Personal Narrative: How My Life Changed Since Elementary School

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is astounding. For example, the classes are a lot more difficult than they were in eighth grade. By comparison, in eighth grade I would have at least two tests every Friday but now I have about five quizzes and two tests throughout the whole week. However, I do learn the material better when we have quizzes and tests even if it does stress me out. I also believe that being in ninth grade helps me understand time management more. Whereas in eighth grade I would just go home and watch television for a few hours, in ninth grade you have to come home, do your homework and study for a couple of hours. I have also learned that if you miss one day of school you'll miss everything. For instance, if you

Life is different in many ways. There is much more homework and sports responsibility to handle. Lunch is pretty much the same except that I had a clue of where to sit this year. Classes seem to go by faster. Although we do have more homework, I give 100% effort. 1st quarter was mostly easy. I received good grades and did all of my homework. I like LA extra credit and the 3% added to my science grade. I have good friends, great teachers, and I’m having fun. It is sometimes scary to think that I will be driving in less than 3 years! The goals that we created are going good. I am nailing the grades and no ACE parts. The 8th grade is very different

My first day in middle school didn’t seem that much different than elementary school only thing that was different was that we switched classes but we had our teachers telling us where to go for our next classes so it wasn’t hard. On like the third day of middle school I was very confused because we had all the big 7th and 8th graders there and the teachers weren’t helping us and telling bus where to go anymore so I would be late to class and my teachers would be mad. It was hard for me to transition to having several teachers instead of one because all of my teachers were very different we had some teachers that were cool and then we had some strict teachers. The work didn’t get much harder math did but not any other subjects, math was very difficult

The first thing about me that changed the most is my maturity level. Obviously as you get older you are going to mature, but there is definitely a big change from being in 5th grade to being in 6th grade. There is no recess or staying put in a single classroom all day. It takes a certain maturity level to be able to handle moving from class to class and dealing with all the teachers. Another thing about getting older is growing. You don’t want to send an eleven year old off to high school with a bunch of teenagers. Middle school has also helped me prepare for high school because of many things. Changing classes, having lunch with other grades, and being able to take classes that I actually want to take are just a few. Maturity of course goes hand in hand with responsibility, another thing these past few years have taught me.

The fifth grade school year ended very quickly, Mrs.Cullen retired, and my classmates and I moved on to the next chapter of our lifes, sixth grade. As the next school year arrived, I went about sixth grade the same way I had started about fifth grade, I had a ton of friends in my class, and I thought that sixth grade would be a walk in the park. My advisor was Mr.Ferry, and having to write about 1000 times I will not disrupt class, I finally began to approach sixth grade in a different way. In sixth grade I learned the importance of mindfulness, and doing what I loved from

My 7th grade year was much easier because I was used to being in the school with the big kids. Sports weren’t the same as they were in 6th grade. I didn’t get playing time because the 8th and 9th graders. It wasn’t too much fun playing with 8th and 9th graders. The work was still easy except for science I never understood it. It caused me to have a d in science. My 8th grade year was not so bad. I got better at sports and got a little bit of playing time. My grade in science still was bad. I got in trouble in my English class because we had had Ipads and figured out how to text on it. Kids in my class and I were texting each other on it and the other kids started putting bad stuff so I pretended that I was our

In 2015 when i was in 5th grade i changed schools to lafayette parish school and the food was BAD.And the kids were mean well alot of them.The wait for our parents and the long line of cars,and they made us pay alot of money.So we moved to scott middle and i liked it some of my friends were there and the gym was fun the food was good unlike the other school.But it changed my life because i used to be like a little trouble maker well not that much but until i came here i was not so much trouble.I was happy and i loved the teachers and it made a change in my life i dont really like the teachers that much over here i love them,and the work may be hard,but i know it no matter how hard it is i will get

I learned to be far more independent when I switched from attending elementary school to middle school. I was expected to do many new things on my own such as keeping track of assignments. It was our responsibility to fill out our planners everyday without being told and without having them checked. This

After sitting at the same desk for three years, I figured I was beyond seeing anything new. I was wrong. After that third year I saw a lot more than I thought I would. I went up to high school and everything was so much different. The grades were harder, the assignments were harder and the teachers were harder.

In 6th grade you have to keep up with more stuff. You have to keep up with many papers through many classes. If you lose a paper you will not be able to keep up with the class. If you leave something in your locker you may have to get a tardy or use a pass. You cannot leave homework in locker because it would not be completed the next day. You would also be more responsible for more

Last year, I was shy of speaking English because I didn’t know a lot. I was afraid that the people would laugh about me If I said something wrong. But the last day of school, my English ESL (English Second Language) told me, “Saul, come”, so I went, “I just wanted to tell you that you have developed your English a lot, and next year you are not going to be in the ESL program anymore, I don’t want you to be afraid of talking English. Good luck.” I thought she was right, so this year I’m not scared of talking English anymore.

Things was completely different but the same. The work was harder and different from the work I had in middle school even the teachers I had was also different as well. My transition going into high school was different. It happened to be a different type of scenery and I didn’t expect for that to happen to me at that time. Being a freshman opened up a whole different world for me that I wasn’t really ready for. Going into highschool, I had friends I thought I would be friends with for my entire life. As soon as I got to high school things started to change. On top of the friends I had I also made new friends as well. When I was a freshman I had to look up to the upperclassmen to guide me and to lead me by example. When I was a freshman, it meant I had to be on my P’s and Q’s. I felt a lot of pressure when I was a freshman especially from teachers. Fitting in while I was a freshman wasn’t a good start for me because I wasn’t really involved into any school activities or

The only year in elementary school I enjoyed was fifth grade. This school year was full of encouragement and kindness from my teachers. Their constant motivation and kind words gave me the confidence to improve my grades in school and interact more with my classmates. After fifth grade, my entire class and I left our old school, and relocated to the middle school. This change was not the easiest for me either. While elementary school was a tame and controlled environment, middle school gave students more freedom and was less strict on students.

Throughout the years you would never figure out how a kid would end up growing up to be. You don’t know if they are going to be good or bad but you always hope for the best, you never want them to get bullied or feel any pain. All you want is happiness for your kid and no worries. Nobody’s life is a fairytale and many people from reality shows lifes aren’t the real ones they put up with on a daily basis a but let me take you through my journey.

My first year of junior high school was something I will never forget. My parents never really had to attend parent-teacher conferences for me, nor did they have to worry whether or not I was having trouble in school. All my report cards came home with excellent grades and conduct to go along with them. This is how the first 5 years of school went for me. When I entered the sixth grade, things changed drastically. Not only was I attending a school where my nationality was the
