Middle School: A Short Story

Decent Essays
The world doesn’t run on your time, sadly I learned sooner than I thought. It’s nothing like being in the fifth grade ready to move on to middle school, new friends, new responsibilities, sadly new teachers, and let’s not forget better school lunch. Seven thirty and we’re all waiting on our math teacher. Butterflies in my tummy and the excitement of a new school year made me more nervous than a criminal being question by the cops. Hoping my teacher turns out to be as sweet as the pudding my mom packed me for lunch. Patiently waiting listening to the sound of my heart beat looking at the door every time I hear footsteps.

My fingers were covered in sweat, and they shook so much that you could hear it in my playing. I shifted to the wrong notes, my rhythm was off, and my anxiety crashed through the roof.…

During that time I knew nothing about being in a big school because the biggest school i've been in was yankee ridge. (Which is really small).…

    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.

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.…

    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.…
