Going to a new school can be nerve racking. New school, new teachers, new people! It’s so much pressure. But there are so many superior things that are just waiting for you when you arrive. The two pieces of advice that I have for the incoming 6th graders is to bring all of your supplies to class, and always be on time.
     One thing, that you will need to know for next year is bring supplies to class. There are only a few things you will need for each class. It is easy to keep up with your supplies but we all have those days when we just forget. And sometimes we don’t know what we are supposed to bring. One time, I forgot my whole binder in my locker for band, that carries all my music! But I’m kind of glad that I forgot my binder, because I have never forgot any more supplies after that. You get into trouble if you forget your supplies, but that only helps you remember for next time.
     Another thing that you will need to know for next year is to always be to class on time. Once, I was getting a drink of water and the bell rang, I was freaking out! I knew that I was in trouble because I had to walk all the way to band. But fortunately I got lucky and people were still putting their instruments together. But you won’t always get that lucky. I would have been in big trouble if I had been any later. Always be to class on time because you don’t want to get behind in school work or get in trouble.
     But I know that it’s not that hard. You’re getting this advice from previous 6th grader who has gone through their first year of middle school and knows all of the consequences and the troubles that an everyday middle school student faces. I can’t wait to see all of you next year! Good luck on your first year of middle school! Just as one said, ” New school year, New friends, New memories. Let the unexpected be expected.”
