Personal Narrative Essay: Middle School

Decent Essays
I have never been so embarrassed before. We were in my seventh grade health class when our teacher told us that we are doing the FitnessGram Pacer Test. I blankly stared at him for a good minute then all of it fell upon me. My hearing was blocked, palms began to sweat, while unconsciously biting my nails and shaking my right leg. As my throat began to dry, adrenaline decided to take over my unsteady body.
In 2010, my parents decided to immigrate to the United States, for my education. I started middle school with little to no knowledge of what to expect. But, as time went on I made a couple of friends, and people that bullied me because I am chubby. Whenever I sense someone looking at me a bunch of thoughts would run across through my mind,

    “Don’t forget, the paper is due next Wednesday!” My 8th period teacher, Mrs. Oakford told to my class and I as we streamed out of the cramped classroom on a Friday. We couldn’t wait to bust out of the schools doors and claim our prize of a short freedom for surviving another busy, exhausting, and slow week of middle school. I rushed to my locker, grabbed everything I would need for the homework due Monday, threw it in my bag and headed down the hall collecting my friends to walk to town to start what I would hope would be a slow but fun weekend off The weekend went quicker than I wished and before I knew it, it was late Sunday night and I still hadn’t done my homework, I realized this and got to work.…

    Freshmen year was honestly pretty good I had a lot of friends and had a lot of fun in my classes with them, going into Brunswick High School I was a little bit nervous just the fact I would be at the bottom of the totem pole now and would possibly be picked on by the older kids but it turned out to be just a myth, but some of them were definitely scary looking. Some other things I was afraid of was what the class load would be like I didn't know exactly how much tougher it would be but it honestly wasn't to much tougher than middle school. The teachers here were fairly nice didn't have many problems with them but they did definitely hold your behavior to a higher standard. High school was a change from middle school definitely just because…

    In the seventh grade, I faced a large transition in life. The previous year I had experienced middle school for the first time, but I would make that entrance again. I moved from Texas to North Dakota, where seventh grade was the first year of middle school. I took on those same fears and hopes that I had faced before, but in an unfamiliar place where I had no one except for family to give me support. I tried a lot of new things that year, mainly wrestling.…

    I bit my lip and tried the scale again. I felt my fingers fly through the progression, and I played the phrase just as my mind imagined it should sound.

    Your first year of middle school can be slightly different if you don't know anybody. The challenges I faced on the first day of school in 6th grade was the fact that I knew no one. It was really hard to get around the place because I knew nobody and asking for help was kind of hard. In class when we had to do group activities it got really awkward because we didn't know each other so there wasn't much communication.…

    When I was in high school we wrote and typed a lot of papers about people places and things, like Napoleon Bonaparte, The battle of Waterloo and JFK and his assassination. which I also hope more things like that we will happen in college and to along with improving my punctuation and spelling grammar and getting my essays to a well used grammar level that I can be proud of.

They’re going to look real dumb if they can’t last through till the end of the semester. “A little less than a week to go before the divorce option becomes available students,” Mrs. Sorun broadcasted to the few of us who actually showed up on that Wednesday. “How have you been holding up this far in the game?”…
