It's not always what it seems

As a junior high kid, nothing seemed scarier than approaching high school. The junior high teachers had been warning us for years about how cruel and harsh these future high school teachers would be. The threats of being piled down with homework helped to keep me tossing and turning in the night. To me, it seemed as though there was no way I would be able to keep up in high school. I feared that I would be an abandoned fish in a giant sea. Soon enough, however, the time to start high school came around. I quickly realized that it really was not as bad as everyone had made it seem. High school offered a lot more freedom and class options. The truth was, I began liking high school far more than I liked junior high. Although I was scared and worried, high school ended up being some of the most memorable years of my life.
