about overcoming obstacles like a 9th grader

The topic for my Informational Essay is "Overcoming obstacles as a 9th grader." I chose to write about this topic because I believe that the transition to high school can be challenging for many students, and discussing strategies for overcoming obstacles can be helpful. I plan to gather information about this topic by conducting research using reliable sources such as academic journals, educational websites, and interviewing high school teachers and counselors who have experience working with 9th graders.

In response to another student's discussion post, I would like to comment on the topic they have chosen and their reasons for selecting it. Additionally, I will offer any suggestions or resources that may be useful for their research.
