I was packing my backpack with all my new school supplies as my mom walked into my room, "Victor, make sure you set an alarm for tomorrow morning. You cannot miss the bus on your first day at Taylor Road Middle School." "I know, Mom" I quickly responded. I put the last box of crayons in the front pocket and zipped the backpack up. I got in bed and began to doze off, thinking to myself, "My classes are going to be a breeze this year. My teachers seem nice, I like the school, and I've already met some new people―what could possibly go wrong?"
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.
I looked forward to 7th grade as I
To many freshman the first day of high school is the opening chapter of a new novel, a fresh start to a sometimes embarrassing middle school experience we would all just love to erase from our memories. August 13th, 2012 was the beginning of my four year long narrative at Cypress Bay High School. Despite my desperate desire to grow up, become an adult, and move far away from my parents for college all that did not seem possible because I had never previously attended a public school. I was struck with fear that I would not be able to adjust to the fast pace dynamics of a large high school.
Growing up I was known to be a very shy child. I was too scared to talk to anyone and I was very reserved. I always have cared about what people thought about me. I didn’t want to wear “boy” clothes because I worried kids would make fun of me. I didn’t even make close friends until fifth grade. When I did finally feel comfortable at school and found amazing friends, I decided to switch schools shortly after for a chance at new opportunities. It lead me to standing alone in a crowded high school while I waited for that first bell to ring, so I could head to my first period class.

It was the first month of my high school years, I was as nervous as an incoming freshman could be. I had no idea how long and strenuous my years at Bensalem High School would feel. As many others, I had a hard time adjusting to the transition from middle school to high school. Unlike others, though, I struggled about twenty
Everybody is nervous on the first day of middle school, especially moving from an elementary school because ever thing is new and clean, meaning you don’t what to expect and the unexpected. Well that's because I’m here , to tell things might expect and things you expected but were confused about.
It was the very first day of first grade. I starred at the dork across the room. He had glasses, a goofy bowl haircut, and a sweater vest. I recall thinking to myself I would never be friends with him, just look at him, he 's such a geek. Half of the school year had gone by and I made sure I never talked to him, not even one time. I had kept this record going for a while until one day I decided to take my dog for a walk. Walking him through the neighborhood, I noticed a couple of kids playing inside of a parked boat outside a house. To my surprise it was him and his little brother.
Friends come and go like the waves of the ocean. One minute they’re all over you and the next they start to fade.” Be with those who help your being,” these are words spoken by the famous poet Jalal Ad-din Muhammad Rumi. This quote is basically saying to surround yourself with people who benefit you, and help you become a better person.
The first year, the time to prove myself had arrived. Classes, rooms, teachers, and some students were unfamiliar. Eventually, minutes melted into hours, hours to days, and days to weeks. It didn’t take long before my schedule was routine, something of second nature. Humor and happiness were found in the form of my advisory family, where school was transformed into something more than going through the same motions of day to day activity. By the closing point of sixth grade, I was having a hard time letting go of what I’d adapted to. “What’s wrong?” my dad asked when I was getting into the car after being picked up early on the last day. I explained how distressed I was that my first year of middle school exceeded my expectations, and that it had to come to an end. Although his outlook viewed my reason for sorrow as trivial, I didn’t.
On a foggy Thursday morning, I was up earlier than normal for the first day of school. Hardly any sleep was received throughout the night as the excitement for the next day sat in. The hallway was dark as I made my way to the kitchen. Within the next hour, my life would change drastically. The first day of school can always be problematic. However, the first day of high school is especially hard. Youthful children are always looking up to high school students. They seem like they are so old and mature. It is hard to imagine that you would ever be that old. On this morning, I was going to become one of those terrifying high school students.

My muddy cowgirl boots touch the spotless, white concrete as I hop off the shiny golden bus. As I start walking towards the unfamiliar doors, I see the other kids look at me then down at the ground where my boots had stained the pure white concrete. A couple of years ago their stares would have bothered me, but being the new kid on the block for all three years of middle school i’ve become accustomed to the judgemental looks. As I reach for the door a group of girls all wearing hollister jeans, Lily Grace t-shirts, and high top converse cut me off and strut in like they were the stars of a red carpet premiere. I shrug it off and say to myself, “there will always be that one group.” I hold the door for some people that were behind me and take my first steps into the place my parents promised me would be my home from now until I graduate.
Have you ever seen someone being picked on for what they look like or just because the way they do something? Well that’s what happened on my first day of school.
Ding! Ding! Ding! My alarm clock goes off as I remember today is my first day of middle school. I hop out of bed, get changed, and run down stairs. I pack up my backpack and make sure my iPad is fully charged for the day. I eat my cinnamon and sugar sweet like a brownie muffin for breakfast and make my lunch.”Goodbye mom see you when I get home,” I call as I pick up my backpack. I say goodbye to my huge fluffy dog Chelsea and head off to the bus stop. Vroom! I hear the school bus come towards my bus stop and I get on. I see lots of people don't know which makes me nervous. I finally see my best friend Sally and sit with her. We compare are schedules and only have science together. Looking at my schedule makes me nervous about how I'm going to find everything. We arrive a the school and get off, we walk straight in and see a maroon go eagles sign. I find the cafeteria where all sixth graders should meet. The teachers give us our locker combos and we go find them I have no clue where it is and how to open it. After a few minutes of trying to open it a teacher helps me and I get it. I have to get to class so I dump everything in my locker and leave, leaving it a mess I'll have to clean it later. At the end of the day I sit on the bus thinking that wasn't so bad I just need to clean my locker.
Summer vacation is over, time to start a new level in my life, high school. I was scared to start high school, it felt as if I was barely going into kindergarten. My older sister Diana, and brother Robert were no help. Instead of describing high school in a more positive way, they described it as, “High school is boring and not even helpful instead it feels like Jail” I was full of fear, questions after questions would be running through my head. What if I don’t fit in? What if I fail every class? It was Saturday morning, my family and I were just done eating breakfast, and decided to go shopping, I bought all my school supplies to go prepared. Sunday night, I was writing in my diary how frightened I was to not fit in or be alone, with no friends. Two weeks before starting my freshman year I went to pick up my schedule, My first hour was physical science, second English, third Avid, fourth advisory, fifth period and six lunch and seventh Chinese and my last hour was theater. So Monday came I woke up, brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed.
The first day of middle school is a scary time for anyone; it signifies that you are no longer a little kid, but you’re also not a teenager. The transition from elementary school to middle school puts an adolescent in an awkward position, one that most people desperately try to erase from their memory. But what if your very first day of this three year period went down in history as one of the worst days of your life?
