An Embarrassing Experience in My Childhood
What if you have a girlfriend when you are in middle school? What if the fate of your education depends on you? On a school day, you meet your dream girl. What you discover means nothing will even be the same for you again. In fact, it won’t be the same for anyone, and I am no exception. Most of us, who have survived through the middle school years, have had an embarrassing moment when we wished the earth would open up and swallow us, and I am no exception. I just had an embarrassing moment in my life because I accomplished ridiculous things to a teenage girl left me with a feeling of failure, but I got over it with a dance which helped heal the deflated emotion.

While I was staring at her face, she suddenly turned her face toward me. Avoiding that look, I tried to turn my head, but it could not move. I expected an empathetic whisper coming out from her mouth. “What are you looking at? Go away,” she said angrily while she was glaring. I looked down at my desk. “Nothing, I want to make your acquaintance,” I hesitantly answered, and tried to remain in control, reminding myself that I had nothing to fear. I mortified myself when she caught me gazing attentively at her face. When I heard her disagreeable voice came out, a crippled animal running on broken legs. “What I am doing?

I became convinced that she did not like …show more content…
While I was walking home, I proposed to go to the Back to New School Year Dance party alone in the afternoon. At first, I wasn’t getting used to this circumstance; but after a while I began to like to participate in the party. It was magical through the dance I scrambled to keep the depression from me. I danced and swayed to the music as fake snow fell from above, catching the glitter of a giant silver disco ball as it spread the flickering mood, lighting the gym. It was beautiful, and I was thoroughly enjoying the dance. Eventually, I scrambled out of the sinking pit of failure, as I blew her out of my mind and danced up a storm.
Still, I guess the ridiculous things I did as a thirteen-years-old schoolboy to get over the embarrassment of that girl. I encountered a sweet girl at school, but I discovered that she did not look at me twice. Then, I went to the dance that led me back to focus on my learning how to survive in middle school; I would never make the same mistake again. Also, I learned that you should forgive yourself for doing something ridiculous by just looking at it as if you are

    Pacing walking over to my locker, my music was blasting. Happily, I recall listening to one of my favorite songs, and I found myself strutting throughout the hallway. Quickly stopping I started laughing at myself, as I slowed my walking down to a slower pace. Finally, I had concluded to smile, yet I was elated inside. The surface of my face was emotionless, as my eyes drifted past my locker outside through the back door.…

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend, Georgina Larson by the water fountain. She’s never hard to find, because her hair is light blonde, and she’s always wearing really flashy outfits.…
