In the 7th Grade it was the first time I did not leave school to attend encounters. I was disappointed at first, but it turned out to be the same. Encounters was still fun and interesting, but sometimes I got confused. We worked on our car project every now and then, for they took time to dry. Every year the encounters projects are exciting. For my research I did Michio Suzuki. I learned about the company and the founder.
That year I made and lost many friends. I knew I wasn’t going to have the same friends until I grew up, but I did not expect it to change so fast.
That year the schedule changed from eight periods a day to black and gold days. I did not like that one bit, and I still don’t especially when I have more unnecessary electives to take care of. 7th grade was the first time the school had LOTC, and I ended up being in that class. It was surprisingly fun, for I had three friends in that class and we had the opportunity to talk all the time in that class. That along with Encounters, was one of my favorite classes. My favorite teachers that year were Mr. Skipper and Mr. Mcneese. Mr. Mcneese was laid back, and I talked to him a lot during class. Mr. Skipper is very nice, good at explaining, funny, and he gives a lot of opportunities to learn through his videos and website. Everyone has fun with him, but everyone also knows not to act a fool in his class, with the exception of Suleiman who broke the restroom door last year.
In March I went on spring break, but it never ended until the next school year. This was because of something you may have heard of called Covid-19. At first I wasn’t worried about it and It felt like extra vacation to me, but soon I realized how serious it was through the news and family. Doing work online last year was difficult, for it was something neither me or my teachers were used to. I did not do great with that last year, and I was bummed out about that.
