My life has been filled with a lot of positive times. In elementary school I was always a good kid. I respected my elders, did not curse at my teachers, and I did not act like the class clown. Even though I hated my 5th grade teacher because of her attitude, I was still respectful because that's how I was raised.
My elementary school days was pretty cool because that's where I met most of the friends I have now. Those were the days that I had braids. I swear I hated braids so much because I always had to get them braided. In the 6th grade I met my 1st love, her name was Yodie Mays. She was about my height, Puerto Rican and African American, skinny, and had a smile that would light up any room. But for some reason most of the girls talked negative about her. They would make fun of her for no reason. They would ether say she was to skinny or said she looked like a tree. It got so bad that she even thought about killing herself cause she said no one loved her and she was tired of life, but I always told her that if no one else loved her then I would because I did love her. We were together from 6th grade to the 8th. We broke up here and there, but we still manage to keep the love we had together. We even went out for a little while in the 9th grade, but we decided to just stay friends. 9th grade was a big experience for me because it was my 1st time going to a school (New Design) where I wasn't familiar with the neighborhood and none of my old friends from elementary and middle school were there. I didn't know anyone in this school and no one knew me. It took me a long time to start making friends and talk to people in my class or the hallway because I was shy and didn't know what to say or know what they would say back. Would they be happy to meet me? Or would they look at me weird and say why are you talking to me? That is what I would always ask myself. After a few weeks at New Design, I got sit next to some people and we started talking and I had some friends.
The first friends I had in New Design were Kevin, Kasheem, Kendry and Richie. The teachers and students here are awesome. I like even the ones I don't know because that's the type of person I am. My life is pretty awesome. I still talk to my first love from 6th to 9th grade, meet cool people, and meet some cool teachers, and my life is still going on. I'm in 10th grade and I hope I graduate from New Design so I can go to college and do something positive with my life.
