Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life

Decent Essays
This summer you gave us an awesome book called Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life. Then you told us to compare our sixth-grade experience with the main character’s, Rafe K. The truth is there is nothing in common, but it is really different.
My sixth grade school year was pleasant and easy. I actually followed all the rules and was obedient.

Also never in my life got detention, suspended or expelled. Another thing is I actually like my middle school and love my teachers. All in all, my sixth grade school year is better than I thought would be and I loved it

In the book, Rafe K. the main character has really different sixth-grade experience. His year chaotic and out of hand. Rafe’s goal unlike me was to break all the rules in

    A couple years ago when I was in 1st grade I started at a new school in Pasadena, California. The school was called Garvanza elementary. I liked living in California and having new friends at this school, but about half the school year my mother wanted to move to Arizona with my brother, sister and I. We didn't want to leave, but my mother said that she already got a house and a job over there. Even after we kept telling her that we didn't want to leave she made us pack everything and put it in the truck.…

    I’ve been in school for about 11 years, every year is different, but yet the same. Because we are at the same school for years, it’s the same people, same school, and same everyday routine. Some years are better than others, but the overall best year that I’ve experienced is or was, 8th grade. The fun field trips to places, High School acceptance, and it’s the last year of middle school.…

    It was the only place I knew how to get to. Sure I’d gone to sixth grade orientation, but the whole school was still a big blur to me. As I reached the office, I saw a long line of kids, all waiting to receive their schedules. Middle school kids. They all looked a lot bigger than me, and since I was alone, I felt more vulnerable.…

    Tycianna Caldwell Reynolds ENGL 1010-01N 8 Oct. 2015 Taken for Granted: America We as individuals are very quick to look only at the bad sides of situations. We are sometimes only able to see the things that we do not have and overlook the things that we do. We take for granted things like freedom, equality, and being able to gain an education. Many forget that these things are not guaranteed to others that live in different places. I realized how fortunate I am to live in America when I met someone from another country.…

    Now as we all know, 6th grade wasn’t a good school year. People looked weird, everything was new, it was just an awkward system all together. In 6th grade everything didn’t feel right. It was like I was back in 5th grade but without the teacher taking the class everywhere. I started to notice as the year went by, the 5th grade part of 6th grade was fading in a good way.…

But it’s not always about problems, stress and sadness, there's also good times, like when we went to camp duncan in 6th grade, when I performed in the V-Show in 7th grade,…

    Middle school is an inevitable phase of many of our lives. It is also a very memorable time- for both good and bad reasons. Yet, we all somehow manage to strive through no matter how tough the year gets. For me, at first, none of the typical horrifying middle school stereotypes fit how my sixth grade year was going. I had plenty of friends, understood my classes, and I didn’t appear to be too awkward.…

    Essay On Sixth Grade

    Sixth grade for was one of my most difficult years of my life so far for a few reasons. First off, sixth grade was my first year of middle school, meaning a whole new school, new school system with class schedules, lockers, multiple teachers, and having passing periods were all new concepts for me to grasp as a kid. More importantly however, the second reason sixth grade was so difficult for me was that over the summer leading to that school year, me and my family left the Catholic church that my mom’s family had been going to for about a hundred years or so, and it was a completely different environment for our entire family because we spent the entire summer up to the first week of school looking for a new church in our area, going to a new…

    What do you remember from high school? Friends, sports, pep rallies, standardized tests. You wouldn 't normally think of standardized tests when thinking of things you remember from high school, but for many students that struggled with them in high school it is a large part of their high school experience. We should stop using Standardized tests in Texas schools because they have changed the way teachers teach in a detrimental way, have delayed students’ graduations, add unneeded stress to students’ and put a strain on already tight school budgets.…

    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.…

    Year 7: A Short Story

    Year 7 was hard, moving from a small primary school with just over 100 students to a secondary with close to 17 000 was a massive step. It was probably made even harder by the fact that that summer I had just gotten my hearing aids and was not used to being able to hear my own footsteps for the wind. I was bullied but now I question the intelligence of them as they would sometimes whisper behind my back and if I took my aids out, hay presto I could not hear them anymore, yay. In lessons, apart from the occasional few, I sat in the front, which was nice as it meant I could hear what they were trying to…
