Don T Judge A Book

Decent Essays
Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover People are going to make assumptions about you anywhere you go, it’s just a part of life. From the way you dress, to the way you look, to the things you hear and many more. But who are we to judge? My eighth year I transferred to Pershing Middle School and I was considered the new girl, I hated it. Everybody had their own clique of friends and everybody knew each other and then there’s me…walking around school like a lost puppy. It wasn’t hard for me to make friends I’m always open to making new friends; I love meeting new people. As the year went by I started opening up to people and started to get to know everybody. There was this one girl named Corie and I was kind of iffy with because I always kept hearing bad stuff about her but she would be around some of my friends.

My first day of high school I was really anxious because I didn’t get to see some my friends over the summer. When the lunch bell rings I get too excited because I get to see everybody and make more new friends. As I’m walking to the courtyard I see my friend Malik and guess who was standing right there? Corie! I wasn’t going to be petty since it’s a new start and it’s to be mature so I was cordial with her. As we’re talking she seemed like a down to earth girl that I could hang with and I kind of regret not getting to know her. As the school is year is going by our friendship starts to build but then I heard she was talking about me and then that made me think maybe this is probably we weren’t friends also. Instead of asking her I completely cut her off; If you’re going to talk about somebody then don’t be friends with them simple! The funniest part was that she was still trying to talk to me after the

My experience was somewhat neutral due to the fact that as a child I loathed reading and writing, but as I went on through my education I grew to love it.…

    “Black Hair” by Gary Soto has a specific line that reminds me of what an average day in high school for me was like, “The days were dull. I did what there was to do from morning until the bell sounded”. I usually felt this way because, like Soto in his autobiographical story he felt alienated from everyone around him. I am about to tell you my story of a time in my life where I felt shunned by everyone.…

    She was a great friend to have because my brother and I would hang out with her every day. After a couple of days later we met her grandfather and he wasn’t always happy plus he smoked and drank everyday which was weird and it was also disgusting. He would get mad at Melissa just for her hanging out with either me or my brother, because her mother will always be working and she doesn’t have anyone else to take of her. After a couple months later I have learned that her mother sister was also living with her grandparents and it shocked me because apparently she had been there since we met. Christina was her name and she was a cool person to be around with she took care of my brother…

    Why Kerman Middle School needs an anti bully program During my fourth grade year, I wasn't considered popular. I mostly talked to one girl, other than my classmates. She would get picked on because her appearance, or people would talk behind her back and make up negative lies about her, which were never true. Whenever rumors or negative comments were said about her, we always knew it came from a classmate of ours. Since I was the targets “best friend” I was become an easy target for the same girl.…

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

    Reflection On IAT Scores

    When I first learned that I would have to complete multiple IAT tests, I automatically had an idea of what I thought my scores were going to be for each test. For all of the tests, I assumed that I would receive a score of moderate preference. I especially assumed that I would receive a score of moderate preference on the Race IAT test because that was the score that I had received when I took the same test last year. Turns out, I received a moderate preference score on the Gender- Career and Age IAT tests, and a strong preference score on the Race, and Disability IAT tests. I think when I first found out that I had received a score of strong preference on the Race and Disability IAT tests I was at first very shocked and confused about…

    For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…
