On May 28th, 2024 I went on my 8th grade trip to Knotts Berry Farm. I sat next to a friend on the way there and listened to music. When we arrived I got into my group with my friends and we got in line for Silver Bullet. I started having a panic attack while in line and when it was time to get on I almost got off but held my best friend's hand. I kept my eyes open and shouted my best friend's name. The next few rides were entertaining, my best friend and I went on all of them together except Hangtime because I was scared to go on it. I did get a little bit nauseous towards the end of the day, but I was ok after a little break and some food.

I bought my dress 2 weeks in advance then realized it was too much so got another more simple dress. My grandma ordered my heels around the same time as the dress was purchased. I wore a long white cardigan with it. I had a great time as I walked across the stage that morning. I took pictures and even cried. I said bye to my favorite teachers and I cried even more. I specifically miss my AVID teacher and science teacher. I loved my science teacher more than anyone at that school. She had this energy where you could tell she seriously cared about her students and wanted the best for them. Many people disagree with me but I still stand on the fact that she was an amazing teacher.
