...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...

...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:...

...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...

...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...

...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...

...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...

...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...

...about to leave middle school and start the mystical world of high school. After fantasizing about my future, I decided to take a peek at the audience that awaited us and munch on my valedictorian exclusive muffin. To my surprise, the place was packed with many different faces that looked very content of to arrive here. I noticed how many parents were proud their children were graduating from middle school. Right at the time when I got tired of observing the parents, the valedictorian coordinators came and told us to get into our positions to sit on the stage. Before a minute or two from the start, my comrades and I gave each other high fives and words of good luck. After...

...During middle school I had the same friends through all three years,but when some of my friends weren’t in my class I had to make new friends.Making new friends wasn’t hard because I had other friends to help me talk to that person,but when my friends from eighth grade were going to a different school than I was is when it got difficult.I’m not the kind of person who’s super outgoing and extroverted unless I had my friends with me,so having my friends made things easier.When being put in situations where I would need to work with someone it would be easier to pick who I wanted to work with,if I could do so,because I didn’t have to have an awkward conversation with someone about working with me.But being put in a school where I had little to...

...I sway back and forth anxiously as I stretch my fingers. I’ve never stretched my fingers before playing piano before, but it should help, right? I’m focused on keeping my breathing calm and steady. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. A finger tapping on my shoulder brings me back to reality. It’s my friend. “Good luck!” she wishes me. I nod my head and give her a little smile. “Thanks.” She must see the uncertainty on my face, because she gives me a reassuring hug and says, “I know you’ll do great.” As the girl preceding me struts off stage to applause and the emcees parade out to make a cheesy joke and announce my act for Lakeview Middle School’s talent show, my hands feel clammy, my fingers feel weak, and my heart is beating...

...Karma My favorite part of the school day was walking to my mother’s car at the end of the day. Knowing I had completed another day of middle school was a fine feeling. It had been one of those days that I thought was never going to end. When I got in my mother said she had forgot to get something from the grocery store the day before so she had to go run to Walmart. As we drove to Walmart my brothers and sister began to get loud playing with each other in the back. All I wanted was some peace and quiet, but the noise kept getting louder and louder. As we pulled into the parking lot, I had heard enough and my mom wasn’t going making them stop. So I turned around and yelled at them as loud as I possibly could. Just as I was turning around after...
