Something I needed to say! :)

Hello, everybody! Wow, haven't posted on this in a while... My laptops broken again! Right now I'm on my iPhone and it's working pretty well! I just wanted to say that I wish the best of luck in grade 7 and I wish you luck with the grade 6s this year. :) 
In the week that I've been at Vance Chapman, everyone has been pretty nice! And yes, I know sometimes it's hard to be yourself and make new friends there but the key to make friends is to be your nice and friendly self! And then get them to sign a form saying they can't back out of this friendship... So once they sign it, they're stuck with you and you can be your crazy, kind, funny self! ^.^ Hahaha, I'd just skip the form and be myself if I were you. ;) 
Teachers can be scary for a while but not because you think they're mean or anything, it's because you don't really know them and you start to think that if you do something wrong, they'll think of you differently. Don't even think about that! The best way to become familiar with a teacher is to talk to them, have conversations! Teachers aren't meant to frighten you, they're meant to be a guide and help you with any problems even if the problems happen outside of school. They are a helping hand for you. If you have any concerns about your teacher, talk to them, or your parents, or even the principal! The school can always book a private parent-teacher interview. 
Hopefully everyone had an amazing summer! I know most people don't want to go back to school but you need the education to help you in life. I find it funny when people come to school and act like they hate it, but then at the end of the year, they don't want to leave! :D Just think on the bright side of things and it will sure get you through the year! 
I am pretty sad about leaving St. James... I've been there for 8 years so it was like a home to me. It's not just the school itself that I miss, but I really miss all of the teachers there, and my friends there. The memories of it makes me think about how I'm never going back... Sure I had my ups and downs there but they helped me learn and every mistake that I made helped me become a better student. Look at me now! I have successfully completed 8 years of my life and it's all because of the teachers who taught me and my friends who helped me understand! I feel like I'm doing well in school at this point because I pay attention and every time I start to day dream, I remind myself that this lesson will help me in life and that I need to pay attention if I want to go to a great college and do well in life, So SNAP! I quickly start to pay attention! Maybe you guys could try this if you get off track! :)
Lastly, I know that everyone will do amazing this year! Not everyone is at Vance so just to make it clear, I'm talking to everyone no matter what school you go to. I would enjoy to see you soon, Mr. Purdon! :) And yes, I am going to invite teachers from St. James to come to the grade 8 graduation next year! ^.^ For everyone going to Vance, I'll see you tomorrow, for everyone going to another school, I hope to see you soon, and for all of the teachers at St. James, I know that I'll see you soon c: 
Okie dokie! I will try to post more chapters of my book but today I just wanted to focus on school! Have a great year! Mkay, bye! :D

How's life at Vance?

Things at St. James have got off to a smooth start, except that our photocopier has been broken for 8 days and the power went out first thing yesterday!
I hope your transition to intermediate is smooth. I know you all will do well.
