Seventh Grade Influence
Seventh grade, I was going into the year not so confident. New teachers, new hallways, and hopefully a lot of new friends. Through the years I have came across many people, some have influenced me in a very good way, and others have not. Because I do good in school, stay out of trouble, and have a positive attitude, one important friend has made a positive influence on me. To begin, I was right about making new friends in seventh grade, I had made a ton! One new very close friend had stood out to me though. In sixth grade, I was with the wrong crowd with some of the wrong people. I thought that school wasn’t important. I didn’t fail all my classes, but there were a couple I didn’t care about. Come seventh grade I had the same outlook. In

    When I was in the fifth grade, I found out that my parents were divorcing after eight years of what we told everyone else was a wonderful marriage. That year I began to understand that just because you promise something to someone else, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to keep it. I learned that people are significantly more complex than I had grown to think, and sometimes people will do the wrong thing for good reasons, or at least what they thought to be good reasons. One of the most important things i learned that year was how to smile,…

    Our first stop was at kindergarten, where we thought school was just a place your parents dropped you off to get you out of their hair; which, I still believe. We weren’t informed that every year the school work got harder, that there where no more letters to color in, or numbers you could count on our fingers, or even that some of the teachers got meaner, but through all of that we came along the best nail in the track, which is best friends.…
