Every since I was a little boy I always been big. Since the day I came out of my mama’s womb. But as I grew older I started to realize that I was different from others, because I would notice that everybody else is smaller than me, and that I was the biggest in my class. And when I went home every day, I realized as I got older that I was depressed. I was 9 years old, I’ll never forget it, It was me, and my mom at the mall going to get me some school clothes for the new school year. I’m in the 3rd grade now, and I feel like I’m grown. We’re in Belk and it was this really nice red Ralph Lauren shirt, and I wanted it so bad, I showed it to my mother and she said, “Oh that is a nice shirt, but that’s not your size, let’s go over here to where …show more content…
I’m dressing really good, going in and out of my classes meeting all of these new people. But what’s different from Elementary and Middle School is that in elementary, I was a car-rider, and now in Middle School a bus-rider in a neighborhood full of hood children. And just because I stayed in the hood, does not mean I’m hood because trust me, I’m not. So I’m at the bus stop, waiting on the bus, it’s so hot that the sweat is dripping off of my brow. Eventually after a couple of minutes the bus decides to come, and I got on. After about 5 minutes on the way to school this boy named Daquan said, “Aye nigga, what the fuck your fat ass lookin’ at ?”. And when he said that I was took off guard because nobody ever said anything like that to me so I didn’t know what to do. I was already conscious about my weight because of previous incidents, so at this point I was starting to get fed up. Every day of 6th grade I would get picked on about my weight, and I was tired of living. I would wake up every day and ask my parents could they take me to school, and they wouldn’t never take me. So I purposely missed the bus so I wouldn’t have to ride it. The confidence I first had was gone and some. I was in an all-time high depression. I didn’t want to wake up in the morning, I wanted to kill myself because I felt like life wasn’t worth living anymore. I would wake up every morning

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…

    A little taller than all the girls in my grade, I needed a size or two bigger. In 7th grade I was in the Juniors section, while others were still in the girls. When girls asked each other what size a shirt was, I prayed that they didn’t notice my tags. I knew they would find out I was in a larger size, so I came up with a plan. I figured that if I lost some weight, I would fit into a smaller size, no matter my height.…

    This personal narrative is going to be about the first day of Middle School and my experiences as a 6th grader. It is going to go after my emotions and other descriptive details of the first day.

    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.…
