The last day of summer is always the hardest and you never want it to end. When you think about all of the trips you and your family took over the summer you recall all the specific memories you created. During this past summer we went to the beach the amusement park and the aquarium. My family also got to go to the zoo and a baseball game. I can’t believe we have to go back to school and start another new year. It is my first day of middle school so I am really scared about getting lost. I am also afraid that I will not be able to find my locker remember my combination or get a seat at a lunch table with my friends. Although my schedule is hectic I think I will be okay.
