Lost Spark
When I was little, my grandparents had 14 cats and 5 dogs. Around 3rd grade, they started to pass away. Since they were about the same age, they all passed away around the same time. I was fine though, because my favorite cat, Fuzzy, was still healthy. Or so I thought. When I was in 4th grade, my grandparents told me that Fuzzy passed away. I thought it was a sick joke, because my grandpa loved to play jokes on me. But when I looked into his eyes, I saw that he had been crying. Fuzzy was really gone.
That night, all I could do was cry. I was thinking about all the memories I had had with Fuzzy, and how I would not have anymore. I was devastated. Then I just stopped crying. I felt lost, like I had no one to turn to. I began to lose motivation in everything I did; I had lost my spark. I had lost my feelings. I began to act cold toward everyone, pushing them away. That was, until 6th grade.
For the first few days, I blocked out everyone and focused on my work. As I started to ease into the new year, I started to talk to my friends more. One day, out of the blue, I got my spark back. I didn’t know why at first, but I soon realized that it was because I had a crush. At first, I felt dull, because we were both girls. I soon learned that she liked other girls too, and I had hope. I told her my feelings, only to find out that she didn’t like me back. My spark began to waver, but I sucked it up.
I had had bullies ever since the beginning of 6th grade. I didn’t care at first, you can’t break what's already broken. But what was once broken was now fixed, and I began to hurt. I just pretended like I didn’t care, but I really did. From my heart being broken to the bullies, I lost my spark again.
When I got home, my mom asked me what was wrong. I just ignored her and ran upstairs. I picked up my guitar, and started playing. I found a few notes that I liked, and started to write lyrics. Soon enough I was writing songs. When I was in the middle of playing my new song, I realized something. It did not matter if my crush liked me back, all that mattered was that I liked her. I will not give up on her. I don’t care if she doesn’t like me back, she is still my friend. And for the bullies, back off. You know who you are.
It wasn’t just my guitar that got my spark back, it was all of you. To my whole 6th grade class, thank you for inspiring me. It is a great honor to be in Mr. Kuiken’s fun, weird, and amazing class. You all helped me get my spark back, even my bullies. You are like my second family, my second family that I will never forget.
I am at the end of 7th grade now, and I will never forget them.
