A TEEN’S TAKE: Latrice Warr on starting a new school year

“I will be ready to see all my friends because I haven’t really seen them this summer. Another thing I am looking forward to is seeing my new teachers and learning new math concepts because math is my favorite subject. The last thing I am looking forward to is the activities they will have at my school because now that I am in the eighth grade, I want to see how different it will be from when I was in the seventh grade. I love to be challenged.”
