Personal Narrative: My Sixth Grade

Improved Essays
Sixth grade Is like If the pits of the underworld and a garbage dump mixed together! I was shaky and nervous on the first day of 6th grade. People stared at me without a reason at all!
It was like I was In a dark forest and all around me were bright yellow eyes. I was terrified. I didn’t talk at all In my first period, but Inside I was screaming with pain and anxiety. I was new, I was fresh out of the oven ready to be eaten alive by the 6th grade teachers and children! Throughout the whole day I was nothing more than a sack of depression and social anxiety. I kept to the sides, hidden, I was In the shadows like a rat. The next day I came to school trying out a different attitude. I was trying to act optimistic and actually social, but the truth Is: I was dying inside. I had two

Therefore, With the increased optimism, I finally made a friend, Vanessa Ruiz. She introduced me to all new people that are immensely close friends of mine now. When me and Vanessa became friends I had increased confidence, I felt like Superman with unstoppable power! Later on at lunch, I was walking behind the school to the rocky field that glee club practices on, It was hot and dusty like the desert, yet they were all still singing till their throats gave out. They were singing “ rather be “ one of my favorite songs! Without a shadow of a doubt, I started to sing along and momentarily soon I was an official glee member! This boosted my confidence drastically! I went from a lump of coal to a magnificent, glistening, shiny diamond, from a infinitesimal hopeless caterpillar to a majestic, beautiful, bouncing butterfly! I made friends with a whole new group people who introduced me to other people! I just kept growing. Consequently, now wherever I explore I have people saying “ hi Austin “ and “ hey, what’s up Austin” and half the time I don’t even remember their names! I feel remorse that I don’t, but I don’t

    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.…

    If you had asked any of my peers for a description of who I am, they would have said that I was someone who was shy, and possibly even a bit awkward. This was a personality trait that I had been struggling with throughout the majority of my life. I had grown up as an only child, incessantly feeling out of place among my peers. It wasn’t until the middle of my freshman year of high school that I gained the self-confidence I had only dreamed about.…

    When I first entered high school, I was terrified, but a little excited. The idea of being surrounded by a bunch of strangers, and being in a new environment made me tremble. When my first day of high school finally came, I realized that it was a much different experience than I expected. There were no teachers really guiding you around, the only person you could depend on was yourself. I learned that more and more everyday.…

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.…

    The people at school did not even see a difference, or they just never told me about it. I sat back and wondered why I had put myself through all that tedious work, just so everyone would see a fake version of myself. My whole outlook had changed on how I viewed myself and other people. If people did not like me for me then they are not people I want to be around. I am so happy that from being influenced by my best friend because, I have…
