As a child, I did not know much about growing up, that is until I was in 8th grade. As being leaders of the school, my class and I had lots of responsibilities to perform and we also had to set good examples for the faculty, staff, and other students in the school. As the year went on, I had to make a decision of what high school I wanted to go to. Also, graduation was fast approaching and things were getting more serious. Towards the end of the year and especially after that, I realized I was getting older and growing more because I was going to enter high school. My class and I were moving to the next chapter of our lives. 8th grade graduation was an inspiration for me and I will never forget the moments and feelings I had from graduating middle school.
