According to the famous actress Zooey Deschanel, “Nothing could be as hard as middle school'. My three years at Leslie H. Walton Middle School were full of excitement and learning, but what Mrs. Deschanel stated is completely accurate. Walton, without a doubt, had been part of the hardest years of my life. Finding out my identity and where I belonged was the epitome of middle school. The values I took back from Walton Middle School were to be myself and to take on every challenge with passion and effort.
During my three years attending Walton, I learned the significance of a strong friendship. In sixth grade, I made friends with everyone but was part of a tight-knit group. Moving on to seventh grade, I entered a group of girls, always worried about their appearance, what people thought, and in everyone’s business. I stuck with them throughout that year but felt out of place. I tried to be like them, but never really felt comfortable. I learned that I do not have to be friends with everyone, but cooperating with others made every situation easier. In eighth grade, I formed an inseparable bond with a few amazing people. I trusted my friends, joked with them, and my year would have been incomplete without them.
Finding a supportive teacher this year was essential. Going to Walton every day, I could not be who I am without the help of my teachers. They assisted me and helped lead me to become a strong and independent individual. In particular, Ms. Graham had my best interest in mind, along with every other student. She took time to work with me and encouraged me to always try my absolute best. She was an inspiring and empathetic leader toward all students and stood out to me as someone I could rely on for anything.
Academics took over a huge part of my middle school career. School had been one of my greatest priorities since I was young and I took pride in my ability to catch on to subjects and information quickly. Entering into Walton, I was taught to further focus on applying my knowledge to the real world. From the words of the former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. I take this quote to heart because I know if I work hard on my education now, I will have the capability to go so much farther in the future.
Walton was more than just an educational institution… it was a place I looked forward going to every day because it meant I got to be with my friends and take in knowledge every day. WMS has carved out my personality, and who I currently am as a person. Now, about to graduate, I am nervous for high school, but middle school has set the bricks in my path and I just need to follow it.
