My Time In Middle School

My eighth grade year of Middle school. I had many challenges, with making friends and subjects. But one challenge was mathematics.I knew my eighth grade year was most important when it came transferring into my high school years, yet I didn’t do anything to raise my grade in mathematics at that time. It wasn’t until two I had a very low grade in mathematics on my report card at that I realized I needed to do something about my low grade. So after that report in math, I really was determined to really bring that F up to at least a B or A. So I remember I started to go to after school tutoring to get help with my math subject. They placed me with a teacher named Ms.Alice. And she really helped me with my subject.

The best thing that happened in school for the first day was when I realized I had at least one friend in every class I had. Even if I don’t end up sitting next to a friend in class, it was nice to know that I’d have someone to rely on for help. Another great thing that makes the year better is that in most of the classes, I’ve gotten to sit with friends.

Five long years ago, I was a seventh grader in junior high school. I hated almost every minute of it. I was picked on and was subjected to the “out” crowd, but honestly, that was important to me.

New friendships kindled and I began to learn the way of the group, how they dressed, the must have brands, and the lingo used throughout the school. Again I made sure that I knew all the right things to fit in with the crowd to prevent myself from being “different” and judged.

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.

It felt weird sitting at a different school.. I did meet some of my old friends from last year, like Zander Jackson, but he was on the “red team.” It was also a bit weird to find out that Mrs. Smith was actually my neighbor!

When I got use to the school I did not feel like a little kid.I had new friends and all my classes were fun. The teacher

Going from elementary school to middle school was scary and exciting. I was excited because I knew that Gulf Coast went on lots of fun trips but I was nervous because none of my friends would be going to Gulf Coast and I wouldn’t have anyone to be my partner. The Last Days of Summer Camp was a lot of help because it showed me 1) that I had no old friends and 2) it helped me make a lot of friends.

Just like any freshman in high school I was very nervous about coming up to the high school but thankfully my sister and her friends were seniors so they made me

At the beginning of the year, I was uncomfortable. I felt like I would not be able to learn as much because of the different environment I was faced with. Little did I know it would be the complete opposite; I would end up learning more than I ever had before in a traditional English class. I was a little uneasy about the classroom setup, rolly chairs usually formed in a circle, and typically a student led class. As the year progressed, I realized that the mobility of the chairs and the opportunity to openly participate in class discussions led to me becoming more comfortable in the classroom and also led to me learning more about how to become a better reader, writer, and thinker. I accepted the challenge of learning in a unique environment.

I was a very quiet person, but social in high school. Unfortunately since school was such a challenge for me I always did not take school serious. I had to work hard for all my grades, always being a C student. Since for 12 years I had to work extra hard in school, I was ready for school to be over. I did not have the opportunity to go to college, so I started working and married my high school sweetheart.

Starting at a new school as an 8th grader is hard because I didn't know anybody except I Play football so I met like 5 people that go to this school but weren't so close to them. I have gotten closer but I miss going to the school I went to in tigard. The first week or so was hard because i didn't have clue what the building looked like so I sometimes got my classes mixed up or had to search for them.

I believed it was going to be difficult to make new friends. I was not sure how they reacted to new people or how their personalities were. I also was not sure how to approach them. When I began to talk with my new classmates, I realized we have many common interests. Making new friends became easier for me overtime by simply finding common interests and being kind to others.

The first school I attended, I started there from pre-school up until 3rd grade. At that school, I was extremely comfortable because I was basically growing up there and I wasn’t the “new kid” ,but the move to the next school I felt extremely lost. Each year that I was moved to a different school, I felt like I had been losing little bits of my identity.

I had changed friends but I believe it was too late then, I wanted to take everything back from those school ages. At the time, all the way up until graduation I had the same friends. 7 years later I have not one friend from school anymore. It seems that everyone went their separate ways, and I felt at this time a lot of the things I did were stupid and un thought of.
