text: Last summer, I made the decision to leave the shool I've been at since Kindergarten. I went to a private school in Generic_City for about eight years, and so did my sister. She graduated and went to Generic_School in Generic_City. Her school day starts at 7:50 and ends at 2:50. She has to drive about 40 minutes there every moring, and the same on the way home. She's always exhausted and has a ton of homework. So she goes to bed late and has to wake up extremely early Monday through Friday. However, I wasn't sure that I wanted to do the same thing. I didn't want to go into a high school not knowing anyone, so I had strongly considered coming to Generic_School my last year of middle school. After debating all sumer with my parents, discussing the pros and cons ith them, and hearing the benefits from my friends, I decided to come to Generic_School this year. Although it was a tough decision to make, I still believe that I made the right one withbthe help of my family and friends.
