8th Grade Graduation Essay

8th grade has been a hell of a ride, I went through ups and downs, met new people, learned new things, and finally finished middle school. But along this hellish ride I encountered many challenges (and sorta solved them). I learned life lessons and had people help me along the way, I achieved goals that I set for myself. Most importantly, I learned many methods from AVID that I hope I will always use and take advantage of. Without AVID I would probably not care about my grades so much as much as I do now.

8th grade isn’t that bad. There might be some classes that you might think that you won’t like, but they will turn out to be not that bad. I feel like 8th grade is a lot easier than 7th grade was. There are fewer assignments, the classes seem easier, and 8th grade seems like there has been a lot more things that have been fun than 7th grade. The nice part is is that you get to eat lunch at the high school all year. What I recommend for sports is that all the sports are pretty fun. The one sport I would say you probably shouldn’t go out for or that you wouldn’t like is track. Good luck with 8th

Although the first year of high school is a big transition, it’s crucial in determining the remaining years of high school because, First, having good grades will determine whether or not you get accepted the university you want and there are more opportunities for scholarships. Second, joining a club in high school will give you an insight in leadership and teamwork. Third, Slacking of your freshman year in high school is a bad thing to do because it will affect your senior year and all the classes you missed or failed, you will have to retake all of them. Lastly, all of these factors all come into play your senior year they can either help you or make your high school years miserable. First, having good grades in your freshman year will open up the doors to more opportunities coming your way. My freshman year wasn't the best I got D's and C's and almost failed two classes. Laziness played a big factor in why I got bad grades I was lazy to do homework and any projects. I had some advice from my cousin’s they would always tell me not to mess up freshman year, but, I ignored them and you start to pay for it senior year by retaking all those classes you failed. To get better grades I set up a planner and wrote down due dates and set up a time organizer at home and this helped me better organize my time to do the work. My advice to all new freshmen is to set up a work schedule for your work it will better your studying habits and make you aware of due dates and the time you

There is a misconception about the professors (sometimes called instructors). Questions arise such as; will they make time for me when I need the extra help? How large will the class be? Will they understand that this may not be as easy for me as it is for others? These questions enter our minds and may seem discouraging at times. Through my personal experiences I have found that classroom atmospheres may not always be for everyone. However, that does not mean college life is not for everyone. You can take many alternative routes. You can take advantage of telecourses, online courses, accelerated courses and many other options that may be more suitable. My professors have been great. They come in earlier to help and return e-mails and/or phone calls promptly.

Going from a middle school to high school pretty much for anybody can tend to be challenging. High school is the place where you start to mature yourself and better yourself for later on in life for whatever the future may bring. Coming from 8th grade entering into high school as a freshman depending on where you're at can be tough, you really start to realize that you are starting to have responsibilities. You may not start feeling that way in the beginning which in my case I could say the same, but it definitely comes. Converting as an 8th grader to high school you notice the teachers don't baby you in situations if it's your work or your project it's your job to know what's going on the teachers definitely won't look for you.

Being nominated for Michigan Junior Honor Society is a big deal and accomplishment for me. I really value education and I feel that this will really help me with my education and in being a better person. As my teachers did, I believe I would be a good student for MJHS.

Study skills, plus” by Skip Downing.

Good work ethic is very important; there can be a good or bad work ethic. One who has a good work ethic is the one who is most reliable and more willing to get further in the sport of football. A players work ethics, show how far a players is willing to go when it comes down to playing on that field come game day. Also, a persons work ethic can tell you a lot about the person. If one has a good work ethic, you can almost always assume that this person is going to be reliable, trustworthy, and efficient in what they do on the field. Without good ethics, you can most certainly guarantee that you will not be too successful.

Big hallways, lots of people, and knowing where all the classes are. “I didn't know high school was going to be this tough and frightening”. If I were to give advice to upcoming eighth graders, I would tell them behavior requirements are a priority, along with academic, and attendance requirements.

First off, Welcome to Eighth Grade! It’s going to be a great year for you , team 8-1 is the best pod there is. All the classes are so much fun but the top three advice I give to you, is do your homework! I know everyone says this to you in middle school but especially in eighth grade because your grades for this year go onto your high school teacher and you wouldn’t want them thinking that you are too lazy to do a simple task like homework on a daily basis.

The thought of being in high school is both exciting and nerve wracking. It is thrilling to have more independence and freedom. However, going to a whole new school with older students can be intimidating. Over the summer, I had been planning out how I would get around the school and how I could get to each class on time. The anticipation weighed heavy on my mind. The first couple of days were stressful. I had to juggle getting to each class with stopping at my locker for materials. Though, I was also eager for the sense of having purpose again after the long summer. Freshmen year will be full of new experiences and challenges.

It was junior year of high school Akrita and I had gone so far together academically growing and so motivated. Although we had our successes we weren’t the life of the party not very outgoing when it came to socializing. We’d been friends since 8th grade always by each other’s side no matter what. We had familiar lives and we were basically each other’s support systems as well. We had so many high hopes for each other and although that was the case we still wanted to enjoy ourselves and have fun as teens. It was about time we had some fun.

These past few weeks of school have been a fun and stressful experience. People have told me that eighth grade would be easier than last year, but I have found that to be false. On a more positive note, I have made several new friends and become more involved socially. So far this year I am trying to apply the strengths that I possess. Perseverance, time management, and a good work ethic are the strengths that I use daily at school. When I am not doing school related work, I am either at gymnastics practice or spending time with family. A typical day in my life consists of school, practice, and sleep. I don’t have time to be involved with any school sports or activities. If I could chose to be more involved in social and school activities, I would. Unfortunately, there are not enough hours in the day to do everything I want. On the weekend, I enjoy taking a break from the busy week. It’s hard to do this when I have to catch up or get ahead on school because I know that I’m not going to have time to do my work. My goals for this year are to let go of my worries and not to be so hard on myself. I am striving to be positive and have personal happiness this year.
