First school

“Beep Beep, Beep Beep, Beep Beep”. It was the first day of 8th grade and my brothers first day of middle school so I woke up my brother because I was so excited. I went to my closet thinking of what outfit I should wear. So I put on the first one “Freddy, do you think this dress looks cute” I asked “No! Why are you going to wear a dress to school” Freddy yelled. “Yeah ok I don't want people thinking i'm a show off or anything, but first of all better for you to stop yelling at me or the way I…

As I looked around at my new classmates on my first day of public school, I was in complete shock. All around me I saw students who did not care in the slightest about their education and who saw school as simply a chore instead of an adventure. They slumped down in their chairs, cheated off of each other left and right, rolled their eyes at teachers, and spent each day watching the clock, waiting for the bell to ring that would released from their “prison.” That August morning, I felt like I…

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…

As I went to my first day of school in a new city I was nervous, I didn't know if I was going to make any new friends, if I was going to fit in.The first day began and I immediately met Randy and Byanca, little did I know at the time that they would be my friends for all of my school career.Time went by and so did the grade levels, I would always struggle with one subject and thrive in another. During my elementary and middle school years I would struggle in language arts and history, but I…

Well the biggest challenge that I have ever faced was my first year in middle school (6th Grade).My first day was very confused and uncertain of where i should go.I didn't know where any of my classes were and I definitely didn't know how to open my locker.Because of me having these issues for about a month I was tardy lots of times.I was just a little kid in a big school that wasn't used to the routine. After the first nine weeks school started to get a little easier with making new friends…

My First Day of High School My first day of high school was known as Freshman Day, where only freshman go to school and learn about the building and their new teachers. It was a time full of surprises. The day before Freshman Day, I was walking up the stairs and got distracted while climbing up. I wasn’t paying attention and scraped all of the skin off of the bottom of my big toe when I made the mistake of putting only my toe on the metal landing rim rather than my whole foot. Anyways, I went…

down through me and my hands started to sweat of nervousness as I started to write down the homework. Even its letters in my notebook mocked me as they formed the words, PUBLIC SPEAKING. In elementary school, I loved to participate and share my ideas. When the teacher asked a question I was the first one to raise my hand, but the teacher wanted others to participate and would say, “Is there anyone else that wants to share?” During parent-teacher conference I would always get compliments of my…

struggle with new, uncharted territory when a clear path, a proven path, is right in front of your own eyes, waiting for you? During middle school, this was the prevailing philosophy; just ride the current. It wasn’t long until I realized a strategy of letting the river of others’ efforts carry me would not work, however. It was the first day of High School. I was already young for my grade level, so being on the lowest rung of the social hierarchy did nothing to help me out. Luckily, I was…

It was the beginning of 9th grade and the beginning of my first year in high school. It started out good but then I started skipping. It wasn’t long before skipping just a class turned into skipping all day long. I was doing things I wasn’t supposed to be doing and I had the I don’t care mentality and I didn’t care about my grades. I was more worried about having fun and being bad then being a good student and going to class. But then the next year when I was supposed to be a 10th grader I was a…

Entering my first year in high school, in 2013 i wasn’t the typical kid who knew everybody. I didn’t feel comfortable talking to people because I was shy. In class I would barely ask questions, not knowing if everybody would think the questions were stupid.When I got around a group of a people I never knew how to start a conversation. After all, I came from a small middle school where everybody had known each other for 10 years. Even learning how to get around the school was a challenge. My…
