...PT:1 My first day at middle school was good and bad. I remember in the morning before going to school, I was trying to get ready and when I was trying to go to the bathroom I stepped on a pack of earring with the back facing upwards. I was very mad but I tried to put a smile on my face because I didn’t want the rest of my day to be bad. Later on, in school my feet was hurting badly and I wanted to go home put I knew I wanted to stick it out. I was immature in 6th grade but I grew up in 7th and 8th because I knew middle school was not fun and games anymore. I became more quieter and I was just observing people around me. The work was hard for me to keep up because I had seven different classes and it was different from having three. I hated...

...Middle school, a time of your life where you learn all of your basic needs. You make new friends with new the kid and older friends with the older kids. As soon as we all got into this school, we were probably all scared for our lives. We were the guppies of the school. Everyone else… you ask., big, scary, GREAT WHITE SHARKS… We would enter the wrong classrooms, see eighth graders, (aka great white sharks) and try to be friendly, we would start yelling at our lockers when we’ve put in the combination for the 77th time and hear the bells go off. Who even knew what bell was ringing back then? We just knew the bells in our classrooms. I’ve learned so much from today and back then. We started working together to get to class, make it there on time, and open our lockers correctly the first time....

...Middle school is a crazy time for everyone. Throughout all the changes middle school brings, I was lucky to get through with pretty much only positive memories. I had wonderful friends, who made every day a blast. I loved language arts, because both years I had the absolute best teachers. During middle school, I was involved in cross-country, basketball, and track. These sports brought me such amazing memories, and were probably the highlight of my middle school days. My favorite memory, however, is from a trip to Des-Moines for basketball. During my seventh grade season, one of our basketball games got cancelled, so our coach decided to reschedule us a game. Somehow, he ended up getting in contact with the Johnston coach, and they set up a time to play. This was a big deal for us because we were used to only playing schools around the North Iowa area, so we were pumped to get to play a new school. Coach...

...When I was first transferred to the middle school, I had this uneasiness in my stomach. Being a little shy girl wasn’t easy either, and I had a lot of doubts. I didn’t know what to expect. It was a whole separate building too, and I had a feeling I was going to get lost about 5,000 times that day. Even at orientation - I was shaking out of my mind. I wasn’t new, I knew all of my classmates, I still was just scared straight. That first day of school wasn’t what at all I imagined, all I could tell is that all the 7th graders at the time were probably annoyed because I was lost. On the first day of school, I was nervous, shyer than ever, and ignorant. The thing that probably helped me the most for that year was when...

...happened. Middle school is an awkward and embarrassing time for many people, including myself. Extreme changes are seen in yourself and the people around you. I was made particularly aware of one of my changes, that being acne. It happened fast, and I didn't necessarily know how to react to it, so I didn't. The reactions came from my fellow classmates, the "get some proactive" and other hateful comments began to start. Each comment feeding an insecurity...

...It was a rosy morning when it all happened. I had woken up, taken a shower, and arranged my uniform in the order I'd dress to. Swooping the royal colored polo over my head was a first. The allure of going to middle school, period, was a first. I was flustered, excited, terrified, anxious; I was ready. Ready to make the best mistake I’ve reconciled. (still deciding between reconcile, undergone, or "I've ever made" meh) The journey of 7th grade happened slowly, then all at once. Settling into the new environment became unbearably comfortable; the 45-minute classes transformed into a staring contest with the clock that welcomed the dismissal bell. The constant urge to leave school and hardly get any work done developed into a routine where failure was encompassed - I still (barely) passed my classes, but this was only an overture to what was soon to come. Year 2:...

...From middle school to high school a lot of people experience immense changes in themselves. For me transitioning into high school was one of the biggest changes I have ever experienced. At first, this change was scary but once I realized the positive impact it would have on me personally, I was more open to the ideas. This change gave me many new skills and experiences that I could never have experienced in middle school. My move from middle school to high school has changed my personality, interests, and standards for academics. P1: Being placed in a new unfamiliar environment has made me more social and has improved my attitude towards life. My middle school years were the worst years of my life. This had to do with the fact that I switched...

...Memoir “Welcome to 6th grade!” where the first words I heard when walking into my first day of school at Sunrise Middle School. Once I walked inside, I didn't exactly feel a connection with anyone in my classroom and didn’t know anyone there. I was dressed in a new uniform and felt as if I was a different and improved person. This class wasn’t going to have me for long though. I was still part of the Parrots, but just moved to the other classroom to a teacher who knew me. She was my brother’s old teacher and now she became mine. The first week turned out to go by really quick. The next week was when it started to go down. It was the point where the school year got serious and took a new turn on me. I hadn’t done work like this in Elementary...

...In this chapter, will be talking about my experiences in junior high. It was a big and exciting change for me to move to the middle school wing of the school. I was really excited about having six different teachers opposed to only one for the whole day. I was extremely excited for my first day of junior high. The night before, I had laid out my uniform and got all my school supplies ready. I woke up at 6:00 am, ready for my first day of school. I went to the kitchen, and made my breakfast. Then I realized that my parents werent home. At that time my mom was pregnant with my little brother, so it crossed my mind a few times that she could be having the baby. Because I didn't have a phone at that time, I had to email my parents asking them where they were. My dad drove...

...Well we have finally done it. As we sit here today our middle school careers are coming to a close right before us. The next journey of our life is starting.looking back on the past three years, I feel confident that we are definitely prepared for facing whatever challenges or absences we may face during our time in high school. Middle school was no doubt a tough journey. In 6th grade, iIt was scary talking to people you have never seen before,. walking halls you have never been, or going to new classes on taking risks. And, knowing that youu were going to be in 8th grade one day. 7th grade was the year of learning, and growing and . Llearning that homework is harder. Learning how to find yourself amongst your friends . Learning how to be more confident to not be scared. Finally , how to be a leader. Our 8th grade year began with the subtle realization that we were now the upperclassmen, the leaders, of [this school] and concluded with the development of new goals and ambitions for our first year of high school....

...During my middle school, it appeared as if I were hiding behind a mask. When I was at home I was a diverse self who was confident and had an attitude. Whereas on the other hand, at school, I was trying to be someone who can fit in, but it seemed like the more I attempted the more it didn’t work. The only way I thought I could achieve friendship was by lying about my history. Humans are inescapable to lie at some point in their life. Although I didn’t know that my lies were going to only haunt me back at some point and eventually change me into a different person. I was twelve years old when I moved to the United States from India. Everything was different such as the people, the surrounding, but mostly the accent. For the first six months...

...The highlights of my middle school experience would be sports. I really enjoy all the sports I play including football, basketball, track, and baseball. I have created so many great memories with all of my friends thanks to these sports. Another great experience from my middle school career would definitely be going to Hagge Park. I loved hiking the trails and seeing nature with hanging out with all my friends as a celebration for completing the school year. You not only get to hang out you play and get a little sense of freedom while you are there. Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time I have is to go boating. I love tubing and wakeboarding. I also enjoy hanging out with my family and my dog Daisy. In 15 years I predict that 15...

...My biggest obstacles in middle school were; not being be able to socialize with the teachers and students and not being able to pay attention during class. I'm a shy person by nature so I wasn't able to make many friends or talk to the teachers much. This was one of my biggest obstacles because whenever I needed something from the teachers or a friend I was always a little bit scared and sometimes didn't do it and it resulted in me getting homework wrong. My second biggest obstacle was not being able to pay attention in class, I wasn't able to pay attention in class because I sat next to all my friends and that hindered my test grades a lot. Some helpful skills and knowledge that I gained while I was in middle school was problem solving and...

...This is when I went to my first day in middle school. I was so scared that didn’t even want to go to school. When we got school we went to the cafeteria. The principal assign all our classes. First, I went to my 1st hour class. My 1st class was science. My science teacher’s name is Mrs. Hamblin. ’’Welcome to Beer Middle School,’’ our teacher said with excitement , ’’in this class we are going to do fun experiment.’’ Mrs. Hamblin started to assign seats. I had no problem with I will I be sitting. Next, until 1st hour was finished we went to our 2nd hour. I was confused where I was going. I really did not see all my classes. So, I asked some of the other teachers for help. ’’Excuse me, at any chance do you know where room 208 is?’’ I asked politely. ’’Go down, turn, keep on walking forward, and turn at the end to the left.’’ The teacher replied. It was so weird of all the twist and turns. Then, I finally found the room. I went in my next class, which is S.S. (Social Studies)....

...My Journey Through Middle School Everyone attends middle school and everyone promotes from middle school. Some people learn many lessons during this two year period, while others not as many. However, for me these two years at Thomas Russell Middle School have been a life-changing experience. I have learned many skills and life lessons from my teachers, peers, and other staff members at Thomas Russell. I have also tried to make the school environment better for my peers. Kindness. This is a very big word that people take for granted and do not respect as much as they should. I really admire this word. Over these two years I have shown kindness in many ways. One way that I have shown kindness is by appreciating people continuously. I have shown appreciation n by writing praise notes to classmates as well as to teachers. I have tried to be “a knight in shining armor,” someone who tries her best to help her friends and classmates in difficult situations. Moreover, I have always tried to help teachers and classmates in any way possible. Another trait I have used in these two years is hard work. I have never let my teachers, peers, or school staff members down. I always try my best and try to get my assignments done ahead of time. Not only do I try in studies and homework, but I also work very hard to make everyone happy. One key...
