Personal Narrative: The New Middle School

Middle school
Let’s talk about something no one ever wants to talk about, Middle school. Junior high was one of the best and worst three years of my life. From friendships to boy drama etc. So any sixth graders out their?!
At the end of fifth grade we had the middle school counselor come and talk to us in our auditorium. All of our questions were literally about one thing. Dress code. The new middle school would have uniforms. “Green, grey, white, and black polos along with kaki or black pants.” I even hated the idea of dress codes. But I was really excited to go to a new school. I still had a long year of fifth grade to go. Milestones specifically.
Today I had to take the “big test”. I was ready to crame everything i had learned =this year

The one day that would change my life forever. So they said. At first i wasn’t nervous at all. To me, everything was the same. “ Just a new school, Same people new building.” Until i got there. That place was huge!
One of the first things i noticed was the color scheme. Everything was the same 5 colors. As if i had gone color blind. In each classroom there was 1 brown wall along with 3 white ones. Everyone had on colors dress code accordingly. The smell was like freshly printed paper. It was the weirdest. The thing about this school was my since xth grade class was the first to go to that school. The school had been built 2 years before i got there. Meaning i was apart of the fresh batch of kids.
As you grow older , you start to learn how cruel kids are. On the first day i was separated into the weird kids group. Although I had “popular” friends, i just didnt fit the criteria. I decided to join band as a way to slightly scream away anything the kids had said to me before that class. Saxaphone. I thought the insrtument was so cool. In band i met a girl named Mia. Her and i were the best of friends. She had this sense of humor unlike anybody else. She called me the “Noodle to her soup.” I loved mia like a sister. Everytime i said something she would laugh so hard she would get in trouble for it! But the time came around when friendships had to fall apart. Mia had to move to a new school.

    From middle school to high school, band became a vital part of my life. It was all I knew, it was where I felt comfortable, and this was where I pratically began learning about my leadership skills. However, my curiousity grew when I was introduced to Class Council. I thought that there was no difference, and I naively thought that since I have been a part of a leadership role for about 4 years, everyone knows me, so I thought Class Council could not be so hard. I was terribly wrong.…

    On the first day of school, I remember walking into class and seeing all of the new people in my class. I also remember meeting all of my new teachers. I had no idea how much that I would learn, and I had no idea how much I would struggle to learn the new material. One particular class that I feel that I have learned a lot in is WHAP. WHAP stands for world history AP.…

    This year has been a crazy one. I came from a public school, not knowing anyone, so I terrified and didn't know what to expect. I struggled with trusting others, time management and battling multiple tasks at once. Luckily, I had a lot of practice throughout the year. For instance when we had to record a News Show for Mr.Mora's class, I was faced with all of these problems.…

    Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret. I like to refer to this story as my “Middle School Mid-Life Crisis”, since I questioned the purpose of going to school almost every day, and never felt motivated to do anything. Dreading almost every day of school, not having stable mental, emotional, or physical health, and feeling dissatisfied with myself as a student. My mind set was always on countdown mode, “I just have to make it through this class period. I only have 20 more problems to do.”…

    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.…

    Being an immigrant is a title, but I view it more as a story, my story. On my way to America I’m reciting , “Dil Dil Pakistan Jaan Jaan Pakistan”, in my mind. The literal translation of that is “Heart Heart Pakistan Soul Soul Pakistan”. I was the definition of a stereotypical immigrant. A heavy Pakistani accent, for sure a curry lover, and of course I wanted to go to Harvard, the only option available for me.…

    I reckon the day when I was in a real hurry to register the classes for the spring semester, which was the very first of mine here at Ole Miss. In the very final day of registration, I had my classes selected and I am very glad that I had been in one of the most perfect Writing Class which I had ever taken in my life. I had never thought writing would be this effective in expressing views and expressions to other people. I knew, though writing is always fun to those who have good grammar and language, but I had always been missing the fact that writing doesn’t always ask for language and grammar when you are deep into the main theme of what you are writing on. I was very much afraid with the starting papers as I had a fear in mind about the…
