My 7th Grade Year

My seventh grade year was so much. It was full of up and downs. My first part of school I was at New Braunfels Middle School then later transferred back to NBCA. I didn't think NBMS was right for me. I was really really nervous and excited when I first started but later, got use to it. I just didn't think it was good for me. Now I am going to tell you all about the moments that were great and the moments that were terrible.


I am going to start with my lows. My first low was fainting on the third day of school. I was at my new school NBMS. I was really looking forward in something new. It was a change and a change I was excited about. I have a past with fainting I have fainted three times before this time. When I fainted it was during football practice. I was really embarrassed and thought everybody would make fun of me. Instead, people gave me a lot attention and were really nice to me. They made sure I was okay and worried about me. Once that was over I felt comfortable with everyone and I liked it. I ended up leaving though cause I felt like it wasn't good for me.


My second low was that I failed the third quarter in Math. I was really disappointed and mad at myself. I knew I could have tried harder and I just failed to succeed the expectations that were put on me. I really could have done better and I realize that. I made sure I did better and now I am passing with a B. That isn't amazing but it is pretty good for me. I am now proud of myself and understanding it perfectly.


My last low is losing in the playoffs during basketball season. Our season was really good and we were looking to do good in the post season. Unfortunately, we lost in the semi-finals by one point. It was one of the saddest moments in my life. What really got me mad was that we had a really good chance of winning it. We also had a really good coach. All around we just had a good team. I always wish I could go back and do it again with the same team.


Those would have to be my biggest lows of this year. Now, I am going to tell you about my highs. The greatest times of this year. The first high was when I scored a touchdown at NBMS. It was our third game I think and we were playing against Smithson Valley. The best football team in our district. They were ginormous! I played wide receiver. It was my favorite position. The pass was a short one but once I caught it I ran all the way to the end zone. I was really excited that I scored because I was the first wide receiver to score, and the only one.


My second high was coming back to NBCA! Even though I liked Nb I really felt like I needed to come back. My family prayed about it and after days of prayer and discussion we decided to get me back into Christian Academy. I really missed all my friends and wanted to get back to a christian environment. I think it was worth it though. This year has been fun and although I wish I could go back, I'm happy with how I am. It was a really good decision I think.

My third high was making it on the Nb Ice. They are an eight grade select basketball team that is pretty good. I know with play against older kids I will get better in the future. I was so happy when they asked me to play with them. Finally my hard work payed off. I know what a great honor it was for them to ask me. I like the players, coaches and the parents. They have all been real supportive towards me and that makes me feel good. I look to continue getting better and playing with them.

Those were my three lows and three highs. Thinking over this year I want to thank God for giving the ability to do all of this. I know he has been with me in all my tough decisions. I also want to thank my parents for praying for me paying all the expences I caused them to pay. This has really been a year of me becoming more mature and thinking twice before doing stuff. I want to be a leader not a follower and I know this seventh grade year has helped. I am looking forward to the next year hope it is just as good or better then this year.
