For my blog this week I will be talking about my experience as a grade 8 student. This is my second year at Deer Park and a lot of things have changed from the first year and the second year. This year the are a lot of similarities and there are allot of differences between the two years. In grade seven you hang around your friends from your previous school and then later in the year you hang around with your classmates. In grade 8 this is not what happens. Since you have been at the school for 1 or more years you are already familiar with the kids that have been in your class but now since the classes change up you are with a whole new bunch of kids. Now you start to hang out with those kids more than you do with your friends from your old school. Compared to grade 7 there is a lot more work that has to be done. The due dates are much closer to hand out dates then they were in grade 7. There is a lot more homework for each class you usually get one or more pieces of homework a day. Since in grade 8 you are the oldest in the school there are high expectations for everything you do. This year one of the hardest things is the class schedule. The classes end and start at weird times instead of the classes ending on the hour they end 10:36. Grade 8 is similar to grade 7 but it is also completely different.
