Personal Narrative: The End Of Elementary School

The end of elementary school was definitely when the awkward phase began. I seemed to be abnormally taller than all of my friends and pretty much my entire class. At this point I had lost all of my baby teeth, and I was left with some terribly crooked bunny teeth. During sixth grade, I ended up getting braces in the spring o and having them for nearly three years. Needless to say it was a rough time. During this time, I was also getting well acquainted with the idea of glasses. I started off my only needing them during school, but by the end of sixth grade I was wearing them all the time.
I was very active in sports during elementary school. I mainly played basketball and volleyball, however, I did play soccer and t-ball for a few seasons.

I was very much a tomboy during this phase because of my love for sports. I like to consider myself a semi athletic person so I did well in both sports. I was also involved in my choir at school. My favorite part was competing in Murfreesboro every year; we ended up winning first place too!
I grew a lot during this time in my life as well. Not just physically but mentally. I was beginning to understand friendships and relationships better, but I still feel as though I struggled more than most. A lot of my friends ended up moving away or changing schools, so I mainly floated between friend groups. I also did my best to avoid all of the drama because I also felt so out of place there. Anyways during this time I became acquainted with ideas of boyfriends and girlfriends. I always thought they were stupid, but I couldn't help having a crush on all the Jonas Brothers. I was also becoming more independent towards the end of elementary school. Since my little brother had just been born, I was given a lot more responsibility around the house, which included keeping up with my own school work and extracurricular activities like piano.
