Welcome to Middle School!

 Dear 6th Graders:

Congratulations! You’ve finally passed through Elementary and you're now beginning a new journey. You’ve gone from being the seniors of your building to the babies of the other. Don’t be scared. As intimidating as it sounds being a 7th grader, is incredibly fun. But let me give you some ground rules for this new school year coming ahead of you.

First of all, remember how I said you are going to be the babies of this building. Well,  get ready to be treated like them. For almost everyone in this building, you are just harmless little kids. Don’t worry is not like there are gonna be high schoolers in every corner, ready to beat you up. I just mean that you’re not going to be treated seriously. So a piece of advice would be to build some confidence. With confidence comes respect from your peers. 


The second, thing you should know is, that you need to loosen up. Yeah, there is a lot of school stress in this building, but there is also a lot of fun. But, don’t get confused, it’s not like you going to be living in a typical high school film, like straight out of a high school musical film. God, I wish that was true. But there are a whole lot of other things that are gonna be out of a dream. You get to participate in the high school Pep Rally, which is an event that happens every year at the end of the spirit week in which. You can join different clubs and school activities like, Model of United Nations, National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, etc. And let's not forget to participate in the school’s intramurals which are soccer and volleyball competitions between grades 7th - 12th.  


And my last and third advice would be for you to start worrying more about school. I’m not trying to pressure you or anything but just remember that mainly everything you do from now on, would be taken into consideration for you to go to a good college. The programs you join. The things you do at school would be necessary for deciding what you want to do with your life. 


So get ready for a year of pressure in which you are going to be expected to act like an adult and then be treated like a kid.  Oh and get ready to run from Brenda, when she caught you trying to watch the soccer matches through the window. Good luck!  And if you have any questions or just need an older friend to make you look cool among your peers, I am more than available. Just go to the 7th grade and next year's 8th-grade classroom, I’ll be more than happy to help. Well, welcome to Middle School!


Love,

7th Grader
