Eighth Grade: Nothing Compared To Ninth Grade

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

In on way, why are they different is because they are both different grades with different requirements. An eight-grader doesn't have to be responsible of their work, because they have it all in their classes. Now, a ninth-grader has to be responsible when it comes to their work because they take it everywhere. Being a freshman requires so much work and so much effort because you are new to the environment, it is a new life situation because you are not considered a kid anymore you are more considered as a teenager with responsibilities. There are many things a freshman has to do than an eight-grader. Such as completing every single subject for every single class, also taking responsibilities of your actions. In High School you don't come here to play any games because it is your life after these 4 years are over. In eight-grade, lets say you still don't have to take many responsibilities as a freshman. You have to be ready to participate and collaborate on anything the teacher says, that will benefit you a lot. The work is slightly different as well because it's harder and you just have to try your very best. It's good to consider yourself to do good on many because the positive energy is what will help you threw your High School

Coming to eighth grade on the first day was slightly scary for me. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have any friends on the same team as me and that I wouldn’t have a class with any friends. When I arrived to the homeroom, school didn’t start off as bad as I thought it would. Apparently I had more than one friend in my homeroom, which made things less awkward for the first time being in class.

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

Looking at observations, a lot of people in the 8th grade changed going into 6th grade. People's attitudes have changed, and so has their personality. Most people are more worried about their grades, more than making friends. For example, Lauren Beaman was not always so stressed. She always use to be just laid back. Now, all she worries about is school. Junior high is very stressful. People also change in their family life.

I am sure it will not be hard to make new friends. The 8th graders are very intimidating but they are actually very friendly and they want to help you through the year. Do not be one of those people who start drama and try to stay out of is. This is a big part of jr. high and you need to avoid it. Just make friends and don’t make a fuss. Make wise choices and do everything thinking about God looking over your shoulder. Think before you do and not do before you think.

Everybody has been through a change, from being a drastic change to having a small change, and everyone responds to these changes in different ways. Usually the response is not so relevant to what happens to your life. But there is one change in life that is very effective to you that would either make or break you. This change is moving to 9th grade; this is such an important time because how you act in this grade decides how your life plays out. There multiple reasons why it's hard for new 9th graders from being stress, to the transition, and of course the social life.

The two and a half months of summer ended and I was ready to start 8th grade. I was excited and I found out I was in the same pod with my best friend. I felt confident as I walked into room B5 and greeted Mr. Gill. The year started great and I knew my way to all my classes. I studied a lot more in 8th grade. Nearly every test I studied. And by the end of the marking period I had all A’s and B’s. I brought my lunch from home more often and I participate more in class.

8th grade is about change. This year has meant the world to me. I lost a friend, and gained so many more. My teachers were wonderful and kind, making the year that much better. 8th grade, to me, means something along the lines of a foreshadow. In four years, this cycle will repeat. Every year that I get older, these grades mean more than just grades. They become signs.

One day, I came across such a beautiful beast, poetry. It raised me, raised my soul to live better. Feeding me its wisdom every day, but it wasn’t always like this. In 9th grade, the beast held no significance to me, and we soon departed. In 11th grade, our paths crossed once more, holding the key to the door that remained locked in my heart. With my close friend, Angela, we’d unlock that door, only to find my true humanity. Through the months, my poetry and I would have evolved in many different ways.

I will be treated more as a young adult opposed to a child and I must act as such. In eighth grade we are maturing our mind just as we are maturing physically. I must be able to wrap my brain around the complex novels, their deeply rooted issues, and rich and eloquent verbiage. Also, the suburban and censored bubble that we have been living in throughout our previous years at St. Michael’s will be inevitably popped. We will participate in service learning projects, and will mentor less-fortunate kids that go to school just across the street from us, but live in a drastically different socioeconomic world.

“ You’re grounded!” screamed your parents after receiving your first nine week report card as a freshman in high school. Many high school freshmen struggle when their first time in the huge high school kicks off with all the tests, homework, and the huge exams begin to add up to determine a lower grade than you thought. After my freshman year in high school, I noticed three key things that helped me through the tough year and be somewhat successful to move on. I would recommend making friends with upperclassmen, paying attention in class, and turning in ALL work. Its not as intimidating as it seems, trust me!

Since the ninth grade, I have improved on advocating for myself. I am no longer afraid of asking for extra time on tests or assignments. I also now can communicate my issues to my teachers without worrying that I was going to get yelled at.

The ninth grade is the point at which your grades begin to mean more than only a reward from your parents. Contingent upon the school, your high school transcript starts now. These grades will be pondering your school applications. This is the opportunity to quit fooling around as a student. just don't freeze, this is the only start of a long and difficult experience, and there will be bumpy roads along the way. Unless you're anticipating going to a tip top college, you can most likely manage the cost of a couple B's and C's in the ninth grade. Numerous universities will neglect this in the event that you show enduring
