It was my worst moving experience. In Germany I was in High School and I loved it. I loved the challenges and the freedom I was given there. Then we moved to Illinois, and I had to go to Middle School. I had never been to Middle School before and it felt like an insult. In Germany I went straight from Elementary to High (there was no in-between). I went from changing classes, having a free lunch period where I could go anywhere I wanted for lunch, and challenging classes (Germany) to school lunch, recess (complete with childish playground), and dumbed-down classes with hardly any freedom or responsibility given (Illinois). It was the most horrible 6 months of my teenage life. I say this not to sound depressing, but to let Allie know it'll get better. It may take a while, and it will be tough, but eventually the sun will burst through the clouds. After I weathered my horrid 6 months of Middle School it was so much better. Hang in there Allie!<br />-kristin creekmoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
