Transitions happen in everyone’s life. It has happened in my life many times and it is going to happen very soon. I am going to have a baby this spring and I am going to be getting ready to graduate high school and go off to college this coming fall.

Transition has helped me in many ways. Here is one of the ways that it has helped me. I was having trouble in English in eighth grade because the teacher would not listen to my needs. Everyone thought that I would not transition into high school well. Well, now that I am a senior, going through a big transition was good for me. For my English grade went up from a D to a B in my first quarter, which proved everyone wrong. What helped me through this whole thing is that the teacher listened to my needs and me.

I got started in transition by a teacher last year. I have attended many of the conferences in my area and north of Penobscot.

What I am going to leave you with today is that everyone goes through a transition point in their lives. We do not know when it is going to happen and it is not easy to go through.
