Middle school

Growing up as a kid my mom and grandmother use to tell me reading will take you far in life. Every night before I went to bed they would read me a story weather I was at home my mom would read to me one of my favorite books which was Dr.Seus green eggs and ham. This book was my favorite because I like the way things rhymed and how he tried to make him like green eggs and ham and at the end he did. Going to my grandmother house she would always read me this Michael Jordan book and it talked about…

I walked through the hallways of my middle school, listening to the garbled conversations around me. I wondered why people were only “together” one day, what this new term, gay, meant, and why OneDirection was so important. Awkward silences, gasps of disbelief, and grudging explanations often followed my inevitable queries of “What does that mean?” I had difficulty understanding how people interacted at first, and found myself listening from the outside to learn different things for later use. I…

On August 21, 2013, was a very normal day for me. It was the beginning of the school year, just starting to learn my 7th-grade class at Washington Middle school. As the long confusing day ended, I met up with my friend Sophie after school. We were neighbors, so my dad would take us to school and her dad would take us home. After I got home my sister was there and we hung out until my mom and dad got home with dinner. My dad got home first and was sitting downstairs like usual. I was in my room…

arose, making some wonder if The Diary of Anne Frank should be taught in Middle School, High School, or both. Many pros and cons give opinions but only one is strongly supported. If students are taught The Diary of Anne Frank in Middle School, chances are, most students won’t take this seriously enough, given that she is just another Jew in the Holocaust. However, most schools do teach The Diary of Anne Frank in Middle School but only in 8th Grade, whereas, most are more mature. Firstly,…

I. Problem Statement The leadership team at Liberty Middle School has identified students who are not eating daily meals while they are away from school as a problem of practice. Maslow determined that the needs pyramids starts with basic items such as: food, water, and shelter. “Social systems must be responsive to individual needs, or be subject to instability and forced change (possibly through violence or conflict)” (Coate and Rosati, 1988). Students whose basic needs are evaded are…

where you don't know what to wear, do, or say. I had it worse than most. I was a private school kid, having spent my entire educational existence until 6th grade going to the local Lutheran school. As one of only two girls in a class of five, and the only girl staying in Perham, my social skills were stunted to say the least. This lead to an abundance of excruciating memories of my first year at middle school. Looking back on these memories now, I have learned an important lesson. Time changes…

The girl I adored in middle school is dead, I’m not sure when she died, maybe yesterday or the day before. Anyhow, our relationship instituted on the bus. All the older kids on the bus were cruel to the younger riders. However she never displayed any bitterness toward me. Actually she always mentioned how adorable I was as she sat beside me, and together we expressed our desire to be biological sisters, consequently I no longer dreaded school. Additionally, our unconventional bus ride endowed us…

tutoring I did at Bessemer City Middle School. Bessemer City Middle is a school in a lower socioeconomic area and most of the students are from families who fall below the poverty line. I helped the students during the school day, but homework wasn’t the only thing we worked on. The tutoring sessions were also mentoring sessions, so I served not only as a tutor, but also as a mentor to the students. Once or twice a week I would meet with students who needed extra help in school. Tutoring made a…

forget, the paper is due next Wednesday!” My 8th period teacher, Mrs. Oakford told to my class and I as we streamed out of the cramped classroom on a Friday. We couldn’t wait to bust out of the schools doors and claim our prize of a short freedom for surviving another busy, exhausting, and slow week of middle school. I rushed to my locker, grabbed everything I would need for the homework due Monday, threw it in my bag and headed down the hall collecting my friends to walk to town to start what I…
