Reflection On Welcome To The 8th Grade Student Led Conference

Families and friends welcome to Montgomery Village Middle School 8th grade promotional ceremony. Today we embark on a new chapter of our lives as we end our middle school careers. We’ve spent the past three years of our lives in this wonderful place. We were given the opportunity to grow and learn. Our teachers, one of our biggest supporters, the ones we have built relationships with. Our teachers have seen us grow. They have been our guiding hands throughout our middle school career. The teachers in this school deserve the world. They motivate us each and every one of us each day. Most of us were able to mature throughout middle careers. We’ve grown aware of our surroundings. We’re all well aware of what’s to come as we open the next chapter

Coming into eighth grade can be exciting, scary and stressful at times you just need to learn how to deal with it. During this year you will meet some very nice teachers that will ask a lot out of you and push you to your limits for later on in life. This is also a good year to learn who your true friends are and find new ones.This year will also test your ability to get along and listen clearly to teachers and peers, because they all may have something that can lift you up and make your load easier. I will be giving you some tips about some teachers and the work ethic needed to survive junior high. I will also give you some tips to not so overwhelmed.

I think the most challenging courses I took this year was AP Lang but not because of the work or reading but because I did not give me 100% in that class. I think that is something I did wrong and I should have changed that as fast as I could. My grade could have been better in that class then what I got both semesters. The expectations I wanted to meet did not end up that way and actually ended bad for me which I regret. Some of the strengths I discovered this year was being able to ask questions and participate in class without being embarrassed and also talk to my teachers individually which was something that was really hard for me freshman and sophomore year. There are some assignment that I am really proud of and other that I think I

The strengths that I have gained this semester in psychology are: assertion, leadership, and time management. At the beginning of the semester my assertion level was in the develop stage. I was not able to clearly communicate my thoughts to others in an effective way that promoted a better understanding of my feelings. I am typically a shy individual when I am introduced to people I have never met I am not able to properly communicate with them. After improving on this skill level; I am able to make conversation with people not only at school, but customers from my job. The second strength that I have gained from this class is being a leader. My leadership skills have definitely improved this semester. Before this semester I would stay to myself and follow the crowd, but now I have a major influence on my friends and coworkers. I have influenced my sister not to follow the crowd like I once have, but to be a leader and make a positive difference in our community. The last strength that I have developed over this past semester is time management. Time management was a big issue at the beginning of the semester. I was overwhelmed with all of my homework for each of my classes and going to work. I was completing all of my assignments at the last minute, but the third week I began to get a schedule to complete my homework before the due date. Overall, gaining strengths this semester will help me have a successful college experience and it will also give me skills in my future.

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

By the end of the year, I completed 6 of these classes and all together took 13 classes during the school year. I was finally back to where I was supposed to be with most of my credits back. I am registered in the system as a senior this year and taking my regular classes. It was definitely a tough year to get through, and it took all the determination and self-motivation I had. But I made it through and I am completely ready for what comes next in the future of my education. I believed these challenges I have faced have helped me to build a stronger determination and have inspired me more to be better self-motivated in my education. I think these characteristics will be a major asset when it comes to getting through the years of college I have ahead of me. I have always been very passionate about school in general and cannot wait to see what college and the rest of my future have in store for

The biggest challenge I had to overcome this semester was learning to adapt to the late night study sessions and bounteous hours of writing. As well as having to make a series of personal adjustments and sacrifices in order to attend my classes. However I think that this is a challenge in which I will not have to struggle much next semester, being that I have already began to adjust and get adapt to these late hours, and long days.

The two and a half months of summer ended and I was ready to start 8th grade. I was excited and I found out I was in the same pod with my best friend. I felt confident as I walked into room B5 and greeted Mr. Gill. The year started great and I knew my way to all my classes. I studied a lot more in 8th grade. Nearly every test I studied. And by the end of the marking period I had all A’s and B’s. I brought my lunch from home more often and I participate more in class.

I plan on ensuring that I will satisfy all future University Honors requirements by being more diligent about putting honors events into my calendar and making time for them. I believe that after this quarter I will not have the same problems because I know how to do my job and I am familiar with the course load now that I have taken my first quarter of organic chemistry, biology, and physics together. This quarter has also made me realize that I can benefit from attending counseling at Counseling and Psychological Services so that I can manage my stress better. It has also taught me that I need to be more adaptable with my approach to time management than I was in the past and that there is a better way to balance my life and achieve the grades

It's not as hard as it was during the first semester of this year, but it is still stressful. Algebra 2 has always been the hardest class I've had, and failing last semester really got to me. Social studies is alright, it's fun but there's a lot of work in that class. Leadership, is my fun class, were I have a lot of involvement and say in. I also have Physiology, which is alright, it's just chill. Expository writing is more better than Brit lit to me. I find it more fun and interesting. Just recently, it has been getting rough because of my lost of my grandmother. My family and I, had to prepare her funeral. Her funeral

Good morning to all the students, parents, and teachers that have joined us for today’s event. My name is Clark Dao and as you know, today is an unforgettable day for all of us because the 6th grade students here at Eastvale Elementary are now promoting to middle school. Our time here at Eastvale Elementary has been a long, memorable journey that has shaped us for the future, for whatever it may hold. These past years have given us many special and influential moments of our lives. We’ve all learned new things, made new friends, and had good times here. There may have been some rough times, but you were still able to get past them. Also, you should know that right now, your parents and teachers are very proud of you. They have high hopes for

In all honesty, my growth in academics have also reflected my perspective on the type of person that I want to be someday. For instance, throughout this entire year, I have progressed the type of person that I want to be in the near future and my ability to become an empowered learner has improved drastically. Knowing that my junior year is one of the most important years in high school, I have set high standards for myself and had applied self discipline on myself as well in order to maintain my path to success. With that being said, not only has self discipline and setting high standards for myself allow me to concentrate more this year, but it has also allowed me to develop a variety of interests and talents as well. Interests such as majoring in film and theater and also helping others have originated once I joined

Hello everyone and welcome to the promotion ceremony with the class of 2016! Today is a day to be happy, to be sad,and to be excited. We are about to go to the most terrifying and yet exciting places in the world High School! It’s the place most of us discover ourselves and who we truly want to be but to get there we had to go through a little thing called Middle School.

Throughout this semester I have learned an abundance of knowledge. I have learned a lot about assignments and things that I can do better to benefit me.One thing I have learned I need to improve is my ability to follow directions. Another thing I have learned I can work on is my ability to plan out the task I have at hand. The third aspect I have learned that I need to improve my abilities on is my researching skills. There is never a point where you can't improve something.

Student-Led Conferences (SLC’s); the controversial new strategy implemented at cross this year. It is designed to be a three way conversation between a student, their guardian, and an advisor. The purpose is to facilitate healthy conversations between the guardian and the student so that the student can elaborate on their performance in a controlled setting. The advisor acts as a mediator who translates the opposite views. For example, the advisor can help the parent understand that a certain test can be redone and the grade will go up after that is taken. They can also help the student understand that their grandma is only strict with grades so that their lives can be easier with a good education. It is a chance for parents and students to get involved in the school and helps create a plan to improve the student's performance.
