What was Middle School / 6-8 grade like in Nigeria and what advice would you give to kids in 6-8th grade ?
Middle school while I was growing up in Nigeria was similar to the experience you guys have today . There is excitement about no longer being in elementary school but at the same time some anxiety about the future and growing up . I ' m grateful for the influence of godly teachers that helped answer my questions and pointed me in the right direction . This is also my advice to you guys- always reach out to an understanding grown-up in your life to help answer some of those questions you have . It ' s okay not to know , just ask ! And remember to put God first in everything ! He cares for us !
Looking back what advice would you give your self growing up ?
Looking back , the one thing I ' d say to my younger self is ' stop worrying so much !' God ' s got you ! And His plans for you are beyond your wildest dreams ! You can ' t love yourself more than He loves you !
