Reflection on the Past two Years of Middle School

The past to years I feel that I have really grown up as a person. Going into 7th grade I was shy, ha no idea what I was doing half the time and didn't really know who I was. Now coming out of 8th grade I'm more outgoing, don't care what people think, and now I know somewhat of who I am. This year and partly last year have really shown who my true friends are that are always there for me. I hope to stay close friends with them all threw high school. Besides the social aspect, sports has become a large part of my life. I had played basketball since 5th grade and now I am moving on from it. Really the only reason why I had stayed in it for so long is I didn't want to lose "friends". But now I know I love volleyball and will not play basketball anymore. All throughout my Middle school experience I have grown up mentally, physically, and emotionally.Middle school was a great stepping stone for me moving on to high school.
