I was in middle school which was 5th to 8th grade, I had multiple adjective to describe my experience in middle school. While in Middle School, it was a struggle which has stayed as an adult. For I am always looking at myself seeing all the flaws in my features, in addition when family members and/or friends state my beauty features, I will brushed them off by stating the negative. Until recently, I was able to overcome my inability of reading in public and/or to my peers. As my cousin passed away tragically, his mother (my Aunt) asked me to read his poem to her and a group of about 50 strangers. She knew my fear of public speaking, but she also know my dream of becoming a teacher and me starting to be a substitute teacher. Therefore, she knew I had to overcome the fear of speaking. I was extremely happy with myself to speak clearly and to have the strength and encouragement of my family to overcome my greatest fear with a poem in dedication to my beloved cousin. In 5th grade, I was insecure with my image as I was bully by others for my appearance which I expressed still affects me as an adult. I was nervous to do presentations as I was unconfident with my appearances, therefore in English, I failed behind. I would hid in a corner and when I had to read in a small group, I would stutter and/or make an excuse for the reason of me not being able to read. In 6th grade, I was shy, not wanting to talk to others as I was afraid of what they would think and say to about me which
Most people go through Middle School without any problems and I wish I could say the same about my experience. But I can’t. I was bullied a lot through Middle school. The students would comment about my weight and ask questions such as, “Why are you massive compared to your brother?” or, “Are you sure you don’t need a custom made desk to fit into?” Soon enough, I got use to the name calling and payed little attention to it. However, I can’t say the same about my self confidence. After core classes, we’d head to the locker room and get ready for Physical Education. I was always the last one to get dressed. Not because I was slow, but because I didn’t want the other kids to see me take off my shirt. I was scared of potential humiliation. So,
I believe that your grades do not define you, but the amount of effort you put in does. In middle school, I struggled a lot. I had so much going on in school life and in my personal life. I was depressed and completely overwhelmed. There were so many things that I did that I regret, but of course anyone could say I was just the average rebellious teenager, right? In seventh grade, I lied about having a boyfriend, I got grounded multiple times, and I began to hang with the wrong crowd. My grades started to slope downward, as did everything else that was going well for me. My mom lost her trust for me and so did the rest of my family, my best friend moved away, and my dad began to have liver problems from his long past of alcoholism. I just sort
Throughout middle school, I've had many different experiences, talked to people and dealt with problems from students, to teachers, to the other staff members of our school. I couldn’t help but notice some things about these three years about grades, my learning styles, relationships, myself, different activities, and my hopes for the future.
In middle school, 5th to 8th grade, I endure multiple adjective to describe my experience in middle school. While in Middle School, I struggle with my appearance which has stayed as an adult. For I always look at myself and all the flaws in my features, as my family members and/or friends state my beauty features, I will brushed them off by stating the negative feature I visually observe. Until recently, I’ve overcome my inability of reading in public and/or to my peers. As my cousin passed away tragically, his mother (my Aunt) asked if I will read his poem to her and a group of 50 strangers. She knew my fear of public speaking, she also knew my dream of becoming a teacher and starting to a career as a substitute teacher. Therefore, she knew I needed to overcome the fear of speaking. I am extremely pleased with myself to speak clearly and to have the strength and encouragement of my family to overcome my greatest fear with a poem in dedication to my beloved cousin.
My middle school experience has been like a rollercoaster, full of ups and down and sharp twist and turns that either make me scream in excitement or cry in fear, and in the end, it went by too quickly making me question whether I want to experience it all over again or leave and never turn back. No matter how I feel about it, middle school has shaped who I am today. Since the beginning of 6th grade till now, the end of 8th grade, I’ve changed a lot. I’m not just walking able gaining weight and growing a few inches; I’m talking about what I discovered. The last 3 years has taught me many lessons and helped me grow emotionally and changed my view of the world, the people around me and myself.
When I was 16 years old, I was going through some tough times I got kicked out of my boarding schools and started falling into deep depression.I was always focusing on other people’s imperfections, but I never really looked at mine.I struggled with having a true
My earliest childhood memories are of constant fear. A skinny kid, vampiric skin with crooked teeth, somewhat shy and reserved with social anxiety, I was an easy target for bullies, which made my issues even more difficult to handle. I never spoke to anyone about my feelings because I felt that it was considered a weakness. At the age of four I started playing video games. As I got older, I was almost consider to be a part of me. I saw the joy that my parents got when
Student experiences can be evaluated in a variety of ways and attributed to the quality of educational systems. At different ages, students are better suited to different types of learning environments and teaching methods; however, the effectiveness of schools and teachers continuously influences all school-aged children. Throughout this analysis, I will focus primarily on my experience during my 6th grade year in middle school, including how my success was affected by the effectiveness of the school and my teachers throughout the year.
During my primary education, I was teased and mocked for having a speech impediment. I couldn’t process my thoughts before I was able to voice them. I was forced to take speech classes to help correct my stuttering problem. I felt like an outcast as my other peers judged me because of my speech impairment. As I grew older, I was reluctant to communicate with my peers since I was afraid I might stutter and be teased. I was able to push through my struggles as a child and join the girl’s freshman basketball team. I’ve always had an introverted personality, but that completely changed when I began communicating with individuals on this team. I allowed myself to be open and to trust others, thus I was able to become more involved with extracurricular
Growing up I struggled to complete simple tasks such as approaching people when I needed help, being so afraid of everything was difficult. I was anxious of what others might think of me and what they might say to me. I was a normal child on the outside but on the inside I was fighting a whole new battle with myself to find my voice and to
I was a very shy, awkward girl. I was scared to do most things, I even got annoyed when i had to talk to people or even present infront of the class. I remember dreading just thinking about having to go up infront of the class and going to events. I became, very scared to do anything with people around me. Then one day i decided to change my group of friends, I tried to communicate with new people. I was very nervous at first, but then i got the hang of it i became very close with those new people. They have really helped me be the best type of person i can be. Now, i just go hangout with that group of friends all the time, I really love that i can be myself around them and just have a good time.
As I have gotten older and continue to get older, I start to care less about how others view me and accept that this an important characteristic that defines who I am. Talking to new people is a challenge, but one that I welcome. Self improvement is a terrifying thing to think about because of the difficulties it presents, but the end result is always satisfactory. My physical response to hard situations may not change, but my mental response can. My heart races, palms get sweaty, legs get shaky, and voice gets froggy. Afraid, but accepting and learning from each terrifying
Growing up I struggled with the fear of what others thought of me, and it kept me trapped. At high school prom I couldn’t convince myself to dance when all my friends were because I was afraid people would laugh at me. Maybe I was just a chorophobic? But I realized it wasn’t just dancing. As a child I always wanted to dress like the “cool” kids so one day in
As I progressed into my elementary years I got less and less confident. My school environment had a large impact on my identity, I became an unconfident and shy person. In my fifth grade year, my parents decided to switch schools in the area, and find a school with a better and more involved environment. Once I joined this school I immediately felt a change, my teacher pushed me to my limits, and showed me that I was smarter than I think. This new environment change, gradually helped my self confidence boost up. I started to share my musical talent to my friends, and I became more confident in myself by doing so. That year I was rediscovering myself, and coming back to the person I used to be. Once I got into middle school, my friends started hanging out with new people, and I was becoming stranded and alone again just as I was before. I became depressed about how I once again have no friends, and how I have completely changed from the once bubbly, always full of sunshine toddler to the unconfident and depressed person I have become. Through studying my religious teachings and scriptures, I came overwhelmed with a peace that I am a
I had no shyness at all. I would speak my mind, which often would get me in quite amount of trouble. Once I got into the sixth grade, something in me changed. It was like a switch had flipped inside. In our town, there was a school specially meant for the sixth grade. It was meant to prepare us for the High school setting. With that, I was suddenly thrust into a larger scene of social complexity.
