My Grade 9 Year
Some words that describe my year are sociable, complicated but lively. I’m very glad that my classes this year gave me an oppurtunity to socialize with more people and build connections with them. Though this year was full of fun core memories with friends, it was oddly complicated. It was complicated getting used to the new environment and making new friends in every class. This year, I enjoyed the exciting Centennial assemblies. Everyone has a good spirit during assemblies and I like it when students from all grades can compete with one another and end it with a good laugh.

In this short video, a lady tells a poem she’s heard called “LET THEM” by Cassie Phillips.
I connected with this with my school year because in highschool, I started to learn more about the people I’ve already had and even more about the type of people in this new environment. While some people are the kindest, many can be judgemental, rude, and immature with their words and actions. This poem says it’s how life goes and let people that love you, love you and let people who wants to spread negativity find their own positivity in life without you.
A Useful Educational Image
This image is a positive reminder on how to take care of yourself. I strongly agree with everything stated in this image. Keeping up with grades and your social life, it’s important to remember to look after yourself. I think if people normalized this self-care behaviour in life, life could be easier for many people.
An Inspirational Quote
“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” – Charles F. Kettering
To summarize the quote, it says that you can’t expect a better day to come if you only dwell on the past. You need to move on in life.
This quote connected with me because I wish I was spending more time enjoying grade 9 instead of being scared to do certain things. I know that next year I will need to work even harder and the work will be more complicated. I feel like if I had a more positive mindset, I would’ve been a bit less stressed out this school year.
