Personal Narrative: My Life Has Been Simple In Middle School

Improved Essays
My life has been simple in middle school, I never had trouble making friends, but it was very hard to keep a friend for a long time. I always end up fighting with my friends. I didn 't only fight my friends, I sometimes even fought people that I didn 't know who the were. I was the type of girl who always got in trouble for the stupidest thing. For example one day I was going to the bathroom and the girl in front of me slapped the door at me, but the door never hit me, I still walked up to her and said "try me one more time" as I pulled her jacket. We both got in trouble and spend the day in school suspension. I was not the only trouble maker in my family, my sisters also got in trouble. In middle school, I used to ride the bus with my sisters …show more content…
This is when hit me, all this time I was using "self-defense" as an excuse to get out of trouble. Everything was clear to me, I now understood why I was getting all these chances from the principal. Everyone who cared about me gave me chances to better myself and choose the right path. I broke into tears because I understood, everyone who gave me a chance cared about me and I was dumb enough not to see it. I realized that all my older siblings turned themselves around when they went to high school. I also realized that everyone who saw ugly side had faith in me that it was never too late to change. After my mom asked me that questions, I started to question everything I did, all the fights I fought alone or with my siblings. I spend the day crying and apologizing to my mom, she said "I forgive you, but first learn to forgive yourself". The next day, I went to school hoping to open a new chapter in my life. I start the day with a positive attitude and a big smile. Some of my friends started to judge me and said mean things like "is today an opposite day?", I tried to ignore them, I guess some people hate seeing others happy. Everything was over when a girl who I fought before said "did you forget to take your pills?", these little words destroyed my day. It was impossible to ignore something like this. Imagine the person you hate on this earth said these words when you are trying really hard to be nice. I felt like it impossible to speak or breathe, as if her words were choking me, the only way I was going to breathe was attack her, so I walked up to her and pulled her hair and a fight broke out. At that point I started to hate everyone especially people like her who always have something against people who are happy. I never knew being happy can

    This personal narrative is going to be about the first day of Middle School and my experiences as a 6th grader. It is going to go after my emotions and other descriptive details of the first day. I still remember how the seat belt felt tightening across my chest as the car got closer to the Middle School. During that time I knew nothing about being in a big school because the biggest school i've been in was yankee ridge. (Which is really small).…

    After reading Jeannette Walls’ Glass Castle, I realize that she and I have a lot in common. From her parents arguing to her being bullied at school to her father dying, she went through a lot of situations that resemble some of the less known and serious problems that I had while I was about the same age. Jeannette had a tough life while growing up. However, even though I had similar issues, I lived and still live a relatively sheltered life. I, like her, simply viewed everything that happened as normal and didn’t realize that it was abnormal until I got into fifth or sixth grade.…

    “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.…

    My first day of middle school was hell, I have always been good at school. My grades have never been bad and neither have my actions and or attendance. Probably from having a mom that is also a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school.…
