When I was in 9th grade I was the type of person who only think about doing my best and working hard. I always dreamed of going to college but I never actually thought about how to get into college or what college I want to go to. When I was in 9th grade I used to read more than 45 minutes a day because my mother always told me the more you read, the more you know more, so it pushed me to do better and read more. I never knew the answer to what I wanted to be when I grow up, every time someone asks me what I want to be when i grow up, I used to make up stories or tell them what am interested in. My interests changed by the way how I think about who I am and my capabilities. As a teenager, I struggle with my identity because I am confused and …show more content…
I am also self-aware of my weaknesses and strengths. As I moved to the next grade and a year older I learned to see people for who they are, their strengths and weaknesses. The skills i made in 9th grade that still helps me today is making small term goals for myself, sometimes the task may seems long when I first tried to visualize the entire thing, but when I broke it down into smaller goals suddenly it became manageable. I take school seriously, I have dreams and goals for the future that I am determined to make happen, and I don't expect anyone to do the hard work for me. I see that if I want the freedom to be who I am , I need to do some things that I might not enjoy doing. Basically, I feel that as I grow older, is better for me to be able to see my own flaws clearer without the arrogance of …show more content…
My parents left me when I was 3 years old and they came to to America. My grandmother and her husband. My grandmother had 7 kids plus me and my big brother and they had to feed all of us. My grandparents did not had a lot back then but I was bless enough to survive with them. In Guinee I used to get up 5:30 to walk to school , the school i used to go to was 1 mile away from the house. My teachers in Guinee used to always beat me up every time I came to school late. I knew it wasn’t my fault that i lived far but I still tried to manage my time everyday to make it on time on this day. When school is finish and I walk back home, when i come back home, sometimes like 5:30 or 6:00 the food is already finish and my grandmother is cooking another meal. In my grandparents house , there is always time and periods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner after the last prayer and all of that the family comes together and eat together in one plate .If you don't make it to the exact time, then you have to wait till the next one to eat with the family. My grandmother never lets someone eat by oneself, she always taught me that family is the background of life. In my life there were situations that arose that I would not have made it through without my family. when my mother used to call home to check on me and my brother , i always used to complain about the family and how i like them But no matter what choices
Eighth grade and ninth grade are nothing alike.They are not alike because in eighth grade the eighth graders are the oldest students there.It is also different because since they are the oldest they get the most respect.In ninth grade the ninth graders are the youngest and get the least respect.In ninth grade or freshman year the students are new to the school and you don't really know anyone but your friends.To get through your first year as a freshman you must make a lot of friends and have good relationships with all your friends. Something that can help make you many friends is joining clubs or teams.Another way to get through freshman year is by helping other students on homework and classwork.If you are done with classwork
The age of nine or ten is when I realized that I wasn't like the kids around me. I did not have people to call mother or father , no one to come to parent teacher conferences. Not having anyone to draw the family photos of, it was just me and my sister. Remembering being all alone walking down those too long and too big halls filled with too many people. Everyday as a Nobody Girl with clothes too big from the local Goodwill was shoved pushed aside or tripped and as I get up I put on a brave face for my sister. She was everything to me. Having to be brave for her, to her I was mother and father , not sister. Getting home from a too long of a day for a ten year old, and had to deal with an emotionally abusive guardian, and a depressed guardian
It is a very obvious fact that some students decide to drop out. But many people think it’s because they’re not doing their work, although that is the partial reason they don’t know when this starts. Freshmen year is essential in deciding whether a student drops out or stays in school to graduate. In this Essay I will be giving some examples of why Ninth Grade is the most important year of High School and how it will affect their future
The call of May16 began from a high school website known as “idunno.org,” a page that primarily updates the school board and calendar of Dunno High School, where students were informed that there will be no late start on Wednesday, May 16. Every Wednesday, there is a late start which pushes the schools starting bell from 7:50 a.m. to 8:58 a.m., allowing students to sleep well and have more time for themselves in the morning. After hearing the news, the students of Dunno High School created the facebook page “Students of Wednesday” to protest against the school’s dismissal for late start.
Before the 6th grade, I really enjoyed math and I believed I was even good at it. Then to add to my excitement about math, I made a perfect score on my 6th grade Taks test. However, the next year (my 7th grade year) my teacher was a new teacher and you could tell she was struggling. She was a very nice teacher, and I loved her so much, I just struggled to understand what she was teaching. The next year, I transferred to a new school. Here, the teachers were not certified but they tried to help with everything they possibly could; however, their ability to help us was pretty limited. At my new school, we did all of our work on computers for half of the day and attended college classes at Panola and TSTC the rest of day. While I truly loved this
Life as a middle school student will be totally different from the high school life. These are two different things and way more things will be expected from each and every student now that we are in high school. It will not be as easy as middle school was because when coming to the high school students will have to face hard challenges that might throw them off because they are not use to it. After a couple of week of experiencing high school it will start to get a little easier. Do not to expect high school to go by easy as middle school. If my word could get to the upcoming 8th graders about life at Spartanburg High School I would warn them about academics, sports, and friendships.
A time in my life when something bad turned out to be good was the middle of eighth grade when i wasn’t do well in my classes. This situation was bad because my grades weren’t good, and I wasnt doing the homework. One day in class , the teacher gave me a note from the office that said the principal wanted to talk to me. When I got to his office he was telling me that my grades were really low and I had to attend the after school program for forty days if I wanted to walk the stage for eighth grade promotion. From that day on I realized how important it was to be doing my homework if I wanted to succeed in school. After like a month my grades started to improve to B’s and it made me so proud of myself. It made me proud because, I was able to

Eighth Grade. The year I wanted to try something new. I was getting tired of my boring middle school day, and I didn’t feel like I was being challenged enough. I looked for online schools that could work, and found Boulder Universal. Through more research, I learned that I could do a hybrid schedule. This meant that I would do some classes online, and some classes at my middle school, Broomfield Heights. To my surprise, after some consideration, my parents said yes! This is my experience.
These are my plans to succeed in the rest of the 8th grade school year.
There is an issue here in the U.S to most people. You may or may not be having this issue and you may or may not agree with this issue. But, there is a problem with school times. Some students are going to school too early, and this can lead to some issues. Students will have worse health and have worse academics if school times are early in the morning.
Thank you for substituting for me today. Attached is my homeroom list. Please take attendance and send it down to the main office with a student after homeroom.
I just want to say 8th grade is an experience you will never have again. It’s a point in life where you are a kid and adult at the same time. It’s a place to grow up and become who you want in life. Your 8th grade year is going to be lots of hard work, you have to fight to make it. Mostly no one slips by 8th grade without attempting to do their best.
Eighth grade is an exciting year as pupils are prepared for their departure into high school. This, of course, comes with the endless speeches of preparing for the future. Some of this preparation includes encouraging students to think about their future. Some of this preparation includes encouraging students to think about their future careers they may want. Doing this helps the eighth graders realize the importance of looking at careers early on so when the time comes for them to be employed they aren’t freaking out and having existential crises. At an attempt to match a job with our interests we were asked to take an online quiz. This quiz would spew out categories which could be clicked and opened. Within them would be a list of jobs. After
It was the last day of 6th grade and we were going to Nickelodeon Universe as a class. I had some friends that I intended to hang out with. They were Cayden and Riley.
