My Middle School Life Essay

Improved Essays
Life as a child is easy, they have fun, play with friends, learn the basics in school, and have no worries. As a child grow up, like we once had, we see images that inspire us to become who we want to be. When I was six, I have seen many photos and videos of Space. Knowing how we have the technology to create and build shuttles to launch people in space, and being able to see the world from above amazed me. As the years passed, so did my age, I slowly began to realize what life truly is. It’s not just about imagining to become who we want to be, but by working hard to achieve our major goals in life.

While my years in elementary is more peaceful, middle school was terrible. The students in Middle school seemed to be aggressive based on what I saw. Bloody fights would occur in the school locker room, tobacco cans were found in bushes, and excessive writings were found in bathroom walls (either making jokes, teasing a student, or making fun of a teacher). Bullies were an issue to a few students, several bullies were ignorant enough to judge on what shoes a student is wearing, or the way how they dress. Knowing how rude the students are in middle school frustrated me, but I don’t not understand why a student care how another dresses, it’s none of their concerns, and yet, they still do it.
As I completed my Middle school year, I began my first year in high school after the summer break. During my first semester, I

Overall, the hardest thing I had to deal with, was the ridiculous people around me. I respected them, but there are some materials the teacher is trying to teach, and I always get distracted from my classmate. My English teacher back in my sophomore year even had to ask the resource officer to come and observe the class and talk to any student that act up No teacher must ever have to ask their resource officer to observe their class. This just shows how immature students are. However, I wasn’t going to let that stop me, and still progress through my school years. Finally, I graduated from high school, earned my diploma, and now taking college. With the experience I learned from school and seeing how a few people act up, I will avoid any problems I see, and use the knowledge I have to assist me in

    After almost one-hundred and eighty days, the 2015-2016 school year is approaching an end. So far, I have concluded that middle school is basically like building a house. Before middle school started, in fifth grade, the house only had the boards and the main skeleton of the whole structure. All of the basics are learned in elementary school: learning how to read, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, the founding of America,, etcetera, but by the time students reach sixth grade, new knowledge builds onto what is already known. Letters are added into the familiar math equations; stories are written with all of the reading and grammar knowledge; unfamiliar people, wars, and awakenings add onto the history of America.…

    Middle school can be an odd and rough time for kids, as they change from being sheltered youth to responsible young adults. I failed miserably at handling that transition. The classes taught in middle school were supposed to be easy, especially now that I look in retrospect. Yet, I regularly brought home B’s and low A’s, at best, on my report card. I had barely challenged myself in middle school, if at all.…

    One of the effects of World War I was that many high school students dropped out in order to work while their fathers were away at war. With the Great Depression, this problem only increased. Schools across the country reacted to this by making lower grades more rigorous, since many students would only obtain an eighth grade education. This junior high system remained in place until around the 1960s, when the Carnegie foundation funded a study that brought about several changes, eventually evolving into the middle school concept. Focusing on a student centered environment, the middle school concept rose to popularity in the 1980s through the early twenty-first century and still remains popular in various forms today.…

    Early 1900s Education

    Education is one of the most valued components in society. It was not until the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War that educational reforms began. However, it is concerning that public schools in the 21st century still follow a framework developed in the early 1900s. The current society has drastically changed in their values, culture, and overall modernization in comparison to the society of the early 1900s. According to What Every Middle School Teacher Should Know, by Dave F. Brown and Trudy Knowles, the structure of an average school day was based off the average factory workday.…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    People have always been easier to mold into the way society wants them the younger they are, but in modern society, children are expected to attend school throughout high school. This is what makes middle school a critical total institution. During middle school students are shaped by their peers, teachers, and the structure of school into how society wants them to act.

    Three years elapsed, and with those years gone, so were my hardships. The start of my fourth year marked the turning point for me and what made my final year in high school a memorable one. Unlike the years prior where my opinion didn’t matter, my senior year was when I was finally recognized and praised for my abilities. I felt like I was an asset to the team rather than someone who was just taking up space. I was given first priority when the time had come to pick numbers.…

    A few years ago like when I was 11 or 12 a lot of things were going through my mind of growing up and being a teenager. I knew this was going to be a big step for me and my surroundings, but I was ready for it. A thing that I always kept in my mind was turning 15 fast because my parents were always really strict with us. One of the things that they didn't let us do is put on makeup or paint our nails. I hated that because all my friends would do it and I was the only one that wasn't allowed to.…

    The Life of a Teenager Lazy, irresponsible, and immature, that is how most people would say defines a common day teenager. What causes this stereotype? Not all people in their teenage years act completely recklessly. If a teenager was asked if they thought they were unproductive, forgetful, and premature, most would say no, especially those involved in school, sports, and whatever other activities. School, for students who put in effort, is stressful and tiring.…

    When entering junior high, we were constantly reminded by teachers, parents, and school administrators how different it was from elementary school. It was supposed to be the start of a transition from childhood to young adulthood, and though I discounted many of these sentiments at the time, looking back it certainly was. In an instant, it seemed, everyone started swearing and the hallways began to smell of a putrid mixture of not enough or too much cologne. For the first time we had to change before gym, no one really sure whether it was more socially acceptable to change in a bathroom stall or feign confidence by doing it out in the open. Talk swirled of who got their periods, who was wearing what bra size, and which boys needed to stop cultivating…
