Personal Narrative: My First Day At Creekview Intermediate

Decent Essays
My first day at Creekview Intermediate was August 10, 2015. On this day Molly and I sat down and talked in her office. She introduced me to the staff in the office and those that I would be working with most. Everyone seemed very nice and excited to have me with them this year. After this I went out to the cafeteria to help hand out student locker information as well as take documents from parents. While taking the documents from the parents I was able to see the diversity within the school. There was a wide range from Indian to White to Chinese. I instantly thought that was something awesome. I’m not use to diversity as I went to a small school that consisted of almost 100% white backgrounds. Along with getting to see the wide range of diversity

    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.…

    The school has one hundred and seventy-five children, from grades kindergarten through third (School Directory, 2015). Forty-six percent of the school is made up of Caucasian students. The student to teacher ratio is 14 to one (School Directory, 2015). The diversity in the school was neat to see. The elementary I attended was ninety percent white, so it was nice to see all the students from different backgrounds playing together.…

    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. I still remember how the seat belt felt tightening across my chest as the car got closer to the Middle School. During that time I knew nothing about being in a big school because the biggest school i've been in was yankee ridge. (Which is really small).…

    Before attending Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS), I was not satisfied with my personality, nor was I happy with the way I was perceived by other people. Most would think that I should have been confident because in middle school I was in the AIG program. However, I never truly felt satisfied with myself. I always got good grades, but I never felt like I earned good grades. Although I was making straight As and Bs, it was always relatively easy to earn those marks in middle school.…

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

    Many years ago, when I was in 6th grade in Westridge Middle School. I was at an all girls school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to one of our dear friends, but it was very uninteresting when you had to sit next to someone you don’t like.

    I’m a bit of a scaredy cat. I jump at random things and freak out in certain situations, much to the annoyance of my friends. I especially freak out when I’m lost. Getting lost is scary within itself. Getting lost when you’re young and tiny in a strange place is even more terrifying.…

    Nervous, I did not know what to expect. In my past experiences of working in a school district, majority of the students customarily belong to the same racial and ethnic population. It was easy to adjust to the cultural norms and expectations. However, the first thing I noticed as I walked into a school was the number of diverse students. As I continued down the hall, there were both Spanish and English posters and signs on the walls, I could hear students primarily speaking Spanish and listening to Latin-American music on their phones.…

    When I was younger, I could not wait to start school. I remember getting ready for my first picture day and making sure I picked out the perfect outfit and ensuring that my pigtails were just right for my kindergarten picture.

Even when there is a challenging school day ahead of me, like a big test or a dreaded presentation, I still look forward to going to school. I have immensely enjoyed my time as a Little Falls Community High School student, but now there is a new chapter in my learning experience that is about to begin, and that is college.…

    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.…
