Fifth grade

I would have tried to formulate a different perspective on how I viewed topics and would have became more serious about my educational future. When I was in middle school, I lacked determination and self-discipline. During my 9th grade year, I began to comprehend the idea of critical thinking and the traits I needed to be successful later on in life. Also , I realized that I needed to change and develop better habits, and that if I would have possessed my current mindset at a younger…

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…

where I don’t know anyone, I like to observe first and figure out which people are good and which could be trouble. I also observe to see what their interests may be. If our interests match, it is really easy from there to make a friendship. Third grade was an important change because I transferred to a magnet elementary school which took in smarter people.

the discussion surrounding how people in the LGBTQ community are mentally ill and are committing a sin didn't help. And at times it really got to me and I would even go to the bathroom crying. But to me the worst part was this year during my 8th grade year. A few weeks ago homosexuality was once again brought up and I had found that just tuning it out was probably my best bet so that's what I did. But this time something she said got my attention. She told us the story of how her bestfriend…
