Personal Narrative: Math Vs Middle School

Decent Essays
Math wasn't always difficult, in the past I honestly think I was better at math or maybe math was just easier back then. In elementary school I remember that in award ceremony's I would be rewarded 3 math medals and only received 1 language arts medal. Now as for middle school, math did start to get a bit more challenging. If there was ever a problem that I struggled on I would just ask my friends or the teacher for help. In the past when there was a difficult problem I would just work on my own to figure out the solution, and if I couldn't find it I'd just ask for help. The reason why I'd ask for help is because once I know the method on solving these types of problems, then I can start completing similar problems on my own. I would try many

    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.…

    Sitting in a hard plastic chair in my math class I felt paralyzed. The heat in the room was unimaginable on the cool autumn day. I could not be the only one that was feeling it. At the same time I could barely keep head straight as the math test stared back at me with harsh eyes telling me “you will never be able to pass this class,” in a slithering tone. A drop of sweat rolled down the side of my face.…

Back then, I thought this well-roundedness I sought between these necessities would offer me self-satisfaction. 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.…

    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 tried a lot of new things that year, mainly wrestling.…
