Identity is a complex ideal that everyone struggles with. Consequently, people often will not act as who they are due to a fear of being ridiculed. To me this is such a ridiculous time waster, instead this time people waste on being someone else could be used for much more meaningful memories. Society makes people feel like they have to fit a mold, yet I personally have learned from my dad that it is a necessity of life to accept who you are. Middle school was an awkward time for everyone, in fact, it was like a popularity contest that no one could win. Honestly, it sucked. Typically I would go through a day of school and receive countless eye rolls whenever I said or did anything out of the status, or if I fell in the hallways people would laugh, not help. I was positively obsessed with trying to fit in, so much …show more content…
What I did not realize was that my worrying was actually anxiety. I used my time in middle school to discover who I was, I also used middle school to have some of my most humiliating moments. But, these moments were where I realized something truly important. For me, this humiliating moment occurred at my seventh-grade track meet. Crazily, I decided that my sloth-like reflexes and terrible athletic ability meant that I should attempt the hurdles. When the day of the track meet came around I was desperately praying that I would succeed. I remember that my heart was beating like a hammer hitting a nail and my palms seemed to be drenched in sweat as I awaited the sound of the gun to push me off the blocks. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity
book after book. All titled Middle school, the worst years of my life, how I survived middle school, middle school get me out of here,and the list goes on . As I was nearing the end of fifth grade, I started seriously thinking about how middle school would be and got worried after hearing of so many stories of people's terrible middle school years. However, I have to admit it really hasn’t been all that bad these last three years and in fact, middle school may have been my favorite, compared to elementary school. With more freedom, more people, more homework, more activities, more teachers, more fun classes, more excitement, more everything quite frankly, I have been able to have . I am sure a lot of us have fun throughout these middle school while learning more about yourselves and the people around us each year. I am sure many of us have been able to say for sure that we have had many experiences that can prepare us for the future.
It did not take very long for me to realize that middle school really wasn’t all that bad, there were many aspects that I actually liked more. For me, not wearing uniforms was a big deal, although it rarely strayed from jeans or khaki shorts, being able to wear what I wanted gave me a sense of freedom. On top of this, passing periods gave me the opportunity to roam the halls and talk
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
Not all of middle school was good though because during this time is when I realized how
When I was little I thought middle school was scary and hard, but thinking about that topic I’ve come across some interesting things. Including being able to stay up till 12:00 on the week, having wonderful teachers makes 7th grade fun, and for some reasons my parents care about me more than ever which is actually pretty good. Hopefully the verge to become an adult is fun and I’m already playing 18+ video games.
Middle school had been a pretty important time in my life, adapting to my parents divorce, and beginning to become as independent
Middle school was a drastic change in my life. In elementary school I didn't have to worry about wearing makeup or what I wore but once I entered middle school, it all changed. The classes became harder, the testing became more frequent, the teachers started to care less, and having to change classes every hour and a half was very confusing.
I had already had a stressful middle school from other things that were going on in my life. So I didn’t want to start it off like that again, so I tried my best to do everything different from my 8th grade year. Even though 8th grade was probably
At the age of 14, I moved from Atlanta to Las Vegas, then to Los Angeles. Atlanta was the place I grew up in, the place where I developed my personal identity, the place where I established lasting relationships, and the place I never wanted to leave. During my move, I lost every aspect that defined who I was as I my new peers shunned and isolated me due to by my “distinct lifestyle and characteristics In comparison to my brothers, I was never given the opportunity to receive the “typical” high school experience that is often seen on movies, as I was often alienated in my new setting. I attended two different high schools in two different states, allowing me never to fully establish long-lasting relationships that my mother and my brothers attained during their high school
Going back to middle school, everything was easy, from balancing a social life and school life, to testing and preparing for my future education in high school. I had time to manage my success in school and still have time to go out every day at five o’clock to ride my bike and go to the local elementary school down the street to play games like hide-n-seek and freeze tag with all the neighborhood kids. I remember going out with my brothers and sisters to the park down the street to play groudsies, a game where you have to close your eyes while everyone else is on the playground set and whenever you thought someone was on the ground you would have to yell “GROUNDSIES!”, and I was it and my brother was supposed to tell me before I ran into something
Middle school was a major change for me; new friends, new educators, new schedule. I went to Edison and it has been stunning, I was prepared to begin the year off huge. Amid my
The word identity is normally associated with race, religious beliefs and looks, however, I believe identity is much deeper than that and can only be seen by its beholder. It is a person's inner passions or interests, who they are inside.The topic of identity made me think deeply about who I am and what I value; how others may perceive me as.One hard thing about this exercise was deciding wheater or not to include religion as a part of my identity, and in the end my religion did not define me enough to include it in my identity. At about eight o’clock at night when I was stuck on the topic of identity and who I was, I realised that it was not my race, religion, or looks that shaped me personally
All things considered, I do consider myself today, to have a strong sense of self, and understanding of my own personal identity. The phases and circumstances of my adolescent years shaped me to be the strong independent woman I am today, but withstanding this journey, there were some aspects of my identity that I had considerable struggles with. As stated in earlier passages, my internal struggle with my intellectual self was a difficult and long battle, and although today I sit here writing a paper for a graduate school course (something 6 years ago was not an option) I still struggle with the drive to make right my academic failure of my past. Like my academic struggles, another internal identity conflict I tussled with for a very long was my racial and ethnic identity.
There are very different emotions and parts that make you who you are.Things that make me up are, I’m very active and athletic. I’m not the most social person but I enjoy
Middle School is known to be the awkward period for every teen. Everything deteriorated when I started Middle School. This was the second instance in my life where I was forced to meet new people. Unlike my initial
