In another 4 weeks, schools will be flooded with students. Morning traffic will worsen once again due to the sudden number of big yellow school buses teaming the streets. But this year will not be the same for me. Instead of waking up at 5AM to catch a bus that doesn't even stop at my house, I can wake up at 7 for a bus that comes to my house at 7.45AM. THANK GOD for public school. I can finally rest in peace. I can go to sleep at 10 knowing I'll have 9 hours of sleep.
But as summer is ending, so is my time as a middle-school student. I'll be propelled into a sea of high-school students, where the only thing that differentiates me is my age. And by 1 year no less. I'll be behind everybody but ahead of them at the same time. The scary demon of a school year is also my salvation from private school hell. The contrasts are abundant, but they also make up what I'll be seeing and experiencing. I don't know what to do. But then again, I know what exactly I should do.
