The Transition between Middle School and High School

Transitioning from middle school to high school now college. Hardships and victories I have experienced it all. I have gone from the shy student to one of the most involved and active student in my school.

Middle school to high school is a big jump from not only school to school but also new people coming into our school, harder academics, sports are now a part of your school life, and a jump from school to school. My thoughts on high school have really changed over the past few weeks. When I first realized that we we're going to be in high school shortly, I got a little freaked out. Although I know alot of high schoolers and specific people that go to West I still feel overwhelmed by the fact that i'm going from a 600 person school to a 1,200+ person school. For the longest time I felt if high school would be the hardest part of my life and getting accustomed to the new setting would be hard for me, I thought the people there we're mean and

Middle school is a period of transition for adolescents. Students are no longer the children were once were in elementary school; they are beginning to mature into the adults they will need to become. Gifted learners at the middle-school level face the same developmental and tasks tasks and challenges that their peers do. Yet, gifted learners also possess traits that are different from their peers, which often make them misunderstood or ignored. The need for teachers to identify these students and differentiate instruction in a way that addresses the needs of the gifted students in the classroom is becoming more crucial than ever.

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle school.

Walking into school on my first day of high school, I felt out of place. My face covered in acne, my teeth covered in braces, and the callicks in my hair stuck up through the abnormally thick layer of hair gel that coated them. My middle school social anxiety still ruled over me as I could barely speak with any member of the opposite sex. Yet, I still had an odd confidence about me. I had always been one of the best students in my class, even without ever studying for a test. I viewed high school as a slight uptick from the curriculum I had easily passed in middle school. I was wrong. High school exists as a microcosm of society, in which I originally failed to acclimate myself to the challenges posed to me in a setting of increased

Transitioning from the middle school to the high school is a big change for a student. When we moved to the high school, we thought freshman Friday's would be all year and that it would be very difficult to find our classes. However, freshman Friday's only last the first couple weeks, and there are lots of link leaders to help the freshies find their classes. School is a big deal here in the high school. 8th graders should follow our tips if they want to be successful in the high school.

I was the exact same way during school! I wouldn't raise my hand to answer questions when I knew I was right either. I was extremely nervous going into middle school during the 7th grade, so I could only imagine how it was for you going to a middle school that began in the 5th grade. It's even worse when teachers are constantly reminding you about how different middle school is going to be from elementary school. They think they're trying to help by giving constant reminders, but it really only helps cause more worry about transitioning. Your middle school's no hugging policy seems so out of place in an environment where students socialize and meet new people. However, I'm glad you were able to enjoy your high school after your difficult middle

Growing up in a city like Reading is not easy on any child, especially when you are the minority. This city is composed of 87,893 people, and of these people only twenty nine percent of them are Caucasian. Over half of the people living in our city are Hispanic, making up fifty nine percent of the population. Being part of the twenty nine percent can make a child feel different or left out while they are growing up. Children strive to make friends and to fit in with other kids their age. In my case it was not always the easiest because of a cultural barrier, or even a language barrier. Starting school is a scary for everyone, everyone fears the unknown. But when you enter school into a classroom full of people unlike yourself, is when the nerves really set in.

Starting middle school changed how I felt about being a preteen almost being an adult. When I was in sixth grade at the middle school,I didn’t have any confidence about being in a huge school. I was frightened about anything that could of went wrong.

Transitioning has always been a difficult for me. My freshmen year of high school experiences varied from disappointment, to complete chaos. Freshmen year of high school is tough, you worked yourself to the top to be placed in the bottom again. Not to mention middle school and high school are two different types of environments. I was aware that they were two different types of environments, so when my middle school offered a summer course at Carl Hayden High School I took the opportunity to help me adjust. The course was a reading comprehension class, I did not need help with my reading comprehension but took it to get a feel of how high school would be. Judging high school by one course was ignorant of me to do. From that short experience

An additional life changing experience such as a school transition can cause more distress in the students’ lives (Blythe et al., 1983; Gonzales et al., 2004). Low income underrepresented students are two times as likely in reading, and three times in mathematics, to underachieve when compared to their wealthier peers (National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2005). Researchers have shown that these students’ academic achievement in reading and mathematics declined after transitioning to middle school (Alspaugh & Harting, 1995; Midgley et al., 2002). Ultimately, transitioning from elementary to middle school can result in negative academic and societal outcomes for low income disadvantaged students during and beyond middle school if

Everybody has their breaking points. At a young age I was forced to endure mine; only to find that there wasn’t much of a break, but more of a point. With puberty, came a variety of changes: physically, mentally, and perspectivally. As a child, sexual abuse is not fathomable for many, and in most cases, are utterly traumatizing. Entering middle school in the midst of the abuse brought countless days and nights dedicated to realizing the situation that I was in was, indeed, perpetually toxic and morally wrong. Although this was a traumatic experience, I chose, with great pride, to discuss my knowledge that I acquired during this time.

I worked at Fairview gardens in Sauk Rapids until they closed for the year and i will continue working there after school ends. Fairview Gardens is a floral nursery and at my time working there I learned allot about plants and enjoy gardening during some of my freetime. Something interesting about me is that i'm a vegetarian, i've been a vegetarian for half a year now. I also enjoy volunteering at the saint cloud hospital during summers. Working there taught me how to be mindful of others, good work ethic and many more.

In 2016 I started middle school. It was a large change i was lucky to go to a school in the country. The main things that middle school changes are school changes your mental and emotional state changes, along with most of your friends. I will explain how to help you get through middle school The time of changes and advancements. you go from a kid to beginning your journey to adulthood and the long life after.

Growing up my parents would often call me a trendsetter, didn't always know what they meant by that, but I didn't notice other kids copying what I would wear. I didn't realize until high school this was really a complement and that fashion was something I had an eye for. Academic in high school never came easy to me because I'm very visual, so I knew I wanted to pursue something visual/artistic and fashion oriented. I had the privilege of attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and graduating with an AA in visual communications. Going to school in the city provided me with lots of challenges, especially since I also was working part time and commuting up to the city. But, more importantly, going to school in San Francisco
