Middle School Year

The first year of middle school was a year of transition into a new world. I would be going to a new school and enhance my life academically and on a social level. Looking back at that year isn’t so pleasant. My new self today, sucked in numerous amounts of life lessons that contradict the person I was in sixth grade. Sixth grade was all about fitting in for me. I just wanted to be part of a crowd and be known. I didn’t care about my academics at the moment. However, I was lucky enough to be educationally talented and not get to astray in the learning environment. Personally, sixth grade was too overloaded with drama and the drive to be high in the social rankings. If I traveled back to sixth grade, I’d sucker punch myself for getting

My eighth grade year of Middle school. I had many challenges, with making friends and subjects. But one challenge was mathematics.I knew my eighth grade year was most important when it came transferring into my high school years, yet I didn’t do anything to raise my grade in mathematics at that time. It wasn’t until two I had a very low grade in mathematics on my report card at that I realized I needed to do something about my low grade. So after that report in math, I really was determined to really bring that F up to at least a B or A. So I remember I started to go to after school tutoring to get help with my math subject. They placed me with a teacher named Ms.Alice. And she really helped me with my subject.

book after book. All titled Middle school, the worst years of my life, how I survived middle school, middle school get me out of here,and the list goes on . As I was nearing the end of fifth grade, I started seriously thinking about how middle school would be and got worried after hearing of so many stories of people's terrible middle school years. However, I have to admit it really hasn’t been all that bad these last three years and in fact, middle school may have been my favorite, compared to elementary school. With more freedom, more people, more homework, more activities, more teachers, more fun classes, more excitement, more everything quite frankly, I have been able to have . I am sure a lot of us have fun throughout these middle school while learning more about yourselves and the people around us each year. I am sure many of us have been able to say for sure that we have had many experiences that can prepare us for the future.

When junior year ended last summer, I felt like I knew exactly what was coming my way-- after all, I watched three different groups of my friends go through senior years of their own. It was finally my turn to experience senior year, something it seemed I had known about for years, and I felt like senior year would be easygoing and uneventful. Now, it has taken just a few short months to realize how incorrect I was. If senior year has taught me anything, it is that one never really knows what comes next for them, even if they have a good idea. The monumental highs, as well as the deepest of lows, have kept me on my toes throughout my senior year.

Junior year was full of many new experiences. We were now classified as upper classmen! Just like any of the other years in high school this year had just as many ups and downs. One of the main stresses in eleventh grade was the SAT. For sure one of the scariest things that I have ever had to do. All of the preparation going into it and the amount of studying made me feel as if I wasn’t going to have a brain by the time the testing was over. I took college and career readiness, which really helped prepare me for what was to come. By this time in high school I had already had my job for a little over a month, so I already knew what to expect once school started. I am thankful enough that at my job you get to leave at seven because I hear many

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle school.

Towards the end of my senior year of high school, I was preparing for the next chapter of my life. I would be attending UC Davis in the summer for a four weeklong orientation program, specifically for first generation college students. This was the first time I would be leaving home by myself to a different country and it was the first time in over eight years that I would be exposed to the American culture. I did not have any roots in any American city nor did I have a so-called “home state.” However, if there was one thing for sure, it was that Germany was my home and it has been for the majority of my life. In this paper, I will be discussing how the following topics in sociology: culture, socialization, and identity are related to my move from Germany to California as well as how I felt during the entire situation.

One of the many things that I have discovered to be the hardest about middle school is juggling your priorities. While Ella has transitioned out of fourth grade, an environment familiar to crafts, spelling tests, and colorful notebooks, the side she has wandered into is full of homework, math tests, and demanding teachers. There will be many nights when your friends are hanging out, but you have a mountain of work to complete. You will usually be stuck in a hard decision. But that’s where your priorities come in to play. You will have to decide between getting good grades on homework or having fun for 30 minutes. Or, if you have a project due in a few days and you know you won’t have time in the future, you put your phone down and tackle the assignment head on! Whether it is homework or a birthday bash, you will soon find out that the older you get, the more you have to prioritize.

The typical middle school has a vision or mission that speaks about the importance of including both the academic and the personal development of each young adolescent student. Although middle schools may have this mission, not all of these schools may abide by this vision and only focus on the academic part of the mission. Middle schools should prepare students with the knowledge of being able to think outside the box and to think critically. Students at this age do not know how to think beyond themselves and Internet right at their fingertips, they have all the answers they need. If

The 2017-18 academic year was a learning experience for me starting middle school. I started St. Mary’s School in the third grade and was used to staying in one class room for most of the day. As I have got older I was ready for the challenge of the middle school experience.

One piece of advice I would have to say is not to wait till last minute to turn things in. I personally did that a lot and it lead to a lot of stress and also lead to less free time at home. I remember times where I would come home and would have to stay up till 11 or 12 because I had all my homework to do from school and I would have to Finnish my projects. My next piece of advice would be to enjoy the year. While yes there are going to be a lot of reports and project I had to remind myself that this is my last year of middle school. I could look back later in life and think, wow middle school sucked or , wow middle school was fun and sometimes I wish i could go back and relive so of those moments. My final piece of advice would be to make

There’s more to Middle School than just math, science, soc-st, English, reading, and Exams. There's all the classes and activities that could happen after school. There's Choir, Band, Student Council, and Forensics. When I joined choir I thought that it was really boring, but as we did our concerts and had Large Group Festival It got really fun. As the year went on we learned about different music symbols and their meanings.

What advice would you give to someone starting middle school? For starters always put school first. If you get school work done right away you won't have a stormy cloud above your head the whole week, and you can get the chance to focus on other things like friends, family, and even sports and the things you love. Getting it done right away will help you be successful in the long run. If you can get all of your homework done well and on time you can up your grades, because grades are more important than you think. Failing grades are such a big deal because you can even lose a scholarship from them. Don’t let that happen! Secondly never plagiarize, quote the ideas that you borrow and write in your own words! Plagiarizing

Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life. Accordingly, the high school years are a time when teachers emphasize the importance of graduating and attending college in order to have a “succesful future.”
