Not Ready

As one door closes, another opens…

But I don’t want that first door to close.

All my friends are so excited for these next four years.

Friday night football games,

Homecoming,

Prom,

Graduation…

Are none of them scared?

I’m not ready for change, I’m not ready to grow.

I can’t move on, I can’t start that next chapter of my life.

I can’t do what everyone else can.

I’m not ready to do what everyone else is.

I’m not ready for high school…

    Great job here conveying the emotions and fears most 8th graders feel at the end of the year. But really those fears and unneccessary because, to me at least, high school is the same as middle school except maybe a few friends go to a different school and there are A LOT more peeple. But there is also a lot more freedom.
