    🗓️ Description:

    In this special collaboration between Shelter Rock Academy 🏫 and Herricks Middle School 🐾, students sit down for an honest and heartfelt discussion about the journey of growing up and preparing for high school 🎓. This episode dives into the fears 😟, misconceptions 🤔, and emotional moments 💬 that come with change—and how students really feel as they take those next steps 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️.


    💬 Topics We Explore:

    😬 What are we nervous about as we get older?

    🤯 Common misconceptions about high school and growing up

    🏡 Moving to a new place: how it feels to join Herricks

    🫂 Finding support through friendships, teachers, and community

    🌀 Do we need to “change” who we are when entering high school?

    📚 How do academics and pressure impact us?

    💙 What makes Herricks feel like a strong, caring community


    🤝 Collaboration and Production:

    This episode was created under the direction of Mr. Lavas and Ms. Philip as part of the Shelter Rock Academy Humanities Course ✏️, and Mr. Heit as part of the Herricks Middle School Content Creation Podcasting Class (8th Grade Elective) 🎧.
