Freshman Year

This year is my last at Fairfield Jr. High and I’ve got to say it’s been one of the hardest years of my life! Not only am I leaving the school I was born into, but I’m leaving some of my memories behind also. I've been going to Fairfield my whole life; I was born into that school. As in my mom has been working at that school since it opened. I've loved that school since I can remember, and I can’t believe I’m walking through its halls for the last time.

This last week I had the opportunity to be in the school musical, “Once upon a Mattress”. It was so amazing!! I've been in lots of plays (especially musicals), but this one is one of my favorites, I know I’ll remember it forever. It helps to know that some of the kids that were in the play with me this year might be the last time I ever get to do a play with them. It helps us get closer. It's defiantly sad, but it’s good to know that no matter where we go we'll always be friends. I've gained friends that I'll always have (even if they go to Davis) or any other high school.

As a 9th grader I have been able to get to know so many new people, but now that the end of the year is coming....I realize that all the friends i made are going to other schools. Its hard knowing that now we have to be enemies, we don't "have" to but that’s what happens. We think are school is the best, and we grow apart. That’s the way life is. It’s sad....but it’s true.

All year long I've been dreading the end of the year, because I knew I wasn't ready for it to come. I wasn't ready for the pressure on grades, and which high school to go to. I wasn't ready to leave some of my best friends behind, or watch them go to some other school. But now, i think i am ready, ready to leave behind all the drama, all the pressure. I love all my friends, and even though we go to other schools we'll try to work it out. Because that’s what friends are for, we love each other, we always will.
