"3 Stages of High School, Grade 7- 9"

Considered as the happiest stage in life,

By men and women who had finished their race.

All lucky people had been in this phase,

Satisfied or not by their experiences;

They continue life with great memories

First, the 7^th grade,

Started as a flower bud that was still an outcast;

Observing others silently in a corner;

Sometimes approaching them once or twice;

But the feeling of being unwelcome is still present.

There are times when you feel nostalgic about the past;

Wishing to be an elementary student once again;

Remembering the happy days back then;

When you are with your friends and close teachers;

Enjoying and sharing moments.

Going to school during the earlier months is really lifeless.

Attending, listening to lessons and then going home;

That cycle seems to be endless.

Doing your daily activities just for compliance,

While the true purpose is being ignored.

Time passed by without noticing it,

And that flower bud blooms slowly part by part;

Improving physically, mentally and even socially

That having friends had been a thing to her;

And everything at first, seemed to be opposite.

The shy type flower bud bloomed completely.

She had been out of her small world.

Showing her true self without hesitance;

Learning to communicate with others;

And willingly adapting to the new environment.

Next is the 8^th grade,

Another journey had began;

New set of activities and responsibilities,

Time to reunite with friends;

And coping to a new environment again.

The usual first day,

Shy and silent at first,

Keenly observing classmates;

Communicating comfortably with friends;

And starting new friendship with others.

After the adaptation level,

Everybody acted normal;

No sign of awkwardness;

But only closeness.

This showed the great bond in each other.

In terms of school stuff,

The competition had been tight;

Not just academically but also in terms of extra-curricular.

Everybody showed interest on having triumph;

Working hard but remaining sport.

Even though there are competitions,

Friendship still dominated that idea;

During field trips and activities,

Unforgettable moments were captured;

And the genuine smile of each remained in their hearts.

The third one is the 9^th grade,

Second to the last step in Junior High School,

A hard stage for everyone,

Considered too as a preparation stage

Because of the responsibilities waiting in being a Senior.

For the first two weeks,

Many things had happened.

Almost everybody had adapted to the place,

Each are comfortable with each other;

And everyone enjoyed learning new facts and knowledge.

Looking forward to the next happenings;

That can bring thrill and spice in the stage of each;

Not minding the doubts in mind;

But being strong to face each challenge

And excited to experience something extraordinary.
