An 8th Grader's Perspective

We were to write a very short story of an eighth grader's experience of going to have a presentation during all-school gathering. I thought it was pretty hard to do, at first, because it's always uneasy to try writing with someone else's perspective. However, during the process, I figured out an easy way of doing it. Since one of the eighth graders, Connie Chiu, takes the same bus as I do, so I could write a story base on what she might be thinking in the bus.

There's probably not much for me to add. I am done with it as in a very short story form. There are some details I could add on, but I don't think those are necessary when it comes to a "very short story".

This is what a lot of writers do. They talk to people to get background for their stories. Good thinking.
