| By Alex, 8th grade | June 2021 … You are going to receive a lot of advice about what to do with your life and how to be successful once you reach eighth grade. This is commonly someone else’s opinion of your life. This will happen throughout your life, most commonly after you graduate middle school and high school. It’s valuable because it’s built on experiences of others, but never forget that you are different. Focus on being the best you  can be and I know things will work out for you.
