7th grade is one of the craziest experiences in my life. It has many mixed feelings and has ups and downs. In 7th grade, I began to discover many activities to participate in like choir, UIL, athletics, and encounters. 7th grade is the time of your life when you get to experience how it’s going to be in high school. It has many similar activities to the ones you're going to participate in in high school. As an athlete who plays basketball and volleyball, I loved playing and participating in the games because I personally enjoy those two sports. Throughout the school year, I did pretty well in my classes. I got straight As and Bs, but there still were some struggles I had to overcome. For example, there are some subjects I don't get in class like the civil war, dilations, rotations, and reflections, and sometimes I mess up but I really try to learn from my mistakes and learn from them. Soon as we get closer and closer to the end of the year we learn new things every day and soon a lot of us start to learn and memorize things for our end-of-the-year things like solo ensemble and our star tests. Either way in the end it's worth the wait because after all of the boring things we get to finally have fun and do nothing in classes but just play and for all grades we get to have a fun day.  Also including the kids that are in choir or band, we get to go to the water park to spend time with our friends and make amazing new memories. Most importantly to get ready for the most fun part of the school year is the end when everybody loves summer. In conclusion, life has to be cherished from one moment to the next and there are many things yet to come in the future.
