Middle school

Oumy Sarr TAL 201 Middle School Visit Reflection On Thursday, November 19th 2015 I visted M.S.8 on 105 Johnson street., 4th floor inside the George Washington School buliding in Brookyln. It took me about an hour to get to the school coming from The Bronx. From the train station ( Bourough Hall) it was about a 8-10 minute walk to the school. The neighboorhood had many stores and food places. There were many people on there way to work Many people in suits (assuming most worked in the courts…

In middle school, I travelled seventy blocks to go to a school that I hated. Actually, it was not the school itself that was unpleasant, but the kids attending it. Simply put, they were mean. I was the "leader" of a group of friends, along with another girl. One day, she got mad at me because I had not paid enough attention to her during class. Lunch time came around and I made my way to the table we always sat at. "You can't sit here," she said coldly. I stared at her then turned to the other…

Who would have known that middle school could be so cruel. Seriously, at that young age I thought that the kids would be sweet as gum drops. I was dead wrong. It was as if it was a crime to not have been a stick figure. It was a crime for to embrace your intellectual side. It's a shame that a learning environment is turned into a mental prison with no escape. Throughout sixth through eighth grade it was a never ending torture. Yep that's right torture. It was as if there was a sign hanging…

front doors, a jumble of frenzied emotions. New people, new clothes, new supplies, new teachers, new schools, new locker, new classes, new, new, new. I could feel the anticipation in the young sixth graders eyes, the excitement in the seventh graders expressions. Then, there was my grade. Lifeless, emotionless, perhaps too much coffee for some of us, nothing new. It had been two years of middle school, and it was nothing we hadn’t seen before. For us, it wasn’t the chant of new, but more…

Fall in Oxford Michigan is all about high school football. Unless you happen to be in middle school which I was, then it’s about middle school football. I had never had much interest in the sport, didn’t even know half the rules, but Luke had been bugging me to join the football team that year, which was our 8th grade year. Middle school football in our county was divided into Heavy-weight and Light-weight. Heavies are anyone over 130lbs, the Lights are anyone under, and I weighed about 95lbs…

entered my middle school band class. My teacher, Mrs. McNair made a marvelous impact in my life. Her positive example provided me a whole new perspective on middle school. Middle school affected me in various ways, such as adapting to changes, befriending my peers, and dealing with discrimination. Getting accustomed a different environment was such a challenge. On the second day of middle school I thought that it was a good idea to make new friends, I kind of took the whole "new school year,…

I was a very awkward child during middle school wearing dark and baggy shirts with a pair of jeans and some nike tennis shoes. I avoided the popular groups that talked a lot as cliche as this is if I was in a movie I would have been the weird basket case that was slightly artsy. Never talking to people in the halls just rushing straight to class so I could either read a book or draw. This continued to about tenth grade. While this makes it sound like I didn't have any friends that wouldn't be…

sixth grade student going into seventh grade and moving to the middle school, I felt very proud and honored that I had accomplished elementary school. Now as an eighth grade student I am just moving into higher status and more responsibility and soon I will be moving on to High School. In High School, I know that there is a bigger school, more activities and a lower status being a freshman. There also are similarities to the schools such as making new friends and seeing old friends. Also the…

Starting middle school In my opinion middle school was going to be the scariest part of my life. That’s what thought until a month into it, I realized it was a not so bad. I made tons of new friends and I liked all of my teachers. It was a lot different than elementary school. The only thing I did not like was having to walk class to class every hour with only 3 minutes to do so. Now let me tell you about my first couple months of school.…

would like to start off thanking all teachers and staff member for creating an enthusiastic and supportive environment, for all the extra efforts you do to help us grow, and the challenges you encourage us to face to help us become who we are. Middle school is like a cake. It has different layers and flavors, like the different grades and the obstacles we face in the way. It is a great privilege for me to be standing here in front of you, on behalf of my classmates, to express the happiness…
