Have you ever thought about switching schools?
Well I didn't even get a chance to think about it. my mom and dad told me, I was transferring from Central to East Milton and it happened within a week. I was terrified! It was like the time I caught Whitney Shoemaker picking her boogers and wiping them on my school bus seat. Horrifying is the best word to describe that. What would happen to my old friends? Who would be my new friends? Would anybody understand that I wear boots but dance like I should wear Jordan's? Biggest question-would there be another Whitney Shoemaker?
No matter what the answers would be to these questions the week was up and it was time to switch schools. I had a lump in my throat as I walked across the street to my new school. By the way I said "walked" so no more Whitney Shoemaker or her nasty boogers. As I continued to walk inside the school, to my surprise everyone I saw said "hello" to me. I even had a big laugh because some boy was dancing to "JuJu On that Beat"-"JuJu On That Beat, JuJu On That Beat, now slide drop"-Wait...let me get back to my speech.
By the time I was done laughing, I had made it to my classroom. When I walked into my class, I met my new teacher, she was young, pretty, and cool. I also met my new best friend, we have a lot in common and we get along so well. Everyone I met made me feel welcome. so I have to say that switching schools was great after all. I love East Milton and everyone there likes me, my boots, and my dancing too!!
