Eighth grade my last year in what is known as middle school aka junior high. This is a transition year for most students for high school starts the next year. This is year that was all about learning more about the state that you live in from its' history to its' government. Our voices were all changing for the boys and the girls, and you would think that some us were actually left behind again for some reason some students did not fit for good reason (they seemed to adult looking) in many ways. Our various talents were tested from writing, singing or playing an instrument, or drawing and painting along with the practical arts of mechanical drawing and/or home economics. When I was in school, boys had industrial arts and girls had home economics. In the seventh grade my homeroom was the home economics room and I saw how to operate a sewing machine along with a washer and dryer. I knew how to cook and clean up the kitchen at home for I was a latchkey child to a point.

Seventh Grade
To me Seventh grade was the real beginning of middle school for one thing there was a new school with a different setup and new lockers for in sixth grade even though we switched classes we still kept our books and coats and lunches in our homerooms back then. We were treated differently more grown up. There was new equipment to use and learn. This was the beginning of what was known as open classrooms. There were two huge rooms that could be eight regular size classrooms (four classrooms in each large pod. Seventh grade was also when it seemed hormones seemed to flourish both physically and mentally and emotionally and even socially and some kind of felt left behind.

The Emergence of a Great Nation Called Nigeria | Episode 10
Nigeria's economy, the largest in Africa, has experienced significant growth and diversification since the early 2000s. While oil and gas remain the primary sources of revenue, sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture, and services have expanded. Government initiatives aimed at economic reform, such as the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS), have sought to address structural issues and promote sustainable development. However, the country still grapples with high levels of poverty, unemployment, and inequality. Infrastructure deficits, power shortages, and bureaucratic inefficiencies hinder further economic progress. Efforts to combat corruption and improve governance are ongoing, with mixed results.

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.
