Transition To High School
Welcome family and friends. Today, I represent the graduating class of 2017. Today we take a step forward and move on from Middle School and transition to high school. It may be hard for some of us to let go, but in the end we have to move on. It was a great three years, but now we are stronger, independent adolescents ready to start a new chapter.

But the quote I always go by as I went through tough experiences is, “"When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming."
Junor High has taugth me a lot about being a better person. I know that they have greatly prepared me for what the future might bring. Sure some of us think highschool will kill us with the overload of work, but the teachers oculdn’t have done a more wonderful job for preparation. I know that I’m not really ready to take a larger step into the future, but there’s no where else to go. I mean when we were coming to Junior High for the
