Dear Colby ,
With a new school on the horizon,
your anxious feelings are natural.
I felt the same way when I switched
to a middle school for Grade 7.
But it wasn't long before I made
new friends and found my footing
with my routines and teachers.
I know that the unknown of the
new school and situation can
feel crippling, but there's also
someth ing freeing about starting
in a new place.
You may even find that the
anxiety building up to the new
school will go away once you've
started and you're not worried
about the change itself.
