Welcome to Middle School! by Eddy Min
If you are in your first year of middle school, it could get really intimidating. Everything is different from before, schedules are totally different, classes are not all in one room, and the teachers will vary. However, middle school is actually not that bad, and can be beneficial for you.
How is Middle School‘ Good’?
Firstly, middle school allows you to interact with other groups of people, because you are taught with different people in each class. This can build up your communication skill and increase the amount of friend you have. If you are shy and don’ t want to interact with new people, don’ t worry, because there are classes that only have 2 people and you sure have to interact with them at some point. For example, my business class has 4 students total, while my science class has 16. Second of all, you will gain a lot of independence and responsibilities throughout middle school. This means that you oversee and take care of yourself, not the teachers. For example, you get to independently go to class on time by yourself or with your friends and have the responsibility to take care of your class materials. This will help grow your social skills for when you become an adult. However, gaining freedom and your independence does not mean you can do whatever you want, because there are certain rules that restrict you from inappropriate, unethical behavior.
