The Type Racer Showing your true talents at school is a great feeling. When showing your talents you always want to show your skills as good as possible. I believe everyone has a talent that they have practiced to master or they were good at it since the first day one. I have a talent that I was horrible at when I started at, But then I gave it my best to improve and I succeeded more than I thought I would, I has passed the typing speed I thought I would never get. My goal when I was a…
I wish you luck this year's sixth graders, seventh grade is an interesting adventure. Also, good luck this year's eighth graders, high school sounds fairly frightening. As we carry on to the next grade, everyone should remember to take in every second of it, since this school year went by fast. By…
of summer before seventh grade started I was kind of nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Some of the things that I did expect were that the teachers would be more strict and that the work would be more challenging than in sixth. Throughout the year I was able to get to know the teachers and learn that most were very nice and that I had nothing to worry about. The work was a little more challenging than in sixth but it’s supposed to be. One of the highlights of my seventh grade school…
sport. A long time debate is still in fire that hunting is good or bad. Many people think that hunting is bad for environment. Harvesting of seals is a controversial issue from a long time.

When I was just a toddler, I remember having to sound out phrases, words, and sentences to develop my writing, reading and speech skills. My parents placed me in a private Christian school, Wesleyan Christian Academy, to assure that I was taught with the foundations and morals of Christianity. Wesleyan encouraged nightly readings for all the children to develop educated kids, and to expand our knowledge. Being a stubborn child, I only read the books I thought were interesting. This was not a…
Introduction Perfectionism in adolescents has become a concern for many adults and school professionals working with adolescents. Learning how to work with adolescents who inherit some perfectionistic characteristics begins with how one describes perfectionism.

When I was a seventh grader, I traveled to Winner to run in the Winner Warrior Invite. This track meet was a terrible one. It rained the entire day and even thundered a little bit, so we had to go in the tent, while the storm was passing. When we were sent to our tent…
career. 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…
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…
When I was little starting at just 4 years old I cheered for my little league football team in my hometown. What town is that? You may ask yourself. Well it's good ole Ocala Florida home of the horses and home of me. Anyways I was the "mascot" and not the typical put on a costume and cheer the team on mascot, but a cheerleader that got to cheer with the big girls and not have to do as much. Sounds like the life, doesn't it? Well honestly it was. I was just as passionate about cheerleading as…
