Life is like a river, flowing and changing all the time. Over the past few years, I have experienced many changes, especially since I entered junior high school. These changes have shaped who I am today.

When I first started junior high, everything felt new and exciting. I was nervous about meeting new teachers and classmates. However, as time went by, I found that everyone was friendly and welcoming. I made some good friends who shared similar interests with me. We often studied together and helped each other when we had problems. Our friendship brought color to my life.

Another big change came from my study habits. In primary school, I didn’t pay much attention to planning my study time. But now, I’ve learned how important it is to manage my time well. I set goals for myself every day and try my best to finish tasks on time. This has greatly improved my grades and made me feel more confident.

Of course, there were also challenges along the way. Sometimes, I felt stressed because of too much homework or exams. But I realized that taking breaks and doing things I enjoyed, like reading books or playing sports, could help me relax. Now, I know how to balance my studies and leisure activities better.

Besides, I’ve become more independent. Before, I always depended on my parents to remind me of things like finishing my homework. Now, I can do these things on my own without being told. This sense of responsibility makes me proud.

In conclusion, life has changed a lot for me during my junior high years. I’ve grown both academically and personally. These changes have taught me valuable lessons about hard work, friendship, and self-discipline. I believe that with continued effort, I will face future challenges with confidence and courage.
