Write me a 2 paragraph essay on an 8th grade narrative that tells a realistic story that might’ve happened, give details. It can be found in prose or poetry.

It was the first day of 8th grade and I was filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement. As I walked into my new classroom, I scanned the room and saw unfamiliar faces. I found a seat in the back, hoping to blend in and not draw any attention to myself. However, my plan was quickly thwarted when the teacher called my name to introduce myself to the class. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood up and awkwardly stumbled through a brief introduction. To my surprise, the class greeted me with smiles and nods of approval, instantly making me feel more at ease.

Throughout the day, I found myself making new friends and adjusting to the different dynamics of middle school. I navigated through the hallways, attempting to avoid the upperclassmen who seemed so intimidating. By the end of the day, I realized that 8th grade wasn't as scary as I had initially thought. I had survived my first day and even managed to enjoy myself a little. It was a day of new beginnings and opportunities, and I couldn't wait to see what the rest of the year had in store for me.
