Throughout elementary school, class was always too easy for me. I could talk in class, goof around, pay zero attention, and still get great grades. My parents never knew that I was a terrible student with great grades. Unfortunately, these habits stuck with me through the majority of middle school. It got me by until my freshman year. When I faced personal struggles mixed with poor academic choices, I set myself up for failure. Not only am I completely embarrassed by this, but I can't hide it. This slip of paper that haunts me through this entire admission process. My high school transcript. I shelter it from my friends when handed out in full class meetings, I rip it up as soon as I get it in the mail before my parents can see, I've even lied
It is a good idea to provide a separate school experience for middle school from the high school, because putting both middle school and high school in the same building will have a negative experience for middle school students in many aspects. Noticeably, the high school students and middle school students sharing the hallway is a bit destructive in some aspects of behaviors.
You have to be really careful because here in middle school you can get write ups really easy and tardies.
Each year schools of 25 teachers would use about 62,500 pieces of paper. The amount of paper you use each day depends on the class you have. It also depends on the teacher of the class. Schools of more than 25 teachers would use more paper. It also depends how many students are in each class, and in the school overall. I think you use more paper in high school than you do in middle school. There are three other ways high school is different than middle school.
Most schools in America have year-round school, because they have never bothered to try anything new or to afraid weather it will improve or harm the current schools GPA. The problem that most schools have is changing the calendar and arranging the times when there out or school: but if they would take the time to edit the calendar they would get all the benefits of having year round school.
Some people argue that summer break is too long so there should be year round schools. A summer break after the school year helps out students by relieving stress, and setting new goals.
Ever since kindergarten, I've been a really great student. I went to Glider Elementary for kindergarten to sixth grade. At Glider I always achieved principal's list or Academic Excellence, which was an award for achieving a 3.8 Gpa or higher. As a student, I was never a big talker in class and always got my work done quick. For middle school, I wanted to transfer to Herman, but I ended up at Davis instead. In the beginning of the year I was really bitter about being enrolled at Davis, but by the second day of school I made a lot of new friends. Throughout seventh grade, the classes were very easy, and I achieved a 3.8 Gpa! Once eight grade year began, I had a bunch of friends already, and got enrolled in classes with really awesome teachers.
During my eighth grade year in middle school I had one of the magnificent teachers ever, Mr. Gendron. He's was my Avid and a math teacher. He would also teach everyone what was right and wrong. Teaching everyone what they can do to succeed, asking if they needed someone to talk to, he was as a counselor to me. Whenever he would see someone changing their way to be he would know something was going on, it was as he had superpowers. He believed that we could work hard enough to succeed. He had hope on us whatsoever. Failing wasn't an option for us, he would try his best to make us understand the lesson. Making us learn each problem step-by-step. Many significant memories in my eighth grade year, but the special ones are with Mr.
Middle school is a big turning point in most students’ maturity, I believe. Especially 8th Grade, as you are finally leaving the Middle School building, and going on to High School with the mindset that you are almost an adult. Along the way, you learn to cope with many things, whether they be accomplishments or losses. In this entry, I am going to discuss what I did, as well as some thoughts on leaving 8th Grade.
For about four years, I have worked very very very hard on my grades that I’ve earn every semester. I had all A’s , B’s and three C’s and that’s okay. Hopefully I will work extremely hard in the next few more months on my senior year to come before I graduate high school. I got a 3.6 right now but I am praying that I could get at least a 3.8 or a 4.0! At the end of the year. Keeping up with my grades has been stressing, and struggling for me as well. Because it’s high school. It’s very important for me to stay focused on my school work so I could get a better education in order to get into a higher colleges. I’m not here to fail! I have never failed in my whole life cause that’s not who I’m am at all. I’m smart, independent,
Going into the classes, I thought I could do what I had done in my previous high school classes, but little did I know at the time, that that would not work and I eventually had to re-position myself in the midst of this trial. Being that I was not as focused from the start of one of my classes, my grade slipped, and I was unable to bring it back up by the end of the first semester. I was devastated and I attempted to put all the blame on my professor, but in reality, I was to blame. I did not properly take responsibility for my role in the problem, because I tried to convince myself that I put forth my best effort, when I truly didn’t. The feeling of defeat took me over, as in I knew the possibility of me leaving the early college program were high. Fortunately, the principal granted me and others the opportunity to prove ourselves and get better grades the following semester. I was grateful for the challenge, but was stressed from the pressure I felt from family and administrative officials at the time. Instead of
Many students worry about how their middle school years will go. Middle school is a very important part of a student’s education. Middle school is their initiation into high school and could really impact their future. Many elementary school students think that they are prepared and can do well in middle school, but many are not ready. Also, students who do not do well in middle school tend to not do well in high school. One lesson I would like to teach elementary school students is how to survive middle school, which is important because it will lead them to a better future by being prepared, managing time, and knowing how to problem solve.
In all, I feel that my academic record is an adequate reflection of me as a person. My hardworking and overachieving nature is depicted in my advanced placement courses and ability to stay in the top 10% in a small and academically competitive school. I’ve only made 3 B’s in the entirety of my high school career and ranked in 96th nationally representative sample percentile on my first time taking the SAT. However, there is one blemish on my record which I am not proud to claim, my C grade in the UT Austin Onramps Pre-Calculus class. I do not want to make excuses but want to explain this grade which is not at all in line with who I am as a student. I am diagnosed with ADHD and I take medicine to help but the Onramps class was only offered
It all started in 7th grade, my amazing straight A average was slowly starting to slip and nevertheless, it became a B average which is almost makes you a disgrace to my parents. I felt so guilty because I had been lying to my family for the whole entire year. One late afternoon, my dear mother questioned me, “ Let me see your grades,” she asked. I heard this and my heart sunk completely I was so frightened. I tried to change the subject , but it wouldn’t work. They figured out a month before the trimester ended, from that day on, for the rest of the year. I was forced
Throughout my entire high-school career, members of the prestigious National Honors Society were always fellow peers that were looked up to. The limitless opportunities provided by the society are incredibly intriguing and beneficial to society. Past (and current) members are positive role models and leaders, taking healthy risks to profit their communities while remaining utterly selfless. Throughout my high school career I have aimed to fit these standards while also staying true to my own morals.
A prep school is a place for students to learn, grow, and practice skills that will help them be successful later in life. They offer different possibilities for students, that other schools often cannot or do not have available. While public schools are where the majority of students go, due to a variety of factors, prep schools are frequently more beneficial than public schools. Prep schools have better facilities and higher success rates, and are therefore superior to public schools, despite what Holden experiences.
