Seventh grade

school, I have tried out different trends with all different types of people. In sixth grade, I was a Twilight obsessed gothic girl who hated the world. That did not last very long as that was not who I was meant to be. Then seventh grade rolled around and I became very bubbly and very mean. I would give into the peer pressure of my friends and bully whoever they did not like. This phase ended near the end of eighth grade and this is when I began to discover my true self. I began helping…

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…

were interesting. This was not a good habit of mine from the beginning, but it was how I enjoyed reading. In particular, I remember Dr. Seuss and Junie B. Jones becoming my favorites. I’ll never forget the day I had to read out loud in class in 1st grade and I couldn’t pronounce a word and was laughed at. This set back my confidence in reading and speaking in front of the class. I was so embarrassed I went home that day and cried. I didn’t understand that everyone at our age was struggling to…

Where it all began How can people be so young, yet so cruel? I was only in the seventh grade at Linglestown Middle School when I first experienced bullying. I was called names such as ugly, fat, worthless, and much harsher things. I still haven’t quite wrapped my head over the fact I was a 12 year old who hated everything about myself just because of some kids. I tried seeing the guidance counselor because I would cry every day in class, she basically told me she couldn’t do anything to…

All short stories have extemal and internal that take place in and between the groups of people. Even in “Seventh Grade,” and “The Melting Pot”. In the short story, “Seventh Grade” Victor likes this girl name Teresa. Victor tried everything, to make Teresa notice him. He even waited in homeroom, so he could bump into Teresa and start a conversion with her. Victor is willing to do anything, to make Teresa knowledge that he is there. He daydreamed in English about Teresa, as he did this his…

7th Grade: Seventh grade student council convention. It was a misty morning, the bell hadn't rang yet and we are in the teachers lounge about to leave. The only people I knew was my Matthew and Alex. Matt was like a brother to me because I’ve known him since kindergarten. Alex, I’ve known him since 4th grade. Well before we left he had sat by me, and Matt(being his brotherly self) started to tease Alex and I saying we’d be cute together. We get on the bus. Alex sits by me again and obviously…

a 5th grade class, however, when she arrived here she only had the equivalent of a 2nd grade education, with a few spotty lessons from teachers in the refugee camp. It is important to note here though, that Belvie was not uneducated out of her own free will. Rather she was forced out of her home and school by war. Therefore, we cannot assume that she is unintelligent, emotionally…

when I was an ignorant kid, to when I am a kinda less ignorant person. As my life successes in my 6th Grade Class helped me as an individual and scholar. The failures in my 2nd grade which still are hard for me today, while reading and writing. My greatest strengths is the ability to calculate long and hard numbers in my head. Or how I can’t concentrate is my greatest weakness. Back in the 6th grade it was one of my favorite classes that I had remembered when I had the greatest success I had in…

I grew up in a household, which valued reading but it wasn’t until I was in middle school that I truly fell in love with the liberal arts. My seventh grade English teacher used Shakespeare to exemplify the modern dramatic literature style. Her passion for teaching and fondness of classical works instilled an eagerness to explore further literature. My deep-seated appreciation for English became stronger in high school, as I discovered authors such as Dostoyevsky and Hardy. My interest in the…

8th Grade Graduation Speech To our most esteemed teachers, principals, parents, and graduates, a pleasant morning/midday/whatever time I might be presenting this speech on. To provide something lots of people can relate to, including me, middle school was a great adventure, which happened to have taught us many things. Perseverance, friendships, and lessons learned. These three things popped up over and over again in my head as I was writing this speech. Before we started the drafting process,…
