A New School

Next year, I’m going to a new school for 7^th grade: Merryhill school! It is a private school. My parents decided to send me to Merryhill instead of Thomas Russell Junior High, which we had planned to go to. I’m going to Merryhill to prepare for high school and also to learn more.

A few days ago, my parents told me a little bit about Merryhill. In the summer, they send some test prep books where you do a few pages a day. This is so that students don’t forget what they learned. However, since I’m going to be a new student at Merryhill, my parents are going to get a lot more test prep so that I can get up to speed with the other students. I was FURIOUS when my parents told me this! I got really angry and so did my parents. However, I realized my mistake after 1 hour. They also showed me the schedule. One thing that stood out was lunch: 10:35-11:00! Next year, they will change it to 11:00-11:30. I still think that’s early.

At the end of the day, we will learn something like Spanish or music. The day ends at 4:00 after some questions about the days work. Some time in April, I am going to shadow a Merryhill student to learn about the school. All in all, I think that even though Merryhill is a strict school, I think it will be a great learning experience to go there.
