My Changes In Middle School

For me, middle school was probably the most excruciating years of my life. I thought it was only me and everyone else had it easy and completely understood everything that was happening to their bodies and minds. In fact, I still have dreams about my middle school years like forgetting my locker combination or hiding in the bathroom stall because the most popular girls were gossiping about a friend of yours. The settings in these dreams are always my middle school; I find it amazing that thirty years after I attended school that I can remember vivid details about the layout, hallways, lockers, and teachers. The reason for this I believe is that for ALL students the middle school years are the most influential to shaping and becoming who a person is and who they wish to become. Middle schools are essential for the success of students because of the unique developmental stages of these students. For teachers, comprehension of young adolescent development is key to understanding the physical, emotional, intellectual, social and moral needs and interests of these students (Powell, 2015, p. 55) and also teachers need to develop a curriculum that is focused on developing students competence in all subject matter and using their knowledge and available resources to design, implement, and evaluate challenging, responsive curriculums that result in meaningful learning outcomes (Powell, 2015, p. 145). All students should feel that they are accepted for who he or she is as an

Some other reasons for the decline in achievement during the transition to middle school may be due

Another thing that changes is student’s ability to focus. In elementary students might have had a lack of focus, focused on the wrong issues, or not have a focus at all. While in middle school, students focus on their studies and the more

I have changed a lot in high school, because in high school there is no time to whets. In some of my classes I have to pass my midterm exam because I do not want to fail my classes and so I can get the credit I need to graduate. So then I can show my parents that I do care about my classes, and my GPA. And also in high school it is more stuff for me but I will eventually get better at the rate that I’m going. So when I have to go to one of my classes and see if I am passing all of them. And so in high school it will make you care for a lot of things like your grades your credits and also you’re GPA. Everything will make you change for the better in life and better education.

Many changes happen in middle school good and bad, but for me mostly good. A lot of things have changed since before middle school like my height and intelligence.

"There is no chan change without struggle"-Fredeick Douglas. The same concept was for me when I entered middle school.I had to change what I liked and did to make myself a better athlete and student.Being better wasn't the easiest thing on earth,I had to make many sacrifices.i made goals for myself,so I can fulfill my goal.

In middle school I also changed because I have 8 classes, and you have different books for each class. The things that you learn in middle school are a lot harder to so, I became a lot more stressed. The task that you take on in middle school are

My first difference is I became more mature. When I got into middle school I became more mature. One thing I matured on was making more decisions on my own. When I was in elementary school I had people make more of my decisions for me than I do know. In middle school you also have more classes and the teachers do not walk you to them like they do at elementary.

Going to middle school is dreaded by most students. Waking up early just to get lectured and sit around in a boring class. However my middle school was quite different class often times where hectic many teachers couldn't control their students and lacked respect from them. Causing many teachers and volunteers to be rude and disrespectful to the students as well. Another major difference that made our school

Since I entered to high school I’ve changed in many ways. Now for me school its more important, here I cannot say “at least I’m passing” I have to get A’s and B’s. But changes in high school aren’t only the importance of school, you change in many ways for example your body, you learn to get mature too.

Middle School changed how I viewed or felt about learning new things and following through challenges. I want to get better in school so that I can go into high school, and then soon to college. If you don't know I am a twin sister and as usual I tried to be better than her, I got annoyed when she got better grades than me and I would get upset with myself. Once I got a little older she got even better and my grades stayed the same. When I started fifth grade my grades got better, and I was proud of myself for doing better. Then school ended, and I was on my way to Middle School.

I woke up two hours early as I was paranoid not to be late. I got ready in the morning and got on the bus at exactly 7:45. Once the school bus arrived at Taylor Road, I entered and got lost immediately. The environment was different for me; I felt nervous but confident. The day continued and I got to know my teachers' better. Eventually, a few weeks had gone by and my mindset towards middle school quickly changed. The difficulty of exams given overwhelmed me, which lead to poor grades. I grew angry at myself because I knew I could much better work. I became determined to fix my previous mistakes by going to study sessions, working one on one with teachers, and managing my time more efficiently. As I put in more effort to succeed, positive results followed. Sixth grade eventually came to an end and I finished the year with straight A’s. Although I felt happy with my grades, part of me was missing.

Elementary school was all fun when you had easy homework and the teachers would go easy on you, but there was none of that in middle school. I have changed schools before and have always been able to adjust to the people and environment, but changing schools and going to middle school was a struggle for me. The teachers, work, the environment, religion, responsibilities and so many other attributes were all very diverse from any other school I’ve ever been to. Fortunately for me Makai and JJ two really good friends of mine were also coming to this school for the first time and were also tense for the first day of middle school. St. Louis being an all boys school was something that helped me with adjusting because It made me feel less nervous and more confident. Starting middle school and moving schools wasn’t going to be easy at all for me, but in life, nothing worth doing ever is going to be easy.

Growing up is a journey we all have to travel. We all make our own paths on our adventure of change. Along the way the path will be beautiful and smooth-sailing, bumpy and rough, and sometimes conflict will appear out of the blue. At times forks in the road will show up and decisions must be made. Change is inevitable. Throughout a lifetime decisions made will be small and slight, or huge and major. It does not matter because one decision can change one’s path completely. Even the slightest change can make the difference. The decision could even be a change of hairstyle. A change in hairstyle could lead to a new fashion sense, to a new genre of music, to a completely new person. I myself have noticed many differences and similarities between my middle school self and now; and it is only the beginning.

In middle school, you experience many changes. You will or may have had to get used to seven classes, seven teachers, seven subjects, and seven times more classmates you interact with up until you graduate high school. Growing up in a very sheltered environment made me different from majority of my peers in middle school. My mother always taught me to be ambitious and live on my own terms. In all of my five years of elementary school I was carefree and never insecure, until my big transition into middle school which changed my personality and views of myself.
