My second year in middle school was different from my first year. It felt very strange, this year was exciting and stressful at the same time. This year I had to focus more on my grades. At the same time, I had to create valuable friendships. I have learned that I should stop procrastinating. Since all my teachers gave me a lot of work, I had to keep up. The fun part of 7th grade was that I made new friends throughout the school year. 

Seventh grade has taught me a lot of things about friendships. During the school year, I noticed the people I should hang out with. Some friends didn't care much about school, and they tried to slack me off school. Luckily I noticed the true friendships that helped me get through 7th grade smoothly. I am very thankful for meeting new people this year. Hopefully, we get the opportunity to keep being friends.

The first weeks of the 7th great didn't go as well. I had a long and hard time, especially in the band and Mr. Skipper's class. This year I felt like the world was going to end. I focused on my grades as much as I could. This year I tried to get all A’s and get fewer B’s compared to last year. Hopefully, I will keep up the same in 8th grade and maybe learn new things and become a better person.

I will never forget the amazing memories I created with my teachers and friends in the seventh grade. I had an amazing time with my friends. My favorite part of seventh grade was that I got the chance to experience new things. For example, I had to learn how to be independent. Mr. Skipper was a nice teacher I met this year. He taught me how to figure out stuff I didn't know. The most important thing I learned is that I should always put effort into school. Overall, I feel like seventh grade will be my favorite year out of all middle school. Seventh grade is the middle of being a kid an
