Eighth grade

from sixth through eighth grade. I had spent almost all of those years at Blessed Sacrament School. During that time frame, I developed to who I am today through my teachers, my activities, my classmates, and my friends. These years became the building blocks of who I am and what I want to be. Middle school has been a phenomenal experience for me. Throughout my middle school years, I have had an array of teachers. I have had a set of four main teachers. One set for sixth grade and another for…

I already almost everybody in the grade. I probably thought that Ridgway was gonna be like a mini version of those high school, where there were huge bullies and people getting shoved into lockers. But it wasn’t like that all. I did have to get used to new teachers and the scheduling, but at the end of the day it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Fifth grade. Ahh, yes my very first year in Ridgway Middle School. I don’t remember too much from this grade, but I can't tell you that I still…

As our lives go on we often remember the past. Now that Eighth grade is ending I feel like it just started. Two years ago from now I felt sick to my stomach thinking of coming to junior high and growing up. I then found out that I would be attending a school that I had only known 3 people that go there because of new house boundaries. It crushed me to not be able to go to the same school as the kids I had been with since kindergarten. As I arrived I felt like a grain of rice in this big school.…

Starting a new school wasn’t easy, but I realized how both schools I attended differed. The staff at “Raymond York Elementary School” was so kind and generous. As soon I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed. As I finished second grade and enter into third grade, I didn’t know what to expect; but I knew there would be ups and downs. I remembered how nervous I was when the teacher assigned my seat next to the people I didn’t know. I sat next to a girl named Rochelle. One day, the teacher…

relax from the long day. Although my mindset was a good mindset for the year, I did not accomplish the grades I worked for. I received all “A’s” and usually a “C” or “B” here and there. I got so stressed out I would cry and become tense. In seventh grade, my mindset was shorter- just school and sports. This is when I started having seizures. I had not listened to music for so long in the seventh grade school year, when I turned on the Christmas radio (around the holidays), I had literally cried…

Four years ago I made a decision that would benefit me for the rest of my life. Although my father is a graduate of Brother Martin High School, he thought that Jesuit would be a better fit for me because he felt it was the best academic institution. My mother also thought it would be a great place for me to go, because she believed that Jesuit would better prepare me for college. I visualized Jesuit being a nice fit for me because I liked the way that Jesuit students carried themselves and…

table, with my father by my side, making up math problems, for practice. I dreaded those times, I wasn’t the best in math, and my grade reflected that. With the help of my father, I was able to improve my grade slightly but not much. There was only a certain amount of math that he understood, so he wouldn’t be able to help me much longer. Once I entered the eighth grade I had a remarkable math teacher, which loved her job as her students. Her name was Mrs. Crawford, and she cared so much about…
