I was in the third grade and I was going to just start at a new school called Vista Del Sur. I have never changed or moved to a different school before. I was so scared because I loved my old school and I had so many cool friends. My old school everyone loved me, I was accepted, I had people to talk to, I wasn’t alone all the time. The same year changing schools I went to summer camp and meet a girl by the name Emily. I found out that we were going to go to the same school and we became best friends. I have always stayed with Emily forever, she was my pal, and I would do nothing to trade her for the world. Over a few years things started to get really hard, we both started to get bullied. When Emily and I were little we thought that telling the teacher when a kid did something that was bad, was a good idea….but it wasn’t. I would come home crying, I would always say that I am not good enough or that I am not perfect, when they were doing the wrong thing the entire time. In my head I was like “what did I ever do wrong to these people that would make them not like me?” I have stayed at Vista until the eighth grade and people finally started to be nice to us. I was finally somewhat happy because I started to get friends that I thought I was never going to get. But to this day which I am in ninth grade I look back at those times and just see how much I have changed and learned. I have learned that I always have to think of how are my actions going to affect the world and the people around me.
