Personal Narrative: My Transition From Middle School To High School
As an eighth grader going into high school, I was very scared. I was afraid that I was going to dislike my classes and they would be hard. I thought that the transition from middle school to high school would be terrifying. But I was wrong, my first quarter of high school turned out to be a lot different than I thought it would be.
When I first found out what classes I would be taking in ninth grade, I was worried that I would not do well in them. I was not good at math, so Algebra one made me nervous.

I have never been a social butterfly so it was not suprising to me that I have not been very social this year.

However even if I were to eat in the cafeteria, I do not have any friends that eat there at the same time as me. So either way I would get little social interaction. I know that being unsocial is bad for me but I enjoy being alone, I am happier that way so I am not super concerned about myself socially.
Personally I have been alright. Not very good but not terrible either. The worst thing about myself personally this past quarter has been my anxiety. For a few years now I have struggled with it but this year it seemed to get worse. I think that me being nervous about high school made my anxiety worse. I get panic attacks frequently in the hallways but thankfully I have not had many anxiety attacks during school. Having those panic attacks affects my ability to focus and my concentration. That can sometimes lead to me doing not so well on tests or quizzes. Other than the anxiety, I have been doing well
