Now that I am in 8th grade and have experienced most of the whole "middle school experience" I think that everyone thinks that they have it figured out when they are younger but when you actually take time there are somethings I wish I had known before going into middle school. One of the most major things that I struggled with throughout the majority of my first years in middle school was understanding that it is okay that everyone doesn't like you and its natural. I think that unknowingly society kind of feeds into kids minds now that if you aren't liked by everyone then you are lesser then other people, and this may cause people to change so that they can fit in with the "popular kids". It shouldn't matter how many people like you in middle school because the likelihood of you being around those same people in the future is very slim, so you should just embarrass yourself and be around people who encourage you to do what you like to do. Another thing that I wish I knew was how to be able to tell myself when I am not placed in a good learning environment. One of the examples of that is when we have "flexible seating" that is a privilege and an opportunity to set a good impression with your teachers because even if you are with your friends you will lose track of time and find yourself rushing to get work done which can cause unnecessary stress. Another thing that I learned is while you are working in groups with people who don't have the exact same opinions, you should put everything behind you and work for the common goal because your ego could over shadow the fact that it will affect your grade. Those are just a few of the things that I learned and are very important to know not only for middle school but life in general. If you really think about it middle school is where you actually get shaped into the person you are going to grow up to be and the life lesson you will learn.
