13 Years Old

This was this the year I finally got the hang of middle school. It felt like everything was starting to fall into place. I found my group of friends, the kind that make school days feel less like a chore and more like an adventure. For the first time in a while, life was looking up.

With a more solid sense of belonging, I felt comfortable diving into new experiences. I joined extracurriculars like chess club, where I discovered my love for strategy, and colorguard, where I embraced teamwork. Middle school wasn’t as daunting anymore; it was a place where I could grow and thrive.
