My life has changed a lot since I started junior high school.
First, my daily habits are different. I used to get up late in the morning, but now I get up at 6:30 every day to prepare for school. I also go to bed earlier, because I know I need more sleep for the new subjects.
Second, my hobbies have changed. I used to spend most of my free time playing computer games, but now I like reading books and playing basketball with my classmates. These activities make me feel relaxed and help me make new friends.
Third, my relationship with my classmates has changed. I used to be very quiet and shy, but now I talk more with others and take part in many class activities. I feel more outgoing and happy at school.
Many things have changed, but one thing stays the same: the love from my family. They always support me and help me when I meet problems. It makes me feel warm and brave.

$Changes in my life. Now that I am holder, my life is different from when I was in primary school. For example, my primary school was near my home, so I used to walk to school with my parents. Now my junior high school is farther from home. I take a bus every day with my friends. My home has changed to my family. Used to live in a small flat, but now we have moved to a much larger one. My grandma lives with us now as well. He has her own room and her own TV SAT. I am glad that I get to see her everyday. The way I study is also different. I have become more confident in my studies and often attend group discussions. I enjoy studying with my friends. It's amazing how much we have achieved together. My life has changed in many ways, but one thing stays the same, the feeling of love and happiness shared by my family.
