As the feet of what you once were a year ago touch the middle school grounds you feel your heart thud in your chest. This shouldn’t be very nerve racking but the truth of the matter is, there are around 100 or so 5th graders staring right at you and you have to lead 20 something of them around the middle school. No pressure right?
Next thing you know you’re leading a noisy group of 10 and 11 year olds around the school. Who can blame them? I mean who doesn’t like a tour? When the 5th graders come to the middle school for a tour of their soon to be new school, someone needs to lead and one of those people was me.
Don’t you remember when you were in 5th grade? Small and full of energy, excited to be a big kid, move on from the elementary school. Well this is how these kids were acting. I have to admit some of them had some pretty good questions. Others? Well not so much. Jumping around from place to place is how it felt to me until we hit the time for questions than things started to calm down. I remember feeling like, finally my questions can be answered. But the truth is you can never have the answer until you are the answer.
