After the first two years of living in New Jersey I strongly disliked the school system and the people there. The church I went to had just opened up a school when we moved and I begged my parents to let me go. I was graduating from fifth grade and I wasn't ready to go to middle school with the same kids that tormented me for two years. I needed new people, a new place, and new everything.
My parents made the decision that my two brothers and I would switch to private school to get a better education. Moving around prepared me for many first days but I never got used to them. I was scared every time. An upside to this new school was uniforms so I didn't have to worry about wearing the name brand clothes everyone had at public school.
When we pulled up to the school on the first day I was so nervous I could barely move. I walked up to the building and paused before I went in. I prayed that God would help me get through this first day at a new school. Once, I entered the school people where there to direct me to my classmates. That day I met some of my very best friends who are still in my life today.
Going to Calvary was the best decision my parents could have ever made. I excelled in school and graduated with high honor role, National Honors Society member, and captain of varsity soccer, basketball, and track by the end of my senior year. I stayed at that school for seven years and figured out who I was surrounded by the godliest people.
Life Lesson #4: Even though the first day at a new school is scary thinking of the positives and who you will be is better then worrying about if the people there will like you.
