Personal Statement: If I Am Able To Get Into Middle School

Decent Essays
If I am able to get into middle school, but looking at my grades, there is a VERY slim chance I will succeed and get there. But, if there is a miracle, these are the things I will change about myself in class. I will try to get my work done because I have many missing assignments at my elementary school, which is causing my horrible grades. I will try to listen more in class because sometimes I do not understand or I just don’t listen to the teachers when they are doing a lesson, and I want to be more interested in classwork and instructions that the teachers put for us when we do something we haven’t really done. Another thing I’d like to improve in at my school before I go over to the 7th grade is to get better at everything we do

    Middle school can be an odd and rough time for kids, as they change from being sheltered youth to responsible young adults. I failed miserably at handling that transition. The classes taught in middle school were supposed to be easy, especially now that I look in retrospect. Yet, I regularly brought home B’s and low A’s, at best, on my report card. I had barely challenged myself in middle school, if at all.…

    The Grades Challenge Freshman year was a difficult year for my grades. I was failing a few classes and it seemed like the harder I focused on the percentage, the farther I got away from it.

I was worried that maybe something was wrong; maybe I wasn’t as smart as I used to be.…

This didn’t last long because Algebra was a tough class that tested my abilities and my mind to their capacity.…
