Middle school is great. I guess you have to learn to love it because it will be with you for years. My friends are amazing, and the teachers are nice. When I look back to the first few days of middle school, though, I think, how did everything work out so well?
Being the new kids in a huge school is difficult. Therefore, knowing one friend was helpful. Her name is Rachel. Other than that, I knew five kids who I’ve said about two words to. I actually got lucky having Rachel in my team class, except her homeroom was the other teacher. On the first day of school, I got lost. It wasn’t the best start to the day, so when I walked in the room and saw a familiar face, I smiled.
I found my seat on the opposite side of the room. Everyone at my table was talking

Suddenly the two people I knew best were gone. All the way on the other side of the huge cafeteria. I sat still. I knew I couldn’t just sit every single lunch like what I had been doing, so I tried to talk to some people.
“How was your summer Cait?” I ask. I don’t think she heard me. I got more nervous. It felt like Rachel and Anna were gone for hours.
When they came back, it looked like they arguing, but in a funny way. “Hey,” Anna says. I kind of jumped. I couldn’t believe she was talking to me. “Did Rachel go to Hawaii this summer?”
“Not that I know of,” I respond. I found the chance to start a conversation, so I added, “Why?”
“Well she was just telling me about her amazing vacation to Hawaii, and how she almost got bit by a shark. I don't believe it,” Anna says. Rachel’s cheeks start to puff up. She has a thing for telling little lies just for fun. As if that was a cue, we all burst into laughter.
Finally, my nerves went away, and everything really did feel normal. I was happy the rest of the year wasn’t going to be that hard.
I’m glad Rachel and I are still best friends. If it wasn’t for her bringing me in, I would probably be sitting by myself at
There are many more things I like about middle school, however the freedom you are allowed is one of my favorites. Independency is something I like to have and as an elementary school student you are mostly dependent on your main teacher. Being independent also goes along with changing your classes. At first I was scared about changing from seven different classes, but once I got used to it I was fine. For instance, in sixth grade I always lost my iPad and pencils in my classes because I wasn’t used to being so responsible and free. One of the biggest things about the freedom you get is different friends. Instead of being in a classroom with the same 25 people all day, you move and have different people in every single one. That allows you to make new friends and talk to new people who you maybe didn’t talk to in the
Middle school was a place where I was beginning to mature and see how to make it on my own. Also I got to meet new people. Try new things and just have fun. The best day I had in middle school was when me and my friend won the science fair project fair. We had came in second place. I was so happy and proud of what we
As a diverse student, in a very low income community I have always been known to standing up for others, as well as for myself. Having this natural drive i found myself taking a huge role in our high school Beta Club. As a natural leader, I was challenged with the opportunity to represent our high school’s Beta Club Chapter while running for North Carolina Beta Secretary. Although I felt experienced as a leader, I was really nervous to get up in front of all of North Carolina and give a speech at the Beta Club convention. Although I was nervous, I opened my mouth, and the words just began to come out. My fears went away, and I addressed everyone on topics of educational improvements and opportunities for all students to succeed. I used this
Middle school was a journey that allowed us to figure out who we are and allow us to mature a little. Growing up doesn’t mean that we cannot act like kids.Someone once said, “Age doesn't define maturity. Some people will never grow up.”
It was night, and I was walking Kaitlyn, my best friend, back to her house from the park. “Thanks, it was fun hanging with you”, she says smiling.
Middle school was a lot of fun for me, I met a lot of new people and lots of new girls. It was also kinda tough in the beginning with switching classes and things and having so many different teachers and lots of homework from different classes and having to remember the room numbers of each class but eventually I got used to everything.
No, no, I was just getting out of the shower. Sam and I drove all night and I just woke up. Sam ran out to get food and I didn’t hear it ringing until I turned the water off,” Rachel heard something rubbing against the phone, probably the towel drying his hair. “How’s the vacation going? You guys go to Big Ben and meet the Queen?”
One evening what she was getting ready for a date with Brody. Santana and Quinn had come into her room trying to talk to her "ok Rachel I have a Mexican third eye I can tell something is not right with you what is going on" Santana had stated. Rachel turned around looking at them both "Santana I don't know what you are talking about I am perfectly fine just extremely busy here lately." I have seen it too Rachel it is a lot more. Then you being extremely busy'" Said Quinn.
“KEE LOO LA DO!” she shouted. Her whole family pops out of their hiding spots, there was a lot of them. So me and Shania talked about how there was a monster where she lived, and they were all scared so the flied from there, and took shelter in the pool. Everyone in Shania’s family felt bad, so they all helped cleaned out the pool. Me, Kennice, Natalie, and Trinity, helped to bring the family back to the swamp, and there was no monster in sight. Me, Kennice, Natalie, and Trinity went back to the pool and had lots of fun. And we lived happily ever
Best friends get you through a lot. Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side...
“Hey, you guys coming?” I called to my family, who was still walking to the spot where I had dropped all my stuff in a pile on the beach. “Yeah, we’re coming!” My sister Becky called back.
Hello from past Kiersten. How’s senior year? Hopefully you have benign teachers and you’re not overly stressing about homework or your GPA (even though I know you most definitely are). Freshman year must've seemed like a breeze compared to junior and senior year, eh? Hopefully you’ve gotten cooler and have refrained from saying things like “eh”. Anyway, freshman year was very stressful. It seemed like the teachers showed apathy toward us with all of the homework they assigned and the novels we were forced to read and analyze. The majority of my freshman year was filled with (unnecessary amounts) stress which engendered many sleepless nights. I probably spent 85% of my year feeling lethargic. You’re probably laughing in derision at the fact
“Megan, thanks for making it possible we were all able to get together before I leave. I can’t think of a nicer place to spend time with my friends than here at the beach. It’s so beautiful here, I love watching the surf and being close
"Tres bien. So, my girls have Francois spoken to you, thus far," she questioned them.
When second period finally ended I was starving, I rushed out of the classroom and straight into the cafeteria. It was full of hungry teenagers, I slowly push myself through the crowd, to buy my lunch. Unlike most schools, this school seems to have a decent menu. I went to the counter and ordered myself a plate of spaghetti and coke. After I paid for my lunch I looked around the cafeteria for an empty seat.
