In my years after my High School Graduation, and into my college life, I have many goals set in mind for what I want to achieve. My first goal is to graduate from high school finishing with a 4.0 as one of the valedictorians. I wish to continue working very hard in these last two quarters of school.

Year 7 Life You walk into the school, on the first day. Can you hear that? It’s the ring of the bell. Ding…ding…ding! Or something like that. You’ll hear the school bell ring 10 times a day! Butterflies and nerves start filling your stomach and your whole body in a matter of seconds. Your heart starts beating and thumping 100 kilometres an hour, as loud as a jumbo jet.
