Personal Narrative: My Transition Into Middle School

Improved Essays
As I got older apartments no longer were my haven. I was in school more often and forgot about my wonderland. Henceforth, I had to leave behind childish behavior and learn to be a proper child. The first school I went to was Coronado Village Elementary School. There I met people like Ms. Galicio, who would dress up like Thing One, would go all out on book celebrations. I met a new species of counselor, who would use puppets to teach the values of a good person. Seeing people like this allowed me to be awkward and out of the ordinary. So, this realization helped me with my transition into middle school.

After I graduated from elementary school, I entered a new dimension- middle school. It was a place between two worlds- childhood and adulthood.

    For most students, the transition from middle school to high school is the evolution from childhood to adulthood. In my case, my middle school graduation was a quick transition for another reason. The first few months of my freshman year had my parents rushing my grandfather in and out of the hospital because of his failing heart. By this point my grandfather had battled off colon cancer, 3 heart attacks, and 2 open heart surgeries. At age 74 he was not a candidate for a heart transplant but he was able to get a defibrillator.…

    The creaking of my old wooden rocking chair beneath me as I anticipated for my favorite show to come on tv. When I saw the vibrant orange, heard the theme song, and saw Tommy’s diaper fly up on our box television I knew it was time for the Rugrats. I yelled every time I saw it and clapped my hands. I could watch it for hours. I always imagined myself playing in the sandbox with Tommy, Phil, and Dill.…

    It was the only place I knew how to get to. Sure I’d gone to sixth grade orientation, but the whole school was still a big blur to me. As I reached the office, I saw a long line of kids, all waiting to receive their schedules. Middle school kids. They all looked a lot bigger than me, and since I was alone, I felt more vulnerable.…

    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).…

    “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.

    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.…

    The transition from middle school to high school was nothing like I expected. Before entering high school, for some odd reason, I envisioned high school to be like High School Musical. Unfortunately, I was mistaken; the transition to University High School was so tremendous I went from being from the top of my class of my middle school class to the low end of the spectrum. My whole high school experience is one of the most challenging incidents I confronted. Most people do not understand how demanding and rigorous is University High.…
