In Middle school‚ my classmates used to call me "The therapist" or the girl version of Dr.Phil. My reputation was the person everyone poured their hearts out to. Now it is a common perception that kids our age couldn’t possibly have problems. Now I can’t speak for all‚ but for us kids growing up in Randolph and living with parents that survive from pay check to pay check‚ we had real problems. That we probably shouldn’t have had at such a tender age. Helping people always brought out a certain burst

I observed Mrs. Ball’s 7th grade science class at Helen Tyson Middle School on Thursday November 5‚ 2015. The classroom had a great climate and was decorated with interesting scientific educational material. She had the desks set up in organized rows with two kids per table.

I knew the boy who was assigned to sit next to me‚ flashes of elementary school memories filling my head when I heard his name coming out of the teacher’s mouth as she pointed at the desk to my right. Being the brat I was (and still am)‚ I relentlessly‚ but jokingly‚ teased him.

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

My change from middle school to high school was very scary because high school is a bigger school than middle school. The things about high school that scared me were the hallways‚ people‚ and how difficult it was going to be overall. In the middle school there’s wo big hallways‚ one little band hall‚ and a tiny gym right outside so it’s not hard to get lost. The high school is a different story there’s two big hallways‚ classes outside on the hill‚ the band hall‚ and the event center. The sophomores
