Closing up my Summer Adeventure

       As the last week of summer approached, it went by really slow. With finishing up fee payments and wrapping up the classroom, it was like a long countdown until school started. Not only that, we were also able to work on our intro's, practice on Ilima T.V., and make more I.D cards. We also were coming to the the point where we had to make our final decisions to stay in this class. Accepting this position in the class, I have realized I've put part of myself in a whole new perspective in school where I'm held to become more accountable and responsible. Towards the very last day of leadership workdays in 2018, it was time for the annual leadership field trip. There, we had a very relaxing, but yet exciting experience to never forget.

         Of course, we all had many highlights and lowlights from this week. A highlight I, myself experienced this week was saying I'd stay in leadership for my 7th grade year. This was definitely one of  my best highlights in this class so far during the summer because of how it's gonna effect my 1st year in middle school. A lowlight I, myself experienced this week was being late to one of the workdays. This was something that I'm not to proud of, but ready to learn from this and be more prepared next time.

         The lesson I've learned this week was, to not ever give up before something has even started. I'll admit that before making my final decision to stay in leadership, I was definitely having doubts at first and the day of. The reason why was because I was hearing a lot of things that worried me about the class and because of it lowered my confidence in succeeding in the class and in general school. Although knowing all of this, I took some time to think,"How will I ever know if this is all true, if I never try this for myself?". Once I thought about this, I knew my answer right away. Now, here I am ready for a brand new year in a brand new school.
