Hey,
So you’re graduating from the 8th grade. Wow. Where has the time gone??
Being a lot older than you, I was able to watch you grow up and remember every minute of it. No matter what age you were, you were always my baby sister. You are growing up so fast and now it’s time for you to leave middle school and enter the high school life.
I am proud of all that you accomplished in middle school. Whether it was academics, sports, or clubs, you went above and beyond in everything you did. I know you will carry those values into high school, and you will be just as successful.
As you make the transition from top dog 8th grader to bottom-of-the-totem-pole freshman, remember to stay true to yourself. You are going to be meeting so many new people and experiencing a totally different vibe as you walk down the halls of a much bigger school. Don’t be nervous and whatever you do, don’t walk down or stand in the middle of the hallway. Always a freshman mistake.
Know that high school is full of ups and downs, but you will also make many great memories in your time there. Before you know it, you’ll be a senior. So live in the moment and make the best of every situation.
As I watch you walk down to get your diploma, I couldn’t be more proud. I’m proud of all that you have accomplished and excited to see all of the things you will do as you continue to grow up. No matter how old you are, you will always be my baby sister and I will be cheering for you every step of the way. Congratulations graduate, this is the first of many!
Love always,
Your big sis
