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.…
The beginning of eighth grade, in all of its horror and glory. Students in hordes piling up at the front doors, a jumble of frenzied emotions. New people, new clothes, new supplies, new teachers, new schools, new locker, new classes, new, new, new. I could feel the anticipation in the young sixth graders eyes, the excitement in the seventh graders expressions. Then, there was my grade.…
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. 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 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.…
Do you ever see the way you change and it all seems like it is okay until it isn’t? In the middle of my middle school year of 8th grade, I had met some new friends and started hanging out with them. At lunch we were all just laughing and having a good time and everything in life was going great. We all had been eating our food and talking about sports and trucks and what plans we had coming up that evening. As lunch came to and end we all headed to our classes like a normal everyday routine.…
Who would have thought making the hardest decision can lead to the simplest solution ever. It was the summer of fourth grade I had a surgery that same summer so my mother didn’t want me to worry about anything. Although, I instead that I should start looking for some middle schools to attend in the future. My mother said that was fine but to only look for the best school that I would get the right educations. There were many wonderful schools but there was one in particular that I wanted to go to Doolin.…
At long last I have entered middle school as a 6th grader. The first thing on my mind was to join a sport with my friends. We all easily agreed on basketball, since it was the only one we knew how to play. I somehow ended up showing last for try outs. I didn’t let that get to me and I tried my best with my tutor watching me from the sidelines.…
Who would have known that middle school could be so cruel. Seriously, at that young age I thought that the kids would be sweet as gum drops. I was dead wrong. It was as if it was a crime to not have been a stick figure. It was a crime for to embrace your intellectual side.…
Math has always been a difficulty for me because math is very hard in general and takes lots of effort to understand. I somewhat struggled in middle school because in like the 6th and the 7th grade I easily achieved high scores on majority of my tests and assessments. Then in 8th grade I had a really difficult time on understanding the new concepts the class learned such as the equation y = mx+b because it was really different from what I'm use to.…
My Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose was a math grade. What? A math grade? How would a math grade greatly affect someone? Coming from someone who has gotten straight “A’s” in all her classes, a math grade - a low “C” - would probably cause lots of commotion.…
