My first day of fourth grade was dreadful. My friends came up to me that early morning asking how my summer was. I remember thinking to myself how

I wanted to become a different person than who I was the year before. I wanted to hang out the with the "cool kids" and play with them at recess and such

nonsense. Most of all I wanted to become less timid. I was aware of the chances of what my friends would think of me changing my persona. I didn't want

in any way to hurt them, I just wanted to change. My goal was to leave the shy and quiet version of me behind and start that school year with a

more bold character. What motivated me to do this was my new obsession with Beyonce. I started becoming one of her admireres during that past

summer.

That summer, I began idolizing Queen B because she symbolized everything that I wanted to be. She's fearless, fierce, bold, a diva while still being

humble and down to earth. She was and still is a huge role model of mine. That fourth grade year, I did succeed my goal and became a better me. I still

had my old friends and I made some new friends also. I got to talk and make friends with the "cool kids" but turns out they're just a bunch of dorks. I got

the impression I wanted from my classmates and teachers.

Beyonce still influences my life today. She influences the choices I make, the things I do, the way I dress, and the things I say. She reminds me not to be

just another person in the crowd. She is one of the reasons why people get the impressions they get of me today.

I got through my fourth grade year with complete success. I then went from 4th to 5th grade, 5th to 6th grade, 6th to 7th grade, and 7th to 8th grade

with that same mindset. Now I am in the middle of 8th grade and I am a way different person than who I was when I was younger. I am glad that I made

that decision on that very first day of fourth grade and I hope to not let anyone change who I am when I am in high school.
