of people. Most upcoming sixth and seventh graders could be scared about going into the next upcoming grade. So I have gone around and asked some eight graders to see if they have any advice for the upcoming grades.

First, eighth grader Karis Kennedy. I asked her if she had three things of advice that could help the upcoming grades. Her first piece of advice was to make sure you get all your homework done and turn it in on time. She also said to try out for school sports because it is a great way to hang out with your friends. Lastly she said try and make new friends. Talk to people that you don't know and try to talk to people you have never talked to before.

Next, eighth grader Emma Sadler. She said that one piece of advice was to always get your work turned in so that you don’t miss out on any fun days we have at school. She said that it is never fun to not be able to go hang out with your friends all day. She also said try not to miss any days because it can maybe hold you accountable for not being able to do fun trips with the school. Lastly she said to not disrespect your teachers. She said that you do not want to disrespect your teachers because it could make them not so happy with you and it could leave you with a bad result.

Lastly, eighth grader Darby Mcalister. She said that her first piece of advice is don’t act like someone you're not. She said to always be yourself and don’t change for anyone. Then Darby said to pay attention in class and don’t waste time on doing non-productive things. She said not to be so focused on your work that you become too stressed. She said to always take your time and take breaks in between if you need to.

Giving advice is something very helpful for a lot of people and I think that everyone gave very good advice. Just giving something simple could be very helpful to the upcoming grades that may not know some things that they may be worried about. I think that everyone should be comfortable in what they are doing and having advice from the people around them could make them feel more comfortable and maybe help them become less stressed.

Sarah Ford made a sculpture of what she feels and it is divided into two one half of it is yellow and it means happy and excited. When it is yellow that means she is happy and she is having a good day and she is confident to do whatever she wants and the other half is black for when she feels sad or when she feels like she can’t do anything and she feels like she doesn’t matter in the world . She made this sculpture to describe her life and what goes on in her everyday life Sarah said she this sculpture describes her life in so many ways.

The end of the school year is getting closer and closer! Our middle school does their best to make school fun so students are able to have good memories once they move into the next grade or into high school. One of my favorite memories from my eighth grade year would be doing cheer and track. School sports are an amazing way to make memories and meet new people, so if you aren’t involved in school sports I totally recommend them! Going to different school events is also an amazing way to have fun and make memories with your friends. Today students and teachers of DMS told me some of their favorite memories from this school year!

Eighth grade teacher Mrs. Warren was the first to share some of her favorite memories from this year with me. When asked what her favorite memory was she stated, “Watching the utopia projects. All of the students and groups had such unique and detailed utopias. It was fun to watch all of the mind and ideas pull together to make new worlds.” Other eighth grade students would have to agree with her! The Utopia project was an amazing way to use your imagination to create a new world. Mrs. Warren also shared her most embarrassing memory from this school year with me, “My most embarrassing memory would be my advisory class losing the first round in all of the tournaments so far.”

Next, eighth grader Conner Hill told me about some of his most memorable moments from his eighth grade year! When asked what memory from this school year Conner wants to go back and relive he responded with, “Going back to football once we finished our 6-0 season” I’m sure the rest of the football team could agree! They had an amazing season and they were undefeated! Conner was also asked what his favorite memory from school sports was and he said, “I enjoy the bus rides because they are very fun and I enjoy hanging out with my teammates.”

Our middle school is an amazing place to make memories. Whether it is on a sports team, at lunch, or in a classroom everyone has something they can remember from their middle school years. Memories are an amazing thing to look back on whenever you move onto the next chapter of your life, they help you remember how much fun you’ve had and what fun is to come! So don’t forget to make some memories, because your middle school years will be over before you know it!
