Times I've Felt Powerful and Powerless

By Anonymous -
 I think the time I've felt more powerful was when I realized that I'm old enough to make my own decisions and not depend on other people most of the time. Even though I'm not able to control other people's actions, words, or feelings I know I can with mine and I know that I can stand up for myself. I think I realized this when I was talking to my mom about some problems I was dealing with and she told me that I had to be an independent person and not rely on people and it's not being selfish but just watching over yourself. The time I felt most powerless was when I knew I was struggling with something that wasn't in my control but I was a part of. I didn't know what things would lead up after that but I just felt like I had no control and everything was getting worse by the day.

The Best Advice I've Recieved

By Anonymous -
   6th grade middle of the year or so, while I was in a difficult place with myself in life I had gone to the hospital and while I was there this really down to earth mentor would come to talk to us and he noticed I stood out differently from the other girls there. After one of the meetings/discussions we had he came to talk to me and asked why I don't participate in the discussions and acted like I did and why I would isolate myself. All I would every say was I was just tired and didn't want to talk. Slowly I gained trust and started opening up to him but he would always try to stay objective about what I would say and any thoughts that I had that I would tell him. When my time was up at the hospital before I left he told me "Sometimes when you're going through something difficult in your life all you need is to talk and let everything out and not bottle yourself up and isolate yourself and act like everything's perfect because in reality nobody's perfect an

Goodbye Middle School

  It's so sad to think that in less than a month I'll be graduating middle school. I think I'm most excited about is six flags, since I love roller coasters and we get to be with our friends and have a good time. My least favorite part of this whole graduation process was graduation pictures because I'm not photogenic at all and I always come out awkward, especially since I get apprehensive when I'm about to take a picture. I think for right now 8th really has become the year I discovered more about myself and matured more. I think the thing I'm most nervous about is promotion day, walking across a stage seems like such an easy thing to do but in reality for me it's not, won't be surprised if I trip, fall, and embarrass myself. I still remember my first day of middle school and how excited I was, feel like it was just yesterday I was walking through the front doors of Heritage. I would of never thought I would be sad for school to end. Surprisingly some
