It quickly went from a nice, fun, vacation to a painful, terrible, nightmare. Just about every year before school starts while my mom has meetings for teachers, my dad takes my sister and I on a small, five day trip to different places. This year, we decided to go to St Louis. Little did I know that this trip would soon turn south very, very, fast.…
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).…
The rest of the year was great to me, I finally saw the rainbow. I gained many new friends and I was/am doing fairly well in my classes. I overcame an obstacle of mine that was really large, and I am proud of myself for doing so. I finally got to see what it looks like when the clouds part. I went from being a stress mess to a straight success (maybe not success yet, but soon).…
Freshmen year was honestly pretty good I had a lot of friends and had a lot of fun in my classes with them, going into Brunswick High School I was a little bit nervous just the fact I would be at the bottom of the totem pole now and would possibly be picked on by the older kids but it turned out to be just a myth, but some of them were definitely scary looking. Some other things I was afraid of was what the class load would be like I didn't know exactly how much tougher it would be but it honestly wasn't to much tougher than middle school. The teachers here were fairly nice didn't have many problems with them but they did definitely hold your behavior to a higher standard. High school was a change from middle school definitely just because…
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.…
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.…
Summer School has taught me many things that will stick with me throughout the last year of my High School career. One of the many things that a learned is not to procrastinate as well as making sacrifices for the better of myself. It has taught me many different things that I will be practicing and putting into my life the last year of high school. The most important thing that I learned this summer was how important attendance is. One thing that I have learned is to get my stuff done and not procrastinate.…
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.…
Last year was a tough year, I was the new kid and I had a huge decision to make about my future and my education. I had been given a great opportunity and I was not sure if I was going to take it. If I took the opportunity my life would be changed forever. My mind was having a war against friends or future and at the end I knew I made the correct decision. Here is the story!…
Once, as a child, my mother told me I would change as I got older. At the time, I didn’t believe her, I thought that I would always stay the same throughout school. But, now, I know that I’ve changed, physically and mentally. Especially during Middle School. I got smarter in middle school because I know more math strategies and formulas.…
Throughout my first two years of highschool, my teachers stressed heavily about being prepared for the 'ACT'; which is a test that covers four major subjects, math, english, reading and science. My years of middle and highschool in were suppose to prepare me for the test. My first time taking the test was 11th grade year in the month of April. The highschool i attended was sponsoring the ACT test so all 11th and 12th graders took the test. At this time the test was not a big deal to me because in my mind I thought i knew everthing i needed to know and that the test would be breeze.…
