I knew my 6th grade year was gonna be a huge problem for me if i didn’t stand up for myself. When those people wanted to mess with me.…
It quickly went from a nice, fun, vacation to a painful, terrible, nightmare. Just about every year before school starts while my mom has meetings for teachers, my dad takes my sister and I on a small, five day trip to different places. This year, we decided to go to St Louis. Little did I know that this trip would soon turn south very, very, fast.…
Hall-Dale Middle School vs. Hall-Dale High School The transition from middle school to high school can be extremely difficult for some, as there are many differences between the two. “The switch to high school can be disastrous if a child doesn 't make the transition smoothly -- more kids fail ninth grade than any other grade.” There are similarities, but the differences outnumber the similarities greatly. Middle schoolers for the most part are partaking in a difficult and confusing time in their lives, as puberty is ongoing.…
Transitioning from middle school to high school is scary enough, not to mention finding out that your best friends won’t be attending that same school adds a little pressure on a pre-teen who, for the most part is really shy. When I first started high school I had a cousin who was a year older than me, she showed me around school and I ended up hanging out with her and her friends for a few months. Then she introduced me to some of her newer friends who were in the same grade as me. They were nice people and they got me through the first year of high school, but I never felt like I belonged to “their group”.…
Going to middle school I’m looking forward to middle school! And the teachers can help me and other people can help me. And when I get to talk to the counselor she or he can help my problem and I am worried about getting directions will be so hard for me to listen in the classroom but the greatest thing is the the Cafeteria have a ice cream machine and there are many kind of different food. There or a band and choir and orchestra. so good…
When I was in middle school I never really took any photos on a digital camera so I don’t have a lot of photos where I can look at and just talk about them but in my head I can go back to when I was thirteen years old starting middle school. In my head I can go back and see everything and go back to that journey. Why thirteen?…
These past three years have been the longest and the shortest of my life. The seemingly endless homework, long term assignments, and Wednesdays that felt more like Mondays made it seem like middle school would never end. Each individual day felt it took forever, but somehow, I feel like three years have been compressed into three weeks. I remember the first thing anyone said to me at Bigelow. “Welcome to Mr. Spiegels homebase, where people jump out from behind windows and hide under recycling bins”.…
Midway through delivering a lesson to my students, my classroom door flung open with a crash as though the Reckoning had come to collect my soul. In fact, in a non biblical sense, it had, but it wasn’t my soul on the line, it was my position as a teacher in the district. My principal, squatty and stout, with salt and pepper hair, and dark ink colored bags under his eyes stood in the doorway and raised his index and thumb at me in the same fashion small children make guns out of their hands and said, “We need to talk…now,” and then backed out of the doorway into the hallway. Quickly and nervously, I instructed my students of their task as I made my way to the back of the classroom and into the hall.…

As I open my eyes from the slumber of what seemed like an eternity, I quickly realized that today was the first day of going to a public middle school. There have been days when I was just dreaming about going to public school, being able to rant in the disruptive corridor to my friends about the test that was imminent in the next class as the late bell is virtually trying to blare through the black speakers in every classroom and in every corner of the hallway. It was these moments that I yearned for while leaning on my chair as it makes a displeasing noise that awakes the room as everyone waits for the teacher. Seconds feel like minutes as I anxiously tap the lead of my turquoise mechanical pencil into the wooden desk that has been scraped…
My first year of middle school was very interesting! I did a lot of different things and made lots of friends. Some good things that came out of this year was that I was one of the 5 starters on the A team in basketball and volleyball. I also got closer to some of the 8th grade girls, which was pretty sweet since I do not have that many friends that are girls. Another really great thing that came out of the year was that I was able to keep my grades up and have most of my work in on time.…
Middle school was a very unusual time in my life. Not unusual in the sense that I had strange things happen to me, more in the sense that everything just seemed hard to latch on too. For example, I went to elementary school at Haubstadt Community school, but I didn't go on to attend the middle school at Haubstadt like most of my peers did. Instead, I went to Scott Middle School, which is located in McCutchanville. I knew nobody and I felt out of place.…
From grade 6 to grade 8 I attended EJ James Public School in Oakville. In grade 6 I did a lot of mental math worksheets to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I remember a lot of students would complain that it was too much pressure. I never liked mental math, but I did have a good memory so it was an advantage I had.…
The middle school phase is a crucial stage in everyone 's life. It’s a transition between child and young adult. Everything changes during this time, but for me this was even more true. The summer between my seventh grade school year and my eighth grade school year I moved from Lubbock, Texas to Independence, Missouri. This has been undoubtedly the biggest change I’ve ever experienced and has had an enormous effect on me and who I am today.…
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…
