Eighth Air Force

Joe Bucks was just an ordinary 7th grade kid. In fact, he was so ordinary that everybody in his grade looked at him as if he were nothing. Everybody around him had some sort of talent, from running to playing the violin. Everybody had warned Joe that seventh grade is the hardest year to go through, but he never imagined it would be this bad. Nobody wanted to be his friend, and everybody made fun of him for having no talent. Joe was a little wimpier than the rest of his peers which made it that…

While my school is advanced in the area, I feel as though there aren't enough courses for me to excel in further into the future. I began taking advanced courses in seventh grade, starting with honors math. This put me into the advanced track in eighth grade for Algebra 1, and as well as this I was also recommended by my seventh grade science teacher to take a Biology and Living Environments course. Due to taking these regents classes prior to high school, I’m currently taking Geometry and…

bachelor’s degree, a goal which has been set for countless years. My future goal is to complete my bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in math and English, with the ultimate goal to teach algebra at any level between the seventh and tenth grades. My eighth grade algebra teacher helped me achieve an understanding of algebra that I never knew existed, instilling in me a desire to pass on an understanding of and an excitement for math to my future students. In my opinion, a teacher can share…

in the war, it was simply to survive. While Germany began its raid of the United Kingdom through the air, the British people took to the skies to defend their homeland, in what would be called the Battle of Britain and total war for the British population. Many leaders emerged to rally the people to combat the Nazi attacks, however, crucial to the British victory in the Battle of Britain was Air Chief…

to pray, but I could hear Jesus talking back so I gave up. I sometimes talked to my Wyldlife leaders, but they were always with my old friends, so I felt disconnected from them too. For eighth and ninth grade, I acted like I had a good relationship with God, but I was actually really lonely. A few weeks after eighth grade ended, my…

1) “Tell me something about yourself” I stare at the page as a bead of sweat drips down my hot forehead, my eyes widening and head pounding. What is there about me which is special? Who am I. That’s not necessarily a question; rather an incomplete story. So let me tell you who I, Samar Moghal, am. There are not many things about myself which I really truly understand besides one fact. I am ambitious. If I set my mind to a goal I will fight until I can no longer fight. However, I was not always…

My modified basketball years, seventh and eighth grade, were by far some of the most fun years of basketball thanks to Carrie Weegar. Carrie was our coach and she made practice so much fun each and every day. Along with working hard and practicing the fundamentals that we would need to know for…

Junior High. The pitstop between elementary and high school. It’s either the best years of someone’s life, or the worst. Luckily for me, junior was the best! Here I am, an itty bitty seventh grader looking up at the school that would soon become my second home, ready to face all of the new challenges that come with being in junior high. I mean I’m here for 8+ hours every weekday, so it’s safe to say that Warren’s my second home, right? Walking up to my new school felt like a movie scene where…

The end of summer before seventh grade started I was kind of nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Some of the things that I did expect were that the teachers would be more strict and that the work would be more challenging than in sixth. Throughout the year I was able to get to know the teachers and learn that most were very nice and that I had nothing to worry about. The work was a little more challenging than in sixth but it’s supposed to be. One of the highlights of my seventh grade…

last very long as that was not who I was meant to be. Then seventh grade rolled around and I became very bubbly and very mean. I would give into the peer pressure of my friends and bully whoever they did not like. This phase ended near the end of eighth grade and this is when I began to discover my true self. I began helping…
