Becoming a Freshman

I'm gonna be a freshman. I know sounds crazy right? It feels like yesterday i was just becoming a 7th grader. I doubt i'm ready for 9th grade but i dont think im gonna get any more prepared. I don't really know a way to become more prepared. I'm just going to have to see what they trough my way.
I can tell right now that i am nowhere near ready for high school. These 2 junior high years have been great and i have learned quite a bit about what high school is gonna be like. Now that doesn't mean i'm prepared. I'm gonna be honest i have tried in school these past 2 years but i've slacked off more than i should have. It's kinda nerve racking that i'm gonna be in high school next

The teachers up here are pretty cool as long as you don't get on there bad side. The one thing about moving on to 9th grade is that i will miss the 8th grade hallway. I think this year has made me a little more prepared because in 8th grade i signed up for ag and i really enjoyed it. I think my 8th grade year was more of me getting situated with what classes i might wanna take. I have heard a lot of stuff about the teachers in high school. I've heard that most of them are pretty mean but there are a few really cool teachers. I just think that all the people i hear this from get on the teacher's bad side pretty quick. I'm kind of both excited and very nervous about this. I’m glad that i will be a 9th grade but nervous about changing my classes and stuff because the first week is always hectic and i always go to the wrong classes. I have always wanted to be in high school. Mostly because It will make me feel more older just being in a higher grade. Also you get a crazy more amount of freedom then elementary. I'm not prepared and i don't think anyone can be. 9th grade is a whole different domain than 8th

Essay about Evaluation: East Bay English
