I throughly enjoyed my seventh grade year. This was the second year of doing the weather at my middle school, and once the principal approved my idea of afternoon updates--I was up to ten weather reports per week, in addition to the occasional severe/winter weather update. I slowly began to grow in height, and my confidence grew slightly. There are several memorable incidents involving the opposite sex from this year, including my first girlfriend and first hug from a girl my own age. I had some great teachers, including one who wanted to read one of my very first creative writing stories that I wrote on my own for fun. My grades went well. On the home front, this was the year I got my first computer, which is something I could now not do without.
