Seventh grade

For Victor, getting the girl is what he is going for in 7 grade.

He is conflicted with confidence around this girl he likes. Throughout the plot tries to impress and get her to notice him. Without his dose of confidence he fails on his attempts. He acts like most boys around his age because he…

bold, so making friends with the other girls was not an issue for me. Some of the girls that I became friends with through coach pitch and first-sixth grade softball ended up being my teammates while playing basketball and softball all throughout high school. Up until I was in sixth grade, I…

I would describe myself as cheerful, creative, and curious. I am a student that spreads joy and cheer throughout both school and the house. I always like to learn and dive into the curriculum. The required work is never the end of the line; I always engage beyond and connect what I am learning in school to the real world and across disciplines. On personal projects, I make sure to place my best foot forward and work with enthusiasm. In group work, I always provide humor as well as discipline,…

concluded that middle school is basically like building a house. Before middle school started, in fifth grade, the house only had the boards and the main skeleton of the whole structure. All of the basics are learned in elementary school: learning how to read, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, the founding of America,, etcetera, but by the time students reach sixth grade, new knowledge builds onto what is already known. Letters are added into the familiar math…

Junior High. The pitstop between elementary and high school. It’s either the best years of someone’s life, or the worst. Luckily for me, junior was the best! Here I am, an itty bitty seventh grader looking up at the school that would soon become my second home, ready to face all of the new challenges that come with being in junior high. I mean I’m here for 8+ hours every weekday, so it’s safe to say that Warren’s my second home, right? Walking up to my new school felt like a movie scene where…

Something that I noticed in sixth grade about myself, was that I liked to control everything. In the movie, Cameron is trying to control Ferris so that no one will get in trouble. This made me feel more secure, and it made me want to try to get straight A’s. When I think of my 6th grade self, I think of shy and insecure Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day off because I too felt that way. In seventh grade, I resembled Sloane, Ferris Bueller’s easy going girlfriend. I, like…

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…

family. They stick by my side through the worst and best times of my life and I'm so exceptionally lucky to such good influences in my life. During my 5th and 6th grade years of band several imporant things happened to me. In my 5th grade year Mr. Hilbert taught band. I miss having Mr. Hilbert for band class.. In 5th and 6th grade I played percussion.…

was, and man oh man was he hard to beat. Whether it was one on one, two on one or just plain old horse Dad sure beat us all. But that was all part of the fun, trying to beat Dad. And trying to beat Dad I ended up breaking my arm that ended my seventh grade volleyball season quite quickly. It was two on one. I was trying to defend the hoop behind me and to be honest was failing quite badly. No matter, I was focused on the getting the ball. Being the typical uncoordinated thirteen year old with…

something remarkable. There was a time in my life where I realized something significant and life changing. It was when i was truly comfortable in my hijab. It was the summer of 2014 that made me change who i wanted to be. The previous year, I was in seventh grade and it was my first year wearing my hijab. I was terribly nervous and didn't know what others were going to…
