The Stress of Middle School   by Kayla Barnett       

         The first day of middle school is stressful. A used-to-be fifth grader heading into sixth grade at a new and improved school can be filled with stress. As kids go through the rest of the year, it gets better. I believe it's important to have change in life, and later on in life there will be a multitude changes.

        I should know because I've experienced it myself. The first day of basically anything will be stressful, but  it mainly takes place in school. I struggled with remembering my locker code, getting to classes in time, and figuring out where to sit at the lunch tables. When the time goes by for the rest of the year, it starts to get easier and people get the hang of the process.

       Now when I went into seventh and eighth grade year, it was the same routine. I was able to figure out my classes and get to them on time, remember the combination to my locker easier, and find friends to sit with at lunch. As people get the hang of middle school, the stress will slowly dissolve everyday. Sadly, there still is all the homework, test/quizzes, and the projects.

       Experiencing the same change with other people in middle school was a big part of my life, and I gladly appreciate it.This process made me believe that minor changes in life is important because it will help with whatever comes next.
