Junior High Ah, Junior High. Those awkward years between sixth and ninth grade when I had no earthly idea what to do with myself. I remember them well. I had to get used to being in a school that wasn’t an elementary school, the way older kids were acting, and how things were in my new school. For seventh grade, I lived in Phoenix. It was an odd experience because I was used to being in an elementary school with grades one through six, but the middle school I went to was only for grades seven through eight. Even though it only had two grades, the school was packed. And it was a pretty large school. I remember hearing that there were about one thousand four hundred students enrolled at the school. That number might stagger other kids, but I was used to being in big schools like that. The weird part was the large number of other kids my age. From about sixty to around six hundred was quite a jump to make after only a summer break. …show more content…
That isn’t to say they were all sarcastic and took every chance they could to cause problems but they were more mature. In elementary, it was all fun and games but being in middle school was a little more serious to me. The other students took their homework more seriously and tried harder not to be absent. It was quite a shock from wanting to miss every day I could. Everything seemed to have a deeper meaning at that time as well, especially friendships. I almost feel we treasured them more then than es do in high school. Everyone wanted to have that group of friends like in those movies about the perfect high school and the jocks etc. etc. Of course, we still acted like elementary students in our free time but class time was just that. Class
I attended Heritage Middle School in East Cleveland. There were kids coming from everywhere: Superior Elementary, Caledonia Elementary, Chambers Elementary and Mayfair Elementary. I had came from Mayfair Elementary school. Middle school was definitely different from elementary school, there was a lot to get used to. The first day of school is always nervous to me, before I get to my class I’m wondering will I have the some of the people I had in elementary school. I was a little relieved to see some other the people I knew in my class. But the other faces I wasn’t familiar with . Switching class was hard to do at first do as time went on it got easy. Having more than one teacher was a huge adjustment for me because just two months before
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
My 9th grade year was a memory to never forget. 9th grade, i was new to the school just like the rest of the freshmen's i came into the school with, we were not really focused on the education we were more so focused on having fun and seeing different and older people and just experiencing the life of a high schooler. As bad as that may sound it was the truth but that was the year i meant my home boys Block, Tick and Jalen, i knew block and tick for some years already but i meant jalen when i got to high school and instantly we became close like brothers.
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
The transition from elementary into middle school was tough, in fact I did not do well the first semester of that year. During these school years was unbeliebable the amount of people I met, especially my best friend. We used to play soccer a lot and ride bicycle all day long. Unfotunally, within those cheerful years my brother came to the US, which at the time felt like the worst thing that could've happened to me.
Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.
Middle school was very fun though and it matured me a lot for high school I also learned a lot of things in middle school that have helped me in highschool I also still have some of my middle schools teachers now like Ms.Bowen that was my favorite teacher in middle school she was very cool. But that’s how my middle school years
Middle school was a rough time like it was for many because I still did not even know who I was yet. MIddle school was very difficult to adjust to at first because all my life I had only been in one class all day everyday with the same teacher and they made sure you always had a note to remind you of your homework for the night. Middle school was when I began to make my own choices and had to suffer the consequences that came with those choices. In middle school is when I found out how much I liked business because of a field trip my 6th grade year to Biztown which was a small fake “community” that everyone worked in and would be a citizen in the town.
The 4th grade year was a tough year for me. i was an a terrible student and i mean terrible never did my homework, no project, wasn't really in school most of the time and when i would be in class my head would be somewhere else.
In November, the air is cool and burns my face. The wind passes through my nose and it feels as if I am breathing in a thousand miniature razors. My finger tips and ears are numb. My right side aches where I had been elbowed in the ribs and my ankle from where I tripped just up the field. I hear my mom in the crowd, “Go, baby, go!” Even though, every muscle in my body screams for me to stop, I go. The pain does not bother me, neither does the cold. I am just happy to be here.
I do not remember a lot from grade school. I although I do remember the science fair, Girl Scouts, and my friends. The science fair was always one of the things that my mom was good at fourth grade year my project was "Music and your blood pressure." Then I won third place in the next round. Overall the science fair is one of my favorite memories. My whole family siting around the living room listening to me practice my speech. I had been signed up for gross out to soon as I was old enough. We started going to cancel little bit more of a mirror in fourth grade. I remember going on scavenger hunts are finding leaves to press. One time we took a overnight trip to the Omniplex We slept under the airplanes. After six grade I was no longer in
Considering third grade was about nine years ago, I can still remember what it was like clearly. I went to Roosevelt Elementary School throughout my elementary school years. Kindergarten through third grade was laid back and relaxing, unlike my following years. I remember when the only homework that we received was practicing how to write letters. It also felt fun to find new friends and look forward to school. Unlike, my high school years, when I walked into class in the mornings, I felt energized and ready to learn. Everyday I looked forward to seeing my teachers and having nap time. I was a very kind and cheerful person back than. I had many friends and made great memories that I will try to keep in my head for a long time.
High. In 6th grade I really did nothing expect meet great teachers that were great at their jobs. In 7th grade I tried Spanish but I didn’t like it I then tried art I was kind of good at it but not to good. So then in 8th grade I got to meet the best two teachers ever. I got to meet Mrs Consely who taught math the best way ever because she explained everything. I also got to meet Mr. Turner who was funny and nice.I also meet a friend named his name was Austin Donald. He helped me a lot and was funny, he even invited me to his house to a sleepover for his brithday. When summer break come Me and my family did a lot of stuff first me, my brothers and my Dad went camping at a ATV park. Then me and my family went to Michigan. We went to some roadside attractions. One of those roadside attractions were called Mystery Town USA. My family ever rented a boat but not a yacht like a pontoon boat and a jet ski. We even got eat out a hotdog restaurant called Wienerlicious, it was a great place to eat at. Then we finally got to see the Soo Locks which was canal that let big ships pass through. Then after that section of summer vacation. We got to see a stand-up comedian. Named Fluffy. It was hilarious. Then after summer break.I finally got to the high school which give me a lot of freedom more than I have ordinarily thought. Sadly I didn’t got to see my friends has much at school since high school started. So that the story of my life. To be
Those two years of middle school turned out to be better years for me. There were new people and made new friendly friends and got pretty close to some of them. Nobody bullied me nor the students I went to elementary school brought up the rumors anymore. I didn’t join the school’s basketball team. I got too shy and I didn’t think I would’ve made it because of my
We stayed in the same class and had the same teacher for the whole day. School started at 9 a.m. The grading system of the school was more learning-oriented. The school focused on the students having the right knowledge for them to move onto middle school. The school focused on the improvement of students and not just test scores and grades. This was very different compared to middle school, it was a big change. It went from having teachers who cared about the students to having teachers who didn’t, from learning material to just trying to memorize it, and from focusing on improving yourself to focusing on doing better than others.
