journal # 21: From 6th to 8th

May 18, 2008

My first year here at untalan is very different and similar from my last year here. And, i am going to compare and contrast these to memorable time in my life. I was at untalan middle school from 6th grade to 8th grade and each moment was full of unforgetful memories. Also, these moments were filled with a lot of different emotions. Such as , happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, and much more. I have lost a lot of my friends but also in the process I have also gained new friends. Although, some friends i have made my enemy, I have also made some of my enemies my friends. Right now I have more friend then enemies and that is a good thing. Some of my friends i won’t see in high school but most of my other friend, I will. Also, I will never forget any of my friends no matter what. I will always remeber the good time and the bad time i have had with each one of my friends.

Right now i am going to tell about the similarities of both my 6th and 8th grade. For example, I still like the same shows as 6th as I do now when I’m in 8th grade. One of those shows is Inuyasha which is an anime show that is the total best show ever. Another similarity is that, some of my friends are still the same. Every once in a while, me and my friends tell each other about the past and all the good times we had. Also, we sometimes even tease each other about what happened before and how it is now. Another similarity is that although me and my friend Gizel have known each other very well for 3 years we still argue over the littlest things. And, its the same person who stops us from kill each other every time. That person is still Quenie, who is also one of my best friends. Quenie, Gizel and I have been a trio since the 6th grade. I was first friends with Quenie but then she introduced Gizel to me during the 6th grade. Another similarity is that I still have the same subjects sorta from 6th to 8th grade. I have had the same basic subjects from even 1st grade. And, as you know these subjects include: reading, language arts or english, math, science and social studies.

Although there are a lot of similarities between my 6th and 8th grade years, there are also some differences. One of those differences is that while one of my friends Marie-Jo used to be part of the trio of Gizel, Quenie, And I, she is now just a friend. Also, another difference is that I used to be in the trio of me gizel and quenie, but now I am also in the trio of me, my friend Jasmine, and my friend Cedric. I also have a lot of other different friends from 6th grade. I have a lot of good friends who help me when I’m down and also are there when I needed them. Another difference is that I have built a better social attitude and I can converse with just about anyone now in 8th grade. On the other hand, I can also be a little too mean at times. My criticalness has also change since 6th grade. Before, I couldn’t tease a baby to cry, but now I can even criticize even the most egotistical person out there.

so many things have changed since then, but most things are still the same. I will never forget  those times with my friends. And, I will never forget my teachers and the fun activities we’ve done. Even though I might forget, I will always remember it again. Things will change, but they will always be ok with me as long as I have my memories to remind me about my times before. And, you know what they say, “some things never change.” Ha ha ha.
