Oscar Vazquez 13 years old Man Middle school Finishing my 5th grade year and going into middle school I had many problems with some of the people who would always pick on me in elementry school. knowing they where going to the same middle school I was. I knew my 6th grade year was gonna be a huge problem for me if i didn’t stand up for myself. When those people wanted to mess with me.…
I didn’t realize how much my grades would affect the rest of my life. I didn’t know that it would change my income, my job, and my personality. I didn’t care about school overall, I just wanted to be in and out, everything…
Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret. I like to refer to this story as my “Middle School Mid-Life Crisis”, since I questioned the purpose of going to school almost every day, and never felt motivated to do anything. Dreading almost every day of school, not having stable mental, emotional, or physical health, and feeling dissatisfied with myself as a student. My mind set was always on countdown mode, “I just have to make it through this class period. I only have 20 more problems to do.”…
At the start of high school, my family was more separated than ever, and being that my dad is in the military it never got better. Thus, I was forced to do what every young man was supposed to do, man up and get thru the day, week, and year. I would cope with my unfortunate life at home by going to the library every day which caused me to excel in high school but had created a void in my life, making me into an anti-social kid who was naïve to the outside world. As I hit senior year of high school everything in my life seemed to fall apart and the only safe places I had were the gym and library at the time. I had no goal set in mind going their other than being there for myself looking back to those days.…
How to Survive Jr. High Have you ever wondered how you are going to survive junior high? It may seem more different and intense than elementary school is. Though you have a right to be scared, the transition between the grades goes smoothly and easily. You get a lot more responsibility, and many more opportunities. You have a lot more classes and teachers, and get to make influential decisions.…
“Hey, can you pass me the popcorn?” Katherine asked “Sure! Haven’t you had enough though Kat?” I replied jokingly. Kat was my nickname for her. My nickname was ______.…
When I moved to Springfield Township from Cheltenham Township, I really despised the sudden change. I disliked almost everything about it but what I did not know at the time is that by my senior year I would eventually love this school as I molded it into a place that I wanted to be at. During the end of my freshmen year, I found myself with a new view of how I was going to cultivate at Springfield Township High School. After meeting a valuable presence that will have forever leave an imprint on me, I decided that I needed to get involved with school to become apart of it. From that moment, the following year, I signed up for the Academic Team meanwhile continuing the Word Language Club which I had joined Freshmen Year and Girl Scouts which…
In addition to my hurt and pain I was struggling with Geometry and Chemistry I never gave up and I always came to school early/late for additional tutoring from my teachers and peers. Junior year was much better for me, maybe because I was more mature and had been give more responsibilities. I realized how important it was going to school and maintaining a good GPA. As a result…
Amber has been a friend of mine since we met in Fourth Grade. We were in the same grade, went to the same school, and shared many classes together. We both belong to the school band and both played the oboe. For several years in Junior High, we were official BFF's (Best Friends Forever), enjoying such typical adolescent girl activities as sleepovers, movies, (Yes, we both loved the Twilight series at the time) and incessant texting. We were similar in so many ways.…
I didn’t not know what I was expecting. On the first day of high school, I stepped into a crowd of students, waiting to enter the building that would become my second home for the next four years. I didn’ not know where I would stand among these highly accomplished individuals, or if I would even amount to the standards set before me. Self-doubt began to fester inside of me as soon as I stepped through the front doors. I expected less and less of myself as time went on.…
People close to me had always told me that every year is very important and to try my best. Trying my best was not my priority. My priority that year was about my friends who only cared about fitting in too. The transition from middle school to high school was difficult for everyone, but greatly for me. I realized my classes had more homework, more tests and had a tougher curriculum than in middle school.…
Throughout all my years of school middle school and high school were one of the hardest times for me (next to college, but we’ll get there later.) When I was entering middle school in 2008 I was 11 years old. Around this time is when I started noticing differences in me. My childhood and not having my dad started having significant effects on me as a child and me as a student. I often acted out in middle school.…
The transition to high school made me realise how much I didn’t know. I was very contempt with my environment during jr. high that I wasn’t looking into the new things I was going to approach. The things the kids in my grade knew and talked about were different than that of the seniors and juniors. Once I saw what was important to the older kids, then I put those things in front of what I enjoyed.…
High school is a time in life where many important lessons are learned to help a person grow into something better. I have made mistakes in my time in high school and from those experiences I have learned valuable lessons. My freshman and sophomore years I was not a good student. I was not motivated to academically better myself and because of that my grades suffered heavily. Those years of carelessness do not accurately represent me as the student I am now.…
The summer before my freshman year of high school, I decided to have a party with all my friends. My dad had purchased a blow screen and a projector so I could watch movies in the back with my friends. My parent told me I had a limit of 16 of kids, I could have over and I thought that was ridiculous and like any other rebellious teenager, I invited all my friends over and told them to invite whomever they wanted. Instead of 16 people over I ended up having around 60 kids from my grade show up, including a some kid from valley that I had never even met before. Though many more people came over than my parents expected, they were not mad at me.…
