My eyes not even open yet, I ing my bag over my shoulder and head out the door, a bolt of lightning lights up in me as I think about today’s exciting schedule. I wave at my friend as I walk through the gates, heading for form, heading for my friends, heading past the canteen, trying to guess what’s on the menu for break. It always smells delicious. Walking into the room, I put down my bag and head for the lockers. The familiar yellow lock and fading beige doors seem to greet me as I grab what I need for the day, hurrying back as my form tutor enters the classroom. I like to chat with my friends about homework as we race up the stairs but we always end up laughing about something or other as we turn towards the maths classroom and take our seats, white boards, and pens waiting patiently for us in the normal place. On the way to English, my friends remind me of our upcoming food tech tester session and I can hear my stomach rumble, apparently, we’re making cookies but we won’t nd out till next week. Break could not come sooner and I struggle to scan my ngerprint to buy just what I guessed this morning, cheesy garlic bread, probably the best item on the menu. Next, we have Latin and the usual question of “can we play Blooket™?”. Our teacher reminds us that we may if we have time but we must work hard as we answer the register with the usual “salve!”. For anybody considering this school, be warned, you’re going to wish you could never leave. It’s like a family here and everything is so diverse and accepting. Sure, there’s ups and downs but someone always has your back and no day is like the next. It couldn’t be more like home. Year 7 is a time that you will form new friendships, experience challenges that you will learn to overcome and definitely a year you will never forget. Whenever you find a subject hard, it is so easy to tell the teacher, they are really friendly and helpful. You and your form will go through everything together, as you will take all of your lessons with them. By Year 8 your friends will feel like sisters, as you know them so well.
