Ninth grade

My introduction into education was like most children’s fascination my curiosity took me to levels to where even today I want to explore the world. It made me happy when I had received an award in second grade even though at that age we are still really young and don’t have difficult class work to do, seeing my dad proud that I got an award is a good feeling, and my motivation to continue on having an education. Also being one of my own goals I want to accomplish and show myself that I can…

Joe Bucks was just an ordinary 7th grade kid. In fact, he was so ordinary that everybody in his grade looked at him as if he were nothing. Everybody around him had some sort of talent, from running to playing the violin. Everybody had warned Joe that seventh grade is the hardest year to go through, but he never imagined it would be this bad. Nobody wanted to be his friend, and everybody made fun of him for having no talent. Joe was a little wimpier than the rest of his peers which made it that…

sixth grade, I was nervous because I wanted to be the best of the best. On in the first day of sixth grade, we had a meeting to see who wanted to be in volleyball. Going into this meeting, I was getting nervous. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play sports, because my class was going to be on the bottom of the totem pole. Not feeling any of the other girl’s feelings, I went with my gut feeling, go out! Getting into the sports season was a different adjustment. Every day prior to sixth grade,…

Scarred for life As a kid in elementary I didn’t have many friends, wouldn’t exactly talk to a lot of people, and I was kind of the “lonely” type. I was in 5th grade from what I remember. Even though I was so quiet I expressed my personality to others with my work in art, where I absolutely loved to be! I pretty much hated music because the teacher would always put the other class in front of the one I was in, I’d always kick the girl’s seat in front of me and we pretty much hated each other. To…

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…

considered as a school that is above average. The school has 307 students from K-5th grade. In addition, the student-teacher ratio was 15:1(awesome). I also saw that the school was identified as primarily multi-racial. The extracurricular activities on this page mentioned band, chorus, drawing and painting • Curriculum (type, level of challenge) First grade: I was in a classroom for 3.5 hours. I was placed in first grade…

I have always had an attitude of a leader. In sixth grade I was apart of student council up until 7th grade. Towards the end of my seventh grade year I applied to be in NJHS or National Junior Honor Society and in May I was inducted. I ran to be Vice President of my NJHS and throughout my eighth grade year I served my class as their VP. All throughout middle school I enjoyed being in the position to lead others and to be an example. As a result of my newly found passion, I decided to apply for…

Texas. Wisconsin. Indiana. Michigan. Michigan. Wisconsin. These are the four states and six different homes I have lived in. I am not a failed child of the foster care system, the daughter of a military hero or a lonely kid who was never adopted. In fact, I am fairly average in terms of family. However, my educational experience has been far from average. Intrigued? Here’s my story. I was born to an engineer and a teacher. My father excelled in school and has always expected that I do the same.…

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…
