Entering Middle School caused me to worry, Could I open my school locker in a hurry? Turn right two or more whole turns and stop at nine Halfway through the combination, I wondered if it was mine All the school lockers look the same at a glance I lifted the locker handle, hoping it would open by chance My heart started pounding and I wanted to scream I started hoping and praying that this was only a dream My friends had warned me to practice until I got it right I pressed so hard on the handle that my knuckles turned white Turn past the first number and stop directly on ten I was beginning to wonder, if anything would happen I reached the last number, lifted the handle, and opened the door I suddenly felt at peace and felt much better than before As I run to my first period class, I’d like to share an observation Entering Middle School requires discipline, focus, and concentration
