Dear Teena Research Paper

Keeping up with my books was a big transition going into middle school. In elementary we just carried a backpack, but in middle school you carry quite a few books that are too heavy to lug around so you need to use your locker. Getting into your locker is another big deal, but I am not going to get into that. Remembering what class to go to is going to be a big deal. If you are late you will get detention. In elementary they don’t really enforce that rule. In middle school you attend eight classes, and you only get four minutes to

Grab a pen, and sign up for an extracurricular activity as quickly as possible! I was fortunate enough to already know I was going to play high school softball and practiced with them before the year started, but they helped a ton! Yes, just having so many people I knew from already being on a team. I felt welcome and I always knew I had at least one person at school I could count on, consider a friend, and rely on. They made making friends easier by introducing me to new people and always welcoming with open arms during lunch and after school, etc. Speaking of after school, cancel any plans that you usually have, no time now that you’re in high school.

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. Next always participate in class it’s so much fun to do so I know people have fears talking in front of other people but in reality you’re not going to see these people in five to ten years from now so who cares? The more you participate the more fun eighth grade is going to be. Last thing

Everybody is nervous on the first day of middle school, especially moving from an elementary school because ever thing is new and clean, meaning you don’t what to expect and the unexpected. Well that's because I’m here , to tell things might expect and things you expected but were confused about.

If you were fortunate enough to have Mr. Belvoir, he wasn’t lying about anything he said about high school. Your huge group of friends that are so close will all split off and go their separate ways. Don’t be sad though, in the end all you’ll learn is who your real friends are. When I was an 8th grader we had a huge group of friends who would have bonfires, go out to lunch, go to A&W together, and parties such as, end of summer, start of summer, things like that. After freshman year there’s a huge possibility that all of that will go away just like it happened to me.

The first step to prevent an immense amount of stress caused by school work is to purchase a planner of some sort. Throughout my freshman and sophomore year, I neglected to purchase one and consequently forgot a majority of my homework on a daily basis. Near the end of the school year, I was fed up with running back to the school to pick up one simple sheet of paper or a heavy textbook. I bought my planner on Amazon, but many girls tend to purchase them from Lilly Pulitzer. If you find yourself strapped for cash however, most high schools (including Henry Clay) provide them for free or an extremely low price depending on whom you speak with. Planners allow you to make a note of upcoming tests, projects, and homework on a daily basis. By having a constant reminder of your daily tasks, it becomes nearly impossible to forget. It also allows you to be more likely to study for a test because it will constantly be shoved in your face.

In my early years actually well start from the beginning in the operation room i was just born 2 years down the road i was just a little toddler i had a dream to become elmo one day and 2 more years down the road i knew i couldn't be Elmo but i didn't care about that anymore i just wanted to be fireman or a police ok let's move to the first day of school preschool oh don't i have some stories about that the first day of preschool i accidentally called my mom crazy that was a funny time but let's go on to kindergarten it was pretty much the same that's about it let's move onto 2nd grade we wanted to move i did and didn't so i had a lot of stress since my mom and dad were divorced and i didn't know that

The first three weeks of middle school have gone on interminably. I am situated in all of my classes and have endured all of the vexatious ice-breaker welcoming

During my Junior year, one academic challenge I faced was when I let my science partner copied my homework. My partner was a type of person that would skip class and her grades weren't the greatness. I thought she was my friend because we would hangout and talk about life. This was a big thing I faced in my junior year. One day my lab partner didn't show up for three days. When she finally showed up, I asked her why she decided to skip school. She told me that she had a lot of family problems going on. I felt really bad for her because she missed a lot of lab reports. So she ask me if I can help her on her homework. I pulled out my notes and assignments to help her. The time ran out and I didn't have time to help her. She asked if she can take

Here comes middle school. I moved into a different area so I start fresh at the middle school and I only last two days. I

I understand that going to school for eight hours is awful and then having to come home and do more homework just doesn’t seem fair but you have to remember that it is for a good cause and it will help you better understand what you learn. The best advice I could give you is to do everything ahead of time don’t wait until the last minute to type and essay or study for a test you knew about a week in advance. The best thing you can do is as soon as you get home do all your homework. It is better trust me. When you wait until 9:30 that night to do all your homework you will be tired and you will not put your full effort into what you are doing. Finishing something early will make room for other activities. If you are assigned a worksheet on Monday but it is not due until Friday and you decide to wait until Thursday to do it, what if in another class you get assigned work and it is due the next day. If you would have done the worksheet when it was first assigned then you wouldn’t have to worry about having to rush and have extra work. This is why I suggest doing your work ahead of time instead of waiting until the last

I have been in Middle school for three years now and let me tell you it's not easy. My first year here I didn't care about anything, I didn't care about my grades, attendance, homework, or my classwork. I would do anything to not go to school and stay home. There were times that I had to actually stay home and other times I would fake it because I just didn't want to go. I had some friends but they were mainly friends I hung out with at the bus stop and that was it. Most of them were all friends I knew from 4th grade. We all usually sat somewhat next to each other on the bus and would talk to everyone. I sat next to one of my best guy friends and we didn't talk much since we were always tired in the morning. My friend ended up being home schooled for the next two years, so I sat by myself or next to someone that wanted to sit next to me. My third year here I made a friend name Taylor which I like to call tater tot. I sit next to her now and we talk to each other about school and the homework we forgot to do.

Being in middle school is a dreadful place to be, almost all students will acknowledge that this statement has truth behind it. My middle school was a long two-story building that had mirrored halls on its floors, save for the gym, cafeteria, and front office, which were all found on the bottom floor. There were even colored tiles on the floor that indicated the walking paths from one class to the next. Now the experience I had in middle school wasn’t the greatest thing in the world, but it could have been worse. Sixth grade year I was separated from my friends I had in elementary school but I made some really fantastic ones that I still have today. However, in seventh grade I was located in a different block of classes from my friends entirely and the only time I saw them was during band class. Little did I know I was going to meet a person that would change my life forever.

    To start off, make friends with more people. It helps to know an upperclassmen, they show you around if you need help, they explain everything to you. For instance, I knew my brother, and some of his senior friends, along with some sophomores. It definitely made the first few weeks of high school a lot easier so I wasn’t confused all of the time.  New freshman have to be open-minded about who they try out as a friend. You can’t have the same friends as you did at the junior high, which leads to my next point.

Middle school for me started out really fun at first but once the weeks went by and i got used to it, things started to change. I was more of the heavier set child in middle school and was way more developed than the other females, causing me to get picked on unfortunately. I would get bullied not only by other girls for being too “fat” but also by guys who did not realize that eventually all of us were going to go through puberty sooner or later. I found out that making a small knit circle of friends is the best way to keep gossiping down. This small group of people are the ones that actually care about you, and kind replicated what i looked like or pretty similar. My confidence and self-esteem was definitely shot in middle school and is one of the reason why i have anxiety today. Middle school was supposed to be the time for me
