When they reached Seventh grade, things had been starting to change majorly.…
I did mention myself changing. A lot of things promoted that growth. Many outside forces that I did not mention in my previous writings influenced me to grow and made me into who I am today. The main catalyst for my personal growth was going on that trip and gaining perspective. Getting out of my small town, I realized that my problems were so miniscule and that there was a whole world out there. From there I spent more time with family, rekindled my love for art, and transferred to a different school. The hard time I went through was awful, but it promoted so much growth and has made me into the person I am…
In grade 6 I went to a great school called David Leeder Middle School. Even though none of my friends from grade 5 were in my class, I had an amazing year. All of my teachers were fabulous except for one. My math and science teacher was the worst teacher I had ever had. I remember that she would always yell at us for asking her questions about our work. In grade 7, I was also in David Leeder, but this was the best year I had ever had in my life. Every single teacher of mine were very good and they taught everything very thoroughly. Also, I made a lot of friends during this year. Academically I had the best year and I took part in extra curriculars such as soccer and volleyball. During these two years I went to Pakistan, I went to New York…
Williams Elementary School is located just off of interstate 75 and home of the mighty Eagles. From the outside it has the appearance of a typical school with screaming students, rushing parents, and screeching buses. It is made out of boring brown bricks and beige stucco boarding near the top of the building. The inside features a prison-like setup, only with more vibrant colors. There is a double door leading into an office with multiple faculty and staff. In order to actually enter the school, you have to be buzzed in by the round and hyper man at the main desk. Once in the building, you will see that it is shaped like a large square with hallways extending from four sides. The hallways are full of colorful painting of eagles, laminated…
When I started Unity High School I thought that we were going to get a lot of work from my classes, and that work was going to be extremely hard. I also thought that I wasn't going to have any free time to do anything because of that, but it turned out to be wrong because the teachers give us a good amount of work but its not really hard. I thought that making friends in Unity would be hard in a sort of way but it was quit easy because everyone else was trying to make friends too. When I first got to Unity I also thought that there was going to be a few school clubs, but there is a good amount of clubs that students can join if they want to join some type of club. I think as a person I have grown more since first coming to Unity because I…
The sadness that comes with saying goodbye to the friends you have spent your whole life with when moving is never easy. Throughout my education, I have moved schools 3 times and every time it has been a struggle to acclimate socially, mentally and academically. I started at Diegueno Middle School in the middle of the seventh grade. This was now my second school in only the first half of my first year of middle school. Again I had to adapt to new people and a different course load. This school had a much higher standard of academia then my prior school and at first, I struggled. School felt alien to me. Time passed and I made new friends and I got used to the difficulty. I started high school with the same group of friends from middle school…
For the past two years, on the 1st Monday of the month I have participated in Site Council meetings at my high school along with other Associated Study Body (ASB) members, our principal, school administrators, parents, and teachers. Frequently it was brought up that minorities were not as involved in our school as majority groups. ASB has always been dominated by white students and as a Latina, I found it very intimidating when I joined.…
These past few years at Lionville Middle School have been some of the most memorable and exciting parts of my life. I came to Lionville Middle School from Shamona Creek Elementary. Shamona Creek elementary was much smaller than the gargantuan, new middle school. Also, there were so many more students and teachers. I expected the middle school to be filled to the brim with classrooms and I was correct. Some of my first memories here are quietly coming into the school and looking for my classroom. I did not even know where to go or how to get there. All around I saw kids getting to their classes right away, while I was stuck in the hallways. Fortunately, I saw a friend and followed him toward my new classroom. When I got my new locker, I had…
The bus is very loud. Will I fit in? I had so many thoughts on the first day of school. ”This is my chance. I had to remind myself that it would be okay because I needed to have confidence. It was my first time at being at Lindley so I no friends. I was concerned why people were laughing. I had to ask the principle where my first class was. Lindley Middle School was seemed gigantic. When I finally got to my first class, I met so many new people like Kaniya and To’Keitha. I noticed that there was nothing to be scared of because everybody was very nice and welcoming. Later on in the year, I have advance classes, great grades, awesome friends and that’s because I have put myself out there and I attracted friends. My instincts weren’t right because…
Being trapped in the state of fear and lack of self-confidence caused me to struggle socially and mentally, but soon I realized how much I have grown as a person. Therefore, I am no longer afraid of starting new and taking a step forward, all thanks to my experience at my middle school MSA (Magnolia Science Academy).…
I have changed a lot academically throughout seventh grade. For an example, my writing skills have improved. I am able to write papers with less stress involved.…
I also changed academically, whether it be how I study or the amount of effort I put into my classes. In middle school I did not really try as hard as I should have, mainly because school was free and I considered Middle School, specifically eighth grade, as a somewhat insignificant period between elementary school, where you learn very important topics, and high school, where you also learn very important topics. For example, in my eighth grade english class we spent the entire year on one book called The Omnivore's Dilemma, in which Michael Pollan talked about where our food came from and the horror that is the production of manufactured foods,…

The key is to handle change well, so you can thrive for a lifetime. In the difficult transition from 5th to 6th grade, you take on more responsibility, make new friends, and schoolwork becomes more challenging.…
Changes happen over a short period of time, while certain characteristics never fail to reside. Five years ago, I was still in elementary. Back then, I didn’t really care about grades, all I cared about was what kids usually want, like my outrageous collection of hello kitty toys and accessories. I had a weird obsession to hello kitty. I remembered wanting to go to Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo just to meet her. Being a kid, I usually cause trouble and run from problems. I play with friends under the searing sun. I got easily bored just reading. I was afraid of trying new things like meeting new people and signing up for social networking sites. I didn’t believe in myself, maybe because of the insults my peers throw at me. When I got to high school, I started getting quite rebellious. After classes, I go out with friends and go home late. I waste my parents’ money just to satisfy my desires. I didn’t really have any major goals five years ago. I wasn’t really thinking about my future quite yet.…
