Brand New You

I'm very excited about the upcoming school year. I'm anxious to see familiar and unfamiliar faces. I have been around the same people all summer. Now, this is not a bad thing, but I'm ready to see the friends I have not seen since the last day of school, and to see the way they've changed.

Summer brings changes. Some good, some bad. My change this year is a better attitude towards school, friends, and family. I have also gotten closer to God this summer.

I'm entering my Freshman year of high school. New faces, new school, new experiences, new me.
I have decided to make this year a wonderful year. To try my best is one of the many goals I have set myself for this year. I'm also planning on studying for tests.

I've always been on top of things until seventh grade. I started slacking a bit. Sleeping in class, not doing homework, and simply not trying. I still got by with A's, so that was a good thing. In eighth grade, that bit me square on the behind. I received lower grades than I was used to. I tried, I really did. But I got behind terribly. I made it through though.

So this year a new Sarah is coming to town. She is going to take on anything high school throws at her. She is going to learn to love learning and be enthusiastic about being at school. She has taken on new responsibilities for this Fall and hopes to fulfill them. It's time for a brand new me.
