The most significant challenge that I've had to face was moving schools and even states. It was some of the biggest and quickest changes I've ever had to deal with and it wasn’t easy especially at ages 8 through 11. I learned to adapt to things faster so I wouldn’t get the feeling of being left behind. This experience definitely changed me as a person making me stronger and independent. Moving to new schools is never simple; moving meant leaving everything behind and having to start over. From preschool to third grade I had gone to the same elementary, had lots of friends and knew most of the teachers. The school itself had been around for about 60 years and they decided it was getting old so they wanted to build a new school in the back. The only problem was not all the students would be transferring over to the new school and I was one of those students. …show more content…
We got to visit California almost every summer to see family and go to the fun amusement parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios. I was excited because that meant I’d get to leave the new school behind , along with the mean people and start over. The schools in California were definitely a lot more different than the schools in Idaho, one difference being that the schools in California were more outdoors with bungalows. I also realized there was much more hispanics in California than there was in Idaho. I was beginning my last year of elementary in a new place and then going on to middle school which was exciting. What I learned in this new school with these new people in a completely different state was that being myself was probably the most important thing in life. I didn’t enjoy the feeling of having to put other people’s wants and needs over my own, that wasn’t helping me at all. I made a lot of friends in 5th grade because they liked me for who I was, not for who I pretended to
Coming to school every day as a tenth grader was exciting, but it can get very annoying at times. I had to overcome many challenges to make it this far. Generally, freshman year was a year of change. One of the greatest things I learned as I reached sophomore year, was not to procrastinate.
Growing up in Chicago, I attended a neighborhood school from preschool through first grade. Although it was an exceptional school for elementary kids, the education for middle school and high school students was not as adequate. Seeking a better place to raise their children, my parents were faced with a tough choice. When I was in 2nd grade, our family made the decision to move to the suburbs. On July 3rd, we all packed into our Honda minivan and drove 45 minutes to a new home in the town of Winnetka. Within my first year at Crow Island, my new school, I learned so many new things. I started playing the violin and speaking Spanish, neither of which were offered at my old school. I met my best friends that I'm still close with now. Over the
In the past year, a lot has changed for me. I lost a grandfather to cancer, then a month later an uncle to a gruesome semi accident. My grandmother on the other side of the family barely remembers me due to alzheimer's, and my mom lost her job but is now working over 1300 miles away in Florida. If someone would have asked me at the start of my Junior year what I expected to happen, I wouldn’t have listed any of those. As anticipated, it was not easy dealing with a downfall of events like that, but the way I was raised helped me cope with it all. I started out at a small private school, where Religion was just as important as Math and English. How we were to act was drilled into us, and after I switched to public school, there was a noticeable
It is pretty cool that you had the same teacher for three years and that you liked her. It is nice to be reminded that there are teachers who care so much about their students and it is sweet that she wrote you letters over summer break. She is definitely a teacher that leaves a memorable impression on her students. It is too bad that college was a lot more difficult than you expected, but congratulations on deciding to go back and finish. I honestly do not know if I would be able to go back to school after stopping, however, maybe after discovering that I need an education in order to move up in my career then possibly my opinion would be different. I agree that this program is a lot of work, yet there is no doubt that it pays off.
After waiting eight extensive years in elementary school and middle school, I was finally going to go to a new high school. I felt extremely scared, it felt as if I actually had butterflies in my stomach. I was excited to go to the large new building but it almost looked too big.
Coming to a new school from a different city usually is a pretty nerve wracking experience, but Reece White, Junior, has fit into Topeka High like it’s no problem.
Something that has affected my life is when i moved schools. I moved from Tupelo Public Schools (classes of 400+) to Mooreville School District (classes of maybe 100). I enjoyed the move because it was a big difference. I know many people hated it at Tupelo, myself included. I chose mooreville because my dad lived in the school district. When i went to Tupelo, I didn’t really fit in. I always was the outcast. I didn’t fit in with any cliques or extracurricular activity groups, so i normally was just alone with a few friends to talk to. Whenever i made the move, in the middle of my 7th grade year, I was very unsure simply because i only knew one person who went there. She had been my best friend for years. I moved and then i decided that it
Getting to school at 7:15 am, an hour early, allowed me to sit on my desk, in the principal’s office, and get some reading done, outline my day, and finish up on work. School started at 8:15 am end ended at 3:44 pm. After school, from 4 pm to 7 pm, I either worked at school, attended BridgeUP, or partook in an internship. Then came the arduous chunk of my day. I would work from 8 pm to 12 am in multiple grocery and deli stores for my family. Even though my parents weren't in dire need for money, the money I made was belonged to them and was used for petty things. I did this every day of the week, but worked from 6am to 10 pm on Sundays, the devil's day. This lifestyle was mentally and physically excruciating, it was not the cat’s meow,
I like playing with my friends and going to the mall and playing games. The kind of games I like are horror and adventure and two player and multiplayer games. People think I am emo, but i’m not I am very shy around new people and people I don’t know. It’s hard making new friends in a new school and district that I am new to! I didn’t even know I was moving to a different school it was almost time to go back to school. I never got to see the rest of Ralph Chanler looked like and see what I could of done there. This school isn’t like a middle school, plus you don’t learn stuff that you have to learn here. But at my old place you would learn about the stuff about your body and other stuff.
Although, there are many days that I could choose from. I chose August 15, 2016. This day would be my Large Families so far, I started the new school year at a new school. My new school is Dierks high School. It is located in Dierks, Arkansas. I wasn’t sure that I was going to like it here, but this day showed me how wrong I was.
I just moved to a new town and i’m not the social type. I’m used to moving almost every year we move, but this year my dad said that we would stay (I don’t believe him), I just make friends and have fun then we moved. So this time I might make a few friends. Its the beginning of fall so I guess I get to start over like everyone else (I guess). So that means school is just around the corner so I guess it's time to start making friends.
The first thing that comes to mind when ask about a time I had to make a hard decision is the one I made to move my kids to a new school. In doing so, I added a 30 extra minutes to my morning and evening commute. I didn’t make this decision lightly. I did my research on the school. I looked into the I.E.P program and what it would mean for my children to have to start in a new school.
The memory that would remain with me until death would be, the first time I got bullied. My family had moved to a new place, which meant a new school and unfamiliar people for me. Life was awful and so many times I wanted to quit. I still have a vivid image of that incident. The bits I remember was that there were 2 girls in about grade 8 or 9 that would glare at me in such a peculiar way, that I would pee in my pants. After some time they would bump into me and drop my notebooks on the floor, saying I looked like an Asian and should go back and rot in China. But, that was not the end.
2017 is going to be the best year eve because I moved into a new town, Pulman, I will also go to Japan to see family and friends, and I will do is work on my goals.
When I was ten-years-old, my mother decided to move to New York and my life as I had known it changed forever. Even now, whenever I close my eyes, I can still clearly see my first day of school in America. A teacher led me into a brightly lit room, dozen of eyes peered up at me and I had never felt more like an animal at a zoo. The extent of my vocabulary back then didn’t extend much further beyond “hello” and “goodbye”. Adjusting to a new school would be difficult enough, but I was in a new country where I barely even know the language. Everyday at school, I can see my classmates talking to me, but no matter how hard I try, I can't understand anything that was said to me. One morning on my second week of school, as I was talking to my classmates,
