Moving To School

I really enjoy doing my homework and learning but, I hate going to school to learn and get my homework. I moved to Vermont after eighth grade because my father got to move higher up at work. I don't know a lot about his job but, I didn't have a say. Back at home in Mississippi I didn't have a lot of friends. I had one named Lucy but when I told her I was going to move she said we weren't friends anymore. I'm starting high school now and I'm so scared to start over again. I love my new room the view is very pretty but, tonight I hate it because tomorrow is my first day of 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.

Going into middle school for me, was terrifying. I didn’t know anyone, and making friends was on the top

The first friends I made went to church with me. Then I realized we went to school together also. I liked her, but sadly we split ways also. I went to the Early College, she went to the high school. I enjoyed the days we spent together in middle school. I made more friends and spent the summer with them. Before I knew it, I got a call from my older cousin, saying he was in the Air Force, and was moving to Montana. Tears streamed down my face, for he was an older brother to me. I was going to miss him the

The start of 9th grade was hard for me because of incidents in my family but it helped making me who I am and that's all that matter. I made new friends who helped me where some of my other friends couldn't and allowed me to be the real me as long as I was happy and they supported me through it all.

Life is full of decisions, which are both easy and hard. My parents' stories of escaping persecution from a

Before I came to Baker Middle School, I attended elementary school in Laytonsville. I had a group of friends that consisted of five people, Olivia Fink, Olivia Pallas, Mason LeBlanc, Kody Johnson, and Stefan Jacob. The Olivia’s both attend this school alongside me, but sadly the other three attends a different school. I became friends with those three because we all had common interests in multiple categories such as cartoons and humor. I still keep in touch with them, but I know we aren’t as close as we used to be. With the Olivia’s we all became best friends in the first week of Kindergarten and we still have been by each other’s side since. We became friends because we all sat next to each other on our little chairs, and talked about anything

It is hard to put into words how I feel about going back to school again. When I was younger, me and my sister looked forward to being gone school, that was fun. As I grew up, school was not fun for me anymore and I looked forward going to school less and less. Now, I am an adult and I am returning to school. I need to make my future career decision, and learning new skills can help me to achieve my goals. Education gives you confidence, life guarantee, compete with others and make your life wealth.

When I was 14 my mom went back to school to further her education. She was also worried that her going back to school would affect me. If it wasn't for my grandparents my mom would have never finished school but with had work and determination she finished and has a better job and is able to support her family better.

Lately, it seems, parents are getting more and more involved in their children's daily lives. A parents constant involvement in their child's lives can be a good thing, when their child is still a child and not so much after they have grown up. A new trend has sprung where parents feel it necessary to ,not only, take their child to college but to stay there with them.

Morgan's mother came in to pick her up from school. I stood on the bus landing until she and her daughter came up the sidewalk. I asked her to make certain that she wrote a note if Morgan were to be picked up again. The teacher would not be able to take the word of a child without a note. Morgan's mother was very nice and assured me that she would write a note the next time. I did not leave and tell you that everyone was gone until the buses were pulling off. If Abraham called, I was either outside with Morgan's mother or standing at the door as the parent's were picking up their children. I do not pick up the phone during parent pick-up. I believe it is more important for me to know who the children are leaving with. I am uncertain when she

At sixteen, I packed up to move back to my hometown of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Deciding to finish out high school while living with my favorite aunt. I graduated with honors, I then decided to go off to Pearl River College. In high school, I had a serious boyfriend, we did everything together from fishing at the docks, to attending all the hottest parties. He was my best friend and going off to college where we couldn’t be together felt like a big dent in my heart. Being so in love while in college was more than a challenge. We went from seeing each other every day to seeing each other every weekend or every other weekend. School was the last thing on my mind. Depressed, lonely, all my time was spent in my dorm room. By the end of that semester without trying to succeed in school, I flunked out and quit.

Transitioning from a home of which most people spent 18 years of their lives with their parents, to moving to a completely new environment can have many effects on a person. For one, having a parent to cook or feed you most of the time can be very convenient. Personally, I have a mother who loves to cook. The refrigerator would always be stocked with healthy foods. However, as I moved to college, I must rely on myself to maintain a healthy diet as I would at home. This Is challenging because most of us college students are too focused on classes and school work, and don’t know how to cook or simply don’t have the time for it. This leads to easy mac, ramen noodles, and microwavable ravioli. Nutrition is a big health factor when it comes to college

I eventually somehow passed sixth grade. I had been in band since 5th grade so now it is time to march which involved plenty of practice, and I got really connected with some people in the band. They became my tiny family (this was at Lauderdale County so it was tiny). With all of the homework and band practices I still seemed to find time for books, but with plenty of friends now I did not need them like I used to. We moved houses in December of that year and the principal said I could not stay at that school anymore. I was heartbroken, it took me so long to make friends at Lauderdale County I could not fathom about how long it would take me to make friends at Brooks. I became so sad I could not even open a book, but that changed when Miss Tidwell started teaching because I had a newfound will to succeed. The Outsiders got me back into reading so I picked up the books I had on my bookshelf collecting dust and began to read again. The cycle restarted of course I began to make friends and was not relying on books to entertain me. The worst year of my life rolls

Freshman year I remember walking into the school mortified, thinking that everything and anything that could go wrong would. I had never attended a Liberty-Benton School and knew about five people that would be in my grade. I was shy and quiet because I didn’t know any of the new faces. I was insecure about myself and thought that it would be almost impossible to make friends. Before high school, I went to a small, private,
