Hello From Middle School

By: Joel (6th grade)

Hello members of Room 19, I was glad to see that this place has not been completely deserted. Only Lucas wrote back. Anyway, I go to Miller Middle School, and I think it is okay. I know I can probably make it through the whole year. It is not as bad as I thought, though I got homework on the first day, as a good "greeting". I got some very nice teachers, and there was a big change from Elementary School to Portal. I've made a lot of good friends and you fifth graders won't believe that I got Kevin Yang in every every class of mine except one. Things that I started worrying about I'm not that much. Things such as bullying aren't happening (probably because there is a member of staff hanging around every corner) and the homework is easy to deal with. The only thing I suffer from in school is the fact that my days are pretty boring. The teachers are constantly repeating the same lectures for 10 minutes and brunch (as we call it now) and lunch is pretty boring. There is nothing to do once you are done eating. There aren't any wallball courts or playgrounds. Well, I think I can still survive.
