I am excited about school. 

Rowdy and I are planning on playing high school basketball.

Last year, Rowdy and I were the best players on the eighth-grade team. But I don't think I'll be a very good high school player.

Rowdy is probably going to start varsity as a freshman, but I figure the bigger and better kids will crush me. It's one thing to hit jumpers over other eighth graders; it's a whole other thing to score on high school monsters.

Grammar: will. Present.

Topics: school, future, sports.

📌 Excerpt n°2

Chapter: How to fight monsters

P. 58

    I walked into the school, made my way to the front office, and told them who I was.

    "Oh, you're the one from the reservation," the secretary said.

    "Yeah," I said.

    I couldn't tell if she thought the reservation was a good or a bad thing.

    "My name is Melinda," she said. "Welcome to Reardan High School. Here's your schedule, a copy of the school constitution and moral code, and a temporary student ID. We've got you assigned to Mr. Grant for homeroom. You better hustle on down there. You're late."

Grammar: could, present, prétérit.

Topics: new school.

📌 Excerpt n°3

Chapter: Slouching toward Thanksgiving

P. 98

     He was an extremely weird dude. But he was the smartest person I'd ever known. He would always be the smartest person I'd ever known.

     And he certainly helped me through school. He not only tutored me and challenged Mr, but he made me realize that hard work -- that the act of finishing, of completing, of accomplishing a task -- is joyous.

    In Wellpinit, I was a freak because I loved books.

    In Reardan, I was a joyous freak.

Grammar: prétérit, would, superlatif.

Topics: studying, helping one another, tutoring.
