Start of Grade 11

Coming back to school feels how I expected it to; tiring and exciting.  I am looking forward to my new subjects and teachers, as well as the variety of students I will have in my classes.

I hope that during the year I will make new friends and enjoy all of my classes. I hope I will understand each subject better, without staying up all night doing work.

I am hesitant about going into classes where most people know each other and I have only seen or briefly talked to them. Nevertheless I am excited for the coming year and the one after and hope I will enjoy them.
