Moving On and Up

By Anonymous -
     Eighth grade is coming down to the end. There are less than three days of school left, and I'm honestly really sad. Not just because I'm leaving Heritage, but because when we leave Heritage, we all go our own ways. My two best friends who I've known my entire life, all three of us are going to separate schools. One is going to Fenwick, another to RB, and one to Morton. Very different schools. I think part of the reason, I don't want school to end, is because of that. I'm scared to have to start all over again. I'm scared to lose all the friends I really do have. No one understands how grateful I really truly am for them, because without them I would be nothing. Yes, I am very excited for high school. I also am not excited to leave. Leaving doesn't sound so fun. I'm excited for this new chapter in my life. I am excited to move up. I know if I stay here forever, it really wouldn't benefit me. How would I actually move on and up? How would I grow, intellectually? There is no stppping this, I just wish during the process my friends and I wouldn't be separated.

    At first, when I heard about this book, I thought, "what's the big deal? Why does everyone like it so much?" Not only until after I read it, did I realize how great of a book it actually is.

People need to be aware of what really could go on in someone's life. Personally, I related to this book. I think that's one of the reasons on why I love it so much. I think my favorite part of the book & the show, was when Clay finally got to his tape. It was so touching, and not what anyone would have expected.       This book is basically all about a girl named Hannah Baker. When Hannah moved to this new place, she didn't have it tough. Not until she met Justin Foley. Justin was the turning point in her entire life. After weeks of living there, she had it tough. She had no friends, no one liked her, everyone th

My Name

By Anonymous -
     My name is pretty unique. Although, it has been mispronounced from time to time. The day I was born, my parents decided to name me "Sumar." The reason my name is unique is not because of the way it is pronounced, but the way it is spelled. I'm pretty sure you guys all think it's pronounced like "su-mar." The funny thing is, my name is supposed to be pronounced "summer" like the season, and also spelled like the season. I guess when I was born, there was a miscommunication and my name was spelled incorrectly on my birth certificate. Although it causes a lot of mix-ups, it's a funny story to tell. It's also from an Arabic origin (or Arabic root) which is pretty cool.
