Middle school

The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend,…

transitioned from being a middle schooler to a high schooler. A metamorphosis is a transformation and I believe the effects of metamorphosis usually result in maturity. I’ll be talking about my struggles, my feelings about the changes, and the steps I took to overcome my challenges. My metamorphosis was when I was in middle school and I had to learn to adapt to high school. This transition helped me become more responsible and feel more like an adult. In middle school I always thought school…

You are entrusted with more responsibilities in your life quite often. These can sometimes be stressful, like transferring from the elementary to the middle school, going to college, and trying to get a career started. Going to middle school can be difficult if you come from a elementary school where you only switch between 2 classes. In middle school you only have a little bit of time to switch between your many classes. You have to stay incredibly organized to stay on top of yourself. You…

long ago, I was reminiscing with a friend about our days in middle school. She kept going on and on about how amazing her grades were back then, and I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Wait, people actually tried in middle school?” About 4 years ago, I couldn’t have cared less about the grades I received on my report card. I was perfectly content with getting a few F’s – after all, I assumed, what harm would they do me in middle school? It’s not like colleges looked at my eighth grade report…

The challenge that I faced in the past year is staying out of trouble in Middle school. I'm still getting into trouble every here and there but i'm doing my best to stay out of trouble. It is hard to stay out of trouble because I am not perfect and I don't think before I do things i just do it and then after I do it I think of the consequences and realize that they are not good at all. In school I hang out with my friends they try to keep me out of trouble and help me make changes in life to…

opinions on teachers. “Make transition time between classes longer.” That can be done! Chelsea Middle School does have too little passing period times, the bell system can be upgraded. The problem here is that kids don’t have a long enough time to get to class, therefore causing stress. Stress is definitely not a good thing to have in middle school. This problem will be stopped by a bell system upgrade. Chelsea Middle School’s bell system has a four minute passing period time, but with the…

Cedarbrook Middle School, 3rd period, the clock had just struck 10:15 am. My eyes were extremely tired and I couldn't get my mind to focus. I kept staring out the window wondering why the clear blue sky went away and these wet drops called rain began to rapidly fall. As I was gazing upon the rain I heard this faint voice in the distance. “Heather”....”Heather”..... I turned away from the window and looked at the front of the classroom. “Heather, you have an early dismissal”, said my teacher. At…

Throughout High school and Middle school I always preferred writing to sitting down and reading a book. Elementary school was a time of exploring both reading and writing so at that point in time I did a lot of both. When I was younger I enjoyed reading for the images on the pages and also the ones that were created in my head. My mother, Lisa, and father, Mark, would take turns reading bedtime stories to my sister, Amanda, and me to expose us to new language and literature. Sometimes…

When I started middle school I was worried about how I looked and what people would say about me and how I looked. When I started middle school I was also wondering what the teacher thought since I wasn’t that tall. As the year goes on, I felt more comfortable at school. There was also people who made you feel better about how you look and what you like. They didn’t call me short, and they didn’t gave me a mean nickname for my height. They would call me funsize and it would be like an…

they are. It describes what type of person you are, and growing up, your morals can help you in your daily life. Middle school is a time in life where your ethics start to matter. Perseverance is a strong virtue which can benefit you in sixth grade and beyond. This virtue can help you with problems involving family or friends, working as a team effectively, and overcoming challenges at school, such as new skills or harder concepts. Perseverance is a paramount asset and is the most effective to a…
