8th Grade Year Narrative

Improved Essays
Back when I was transferring into my eighth grade year to public school, I had just came from a private christian school and had been there basically my entire childhood. My transition was successful and through my eyes, everything seemed to be an adventure. Eighth grade year is when my personal journey into self discovery began. I look back and although I’m merely just an eighteen year old-- the past is far different than what I see now. My life then was about fun, walking incredibly far in order to find a place to roll a blunt, trying to recreate that perfect hippie stoner moment with a tune by Fleetwood Mac. My life was shifting from sheltered to public and I couldn’t of been more aware of it. High school is essential in every way shape

    “Don’t forget, the paper is due next Wednesday!” My 8th period teacher, Mrs. Oakford told to my class and I as we streamed out of the cramped classroom on a Friday. We couldn’t wait to bust out of the schools doors and claim our prize of a short freedom for surviving another busy, exhausting, and slow week of middle school. I rushed to my locker, grabbed everything I would need for the homework due Monday, threw it in my bag and headed down the hall collecting my friends to walk to town to start what I would hope would be a slow but fun weekend off The weekend went quicker than I wished and before I knew it, it was late Sunday night and I still hadn’t done my homework, I realized this and got to work.…

    The beginning of eighth grade, in all of its horror and glory. Students in hordes piling up at the front doors, a jumble of frenzied emotions. New people, new clothes, new supplies, new teachers, new schools, new locker, new classes, new, new, new.

    Prior to middle school, I thought I was satisfied with my position. I had friends, got along with my teachers, excelled in sports, and got decent grades in my classes. Back then, I thought this well-roundedness I sought between these necessities would offer me self-satisfaction. Little did I know, however, that I was going to confront this well-rounded nature of mine during my first awards ceremony in middle school. Among the most intelligent, artistic or athletic of the students present there, I was the one of the few who simply struggled to stand out.…

    That Day in Fourth Grade “People come into our lives for a reason, bringing something you must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return. -Glinda” One of my best friends today, Teonna Frye, has influenced a lot of the choices that have made me into who I am today. I first met her as a “not-so-little,” brown-haired fourth grader. She was a giant that towered over all the kids in our grade.…

    Seventh grade has been a mix of amazing and crazy. You might be wondering why I don’t have a chapter for sixth grade. In fifth grade, I had expressed how I felt bored and that school work was too easy. My mother took this into account. She talked about it at conferences with my fifth grade homebase, Mrs. Breza.…

    It was 1995 and I was 7 years old. Easter was in 4 days, and the only cause for celebration was that my teacher was walking around my first-grade classroom handing out bags of candy. I searched through mine, and held up a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup for my neighbor, Becky, to see. She smiled knowingly, and passed me a Crunch bar. “I can’t believe you don’t like peanut butter, Katy.”…

    I guess you could say, moving your freshman year of highschool could be the best time of your life, but let me tell you, it was definitely the worst. While new people and new experiences are good, I hate change and this was a huge change. As I walk into the building of which id call school for the next four years I had a terrifying feeling that something wasn't right and just then, I realized I forgot an important paper in my mothers car.

    This was my life; an insecure student who had almost no friends, and even if he did, they weren’t really the best friends. They were more like acquaintances than friends. My life was not what I wanted it to be. Throughout all of middle school, my life was an empty void with almost no meaning until I decided to fully lean on God and his everyday truths. Near the end of my eighth-grade year, something clicked.…

    In high school, the teachers would always say that they are preparing us for what we will be writing in college. That was not accurate at all in my case.

Both required you master your grammar and sentence structure, but that was the only similarity. In high school, you are taught to section your paper in to five paragraphs.…
