9th Grade

Entering my 9th grade year after coming back from COVID was a big adjustment for me. Everything felt different from what I was used to. There were so many new faces which made me feel out of place at times. The environment was also new, and it was hard trying to figure out where I fit in.

At first, it wasn’t the best experience because I had to get used to being around people again after being isolated for so long. I felt nervous walking into classrooms, unsure of how to start conversations or connect with others. It also took time to adjust to the school routine, like staying focused in class, keeping up with assignments, and managing my time.
