Everyone goes through some form of change. Going through change can teach us about our 1. In order to move on in life we must 2 change. We either accept it or 3 it. I have chosen to take it on with a 4.

Before entering junior high school, I thought 5 would be the same as things in my primary school. And then I began to realize that wasn't 6 not only was there more work but there were 7 friends. That also meant my old group of friends started to separate. As months went by, I realized I should 8 the fact that we were all going through a big change and that it was okay to grow 9.

I have also learned we should never 10 ourselves for someone but rather for ourselves. It is important for me to be happy and I shouldn't have to change myself only to 11 someone else. Recently, I have been able to realize that not everyone will 12 me or what I do or what I wear, and that's okay.

I believe in change but only if 13 from that person is put into it. If someone doesn't try to change, then I believe he won't 14 his goal and that he could possibly 15 the person or thing he loves. I noticed this 16 a friend of mine. She 17 saying she was going to change, but she put no effort into it and because of this she lost many close friends.

As we get older, it becomes easier to try new things and meet new people. Our 18 no longer affect just ourselves but our family and friends as well. Life is based on making decisions, some of them 19, and some of them bad. It's these decisions that make us who we are. Most people are 20 of change, but I choose to accept it gladly.
