Personal Narrative: My Seventh Grade

Improved Essays
At the end of my seventh grade year, I moved to Washington state with my mom. As I moved away, I left behind my dad, my siblings, my friends, and much more family. I was super excited to go and have a fresh start, but I was also super scared. I had never been to a new school with people I didn’t know. I didn’t know my way around, and didn’t have anyone to show me. I was at lunch on my first day of school and a girl showed me to my next class because we were going to the same one. Little did I know, she would end up being my bestfriend. We were basically the same person. We were super loud, obnoxious, and annoying eighth graders. She was my very first friend in Washington and I will always be grateful for her. She helped me through the toughest

    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.…

All three of us had the same class and became best friends quickly, after that I made some friends and I had the best school year of my life. The 6th grader that sat next to me was Destiny who, after 6th grade, went to Somerset but to this day we are still best friends.

    Just as I had finally found a few friends as the year ended at my school, I learned that I would be new once again; my family was moving to a different school district. After a disastrous first year - lonely and disappointing - at my previous school, I was presented with a chance to start again. I was terrified. The task of fitting into yet another new school was impossible, and yet that small voice in the back of my head seemed to think the opposite. Hopes of new friends, new possibilities, new opportunities, were spread, tantalizing, before me.…

    “Don’t forget, the paper is due next Wednesday!” My 8th period teacher, Mrs. Oakford told to my class and I as we streamed out of the cramped classroom on a Friday. We couldn’t wait to bust out of the schools doors and claim our prize of a short freedom for surviving another busy, exhausting, and slow week of middle school. I rushed to my locker, grabbed everything I would need for the homework due Monday, threw it in my bag and headed down the hall collecting my friends to walk to town to start what I would hope would be a slow but fun weekend off The weekend went quicker than I wished and before I knew it, it was late Sunday night and I still hadn’t done my homework, I realized this and got to work.…

    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.

    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.…

    These past three years have been the longest and the shortest of my life. The seemingly endless homework, long term assignments, and Wednesdays that felt more like Mondays made it seem like middle school would never end. Each individual day felt it took forever, but somehow, I feel like three years have been compressed into three weeks. I remember the first thing anyone said to me at Bigelow. “Welcome to Mr. Spiegels homebase, where people jump out from behind windows and hide under recycling bins”.…

    One of my first best friends was a girl named Stephanie who is two years my junior. She lives just outside my neighborhood, so we rode the same school bus in elementary and middle school. When she was in kindergarden and I was in second grade, she invited me to sit with her on the bus, and because I have always been a rule-follower, I was reluctant to move seats. Stephanie and I grew very close, and I cherish the aspects of myself I learned about during our friendship.…
