Personal Narrative: My First Day In Middle School

Improved Essays
My last first day in middle school wasn't something anyone would want to experience. Everyone hopes and wishes that they get classes with their bestfriends. As for me I did hope and wish I would be able to have my bestfriend by my side in one of my classes, but I was told that I was enrolled in a program called iLead. The program was based off kids who didn't do so well their seventh grade year attitude and academically wise. I was in there because of how poor my attendance was throughout my first year of middle school and how that effected my grades.

At first I was okay with the thought of the program but once they told us we wouldn't be able to be in electives and be excluded from some things the regular eighth grade classes were doing because of how immature some of the classmates were. I understood where the teachers were coming from the more that the class had a conversation about it, everyone in the class started to realize that they were right and did need to mature and the teachers ended up deciding to allow us to do more of the things other classes were doing. I myself did also mature and that led to me realizing that all the teachers wanted was for us to succeed and be able to pass our classes.

The more I would actually sit down and talk with them I became closer and closer and had better relationships with them. At the time that I had my iLead teachers I didn't really have such a good relationship with my family and my teachers helped change that, to this day I'm very thankful for everything they did for

    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).…

    As I looked around at my new classmates on my first day of public school, I was in complete shock. All around me I saw students who did not care in the slightest about their education and who saw school as simply a chore instead of an adventure. They slumped down in their chairs, cheated off of each other left and right, rolled their eyes at teachers, and spent each day watching the clock, waiting for the bell to ring that would released from their “prison.” That August morning, I felt like I was in a completely different world: one where I did not belong.…

    Graduation speech Juan C “Nothing is over until the moment you stop trying.”- Bryan Dyson Being Comfortable has been a real struggle for me these past years i’ve been here in holmes.6th grade for a 5th grader is scary, not knowing what is coming for you. 7th grade becomes easier because you already have an idea of how junior high is. 8th is all about reflecting over 6th and 7th grade. But it’s not always about problems, stress and sadness, there's also good times, like when we went to camp duncan in 6th grade, when I performed in the V-Show in 7th grade,…

    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.

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

    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.…
