You! yes I’m talking to you. Do you like school? I know you shook your head and wrinkled your face “no”, How about grades? I used to hate grades and not care about them. In elementary school I didn’t know what they were until fourth grade. I usually thought teachers checked our knowledge with test and ignore the number of mistakes we made as long as we learned from them. I’ll tell you what, it’s “NOTHING” like that especially in middle school. Back then I didn’t care about retakes or bad grades; but then something shot me like a ray of sun into the person I am today.

Middle school was a big change for me; new friends, new teachers, new schedule. I went to Edison and it was amazing, I was ready to start the year off big. During my first week

The year where I finally become the bigger person. After all the things that has happened to me in seventh grade I promised myself that it will not happen again. Knowing that this will be my last year at Edison I wanted to do something that all teachers will remember. As months past I needed to change immediately. Make this final year last. During the first week of school I was ahead of my classes and got all 100% I absolutely didn’t want anything to drop. Gym was a quick disappointment but I recovered the next day because I received a 93% but I didn’t care because it was still an A and that’s what I needed. Life was good at school I did everything I could to come in early in the morning and stay after school and that really paid off. I later got an achievement award for Student of the Month and Student of the Week. It was time for the annual honor student ceremony. When they called my name down the aisle I was shocked because instead of getting an honor student certificate I got a Scholar the most high certified with a bumper sticker. I knew that I would carry this on for the rest of my life and cherish the moment especially in high school. I want to be one of those students who are hanging on their own plack by the grand staircase. That makes me feel professional and an outstanding

    My first day of middle school was hell, I have always been good at school. My grades have never been bad and neither have my actions and or attendance. Probably from having a mom that is also a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
