I love school, but kids usually don’t enjoy waking up in the morning to realize that a) they’re starting seventh grade, b) they have to ride The Bus, c) it's at a new school, and d) they are the “new” kid.

She takes a few steps forward to peek out of the elevator, then quickly jumps back and hides in the corner of the elevator next to the buttons as if she’s hiding from someone or something that is in the hallway. She continues to peek out the elevator after hiding in the corner, she jumps out in the hallway as if she’s trying to scare someone who may or may not be there.

In my family, my transition from childhood to adulthood help me to become a more mature and knowledgeable person.
