On this day I was told I only had 1 minute to use the bathroom, so I chose to sprint all the way to the bathroom so I wouldn't get into trouble.

Middleschool-School
On the first day of middleschool, I was very nervous. I had never been around so many people that I didn't know. At first I was shy but once everyone was told to introduce themselves, I could find common intrests with them and become friends. This is a strategy I use a lot around strangers -

Middleschool-Massmedia
The biggest influence on me in the media category is the internet. For example social networks like Facebook and Youtube. from these networks, I am informed on whats cool to wear and have. Like phones, mp3 players and video games.
