8th Grade Experience Essay

489 Words2 Pages

I had many fun experiences in 8th grade. Although I am very excited to move on to highschool, I will miss 8th grade as well. I learned many things in 8th grade. I learned a lot about U.S. history and I found physics very interesting. Algebra and Spanish, the two high school classes that I took this year were quite challenging but very rewarding. Hanging out with my friends in P.E. was one of the best things throughout the year. In English I had lots of fun reading different novels and short stories. Watching the movie of things we read was great because it helped me visualize, compare, and understand the story better.

Even though I learned many things in class, one of the most important things I learned was time management. In 8th grade …show more content…

Math has been one of my favorite subjects and I really liked Algebra this year as well. Although Spanish was the hardest class I have ever took, I learned it is fun to learn new languages. It may sound weird but, running has become something that I like to do and I am trying to start a habit of running everyday. Reading books has become one of my main pastimes this year because of the reading that we did in English. Call of The Wild and The Outsiders was very fun to read especially with my classmates because it was interesting how many people had different views of things in the book. The kahoot reviews were my favorite thing in English this year. It helped us do well on the test and it was very exciting to compete with my classmates. I feel that I have improved a lot at writing essays as well. I really liked the notes and guidelines that we got because it helped guide me write my essay step by step. Every time I wrote an essay in this class I felt like I was improving.

Finally some advice for incoming 8th graders. 8th grade is a very fun year and even though it may seem hard at the beginning, as you get used to it you will learn many things. Time management is very important and make sure to do your homework before playing

    I thought that it was smart how we had to find our reading pace for each book. It is different from Elementary School and Middle School. I liked how you had us write reflections of the books, instead of just writing the page numbers. This helps me comprehend the book better because I have to go back and re-read parts of the book that I didn't get in order to finish the writing. I read many books this year, but my favorite was Ender's Game.

  • Personal Narrative: Wahlert

    577 Words  | 3 Pages

    As I write this, I’m sitting in the air conditioned 20 by 30 foot Campus Ministry room. It makes me feel nostalgic to think that it was just last year I was sitting in a room by the same name with strikingly different characteristics: cramped, muggy, hazy yellow lighting. Since my freshman year the entire building has slowly evolved from the latter to the former. Now as a senior, the renovations are over halfway completed, and it makes me feel funny to think that in the near future the Wahlert of my freshman year will be long forgotten in both appearance and culture. As graduation gets closer, however, I have realized that my frustration toward the internal changes of Wahlert do nothing but overshadow the good memories I have of Wahlert.

I became aware of this as a counselor at Camp Casey one day in kites class. I was seated next to a fifth grader named Brandon, as we worked on decorating and constructing our kites. When it came time to tie the string to both sides, he was obviously struggling, so I offered to help him. I explained to him how to do it as I showed him an example of what to do with my kite.

  • Essay On My High School Experience

    1215 Words  | 5 Pages

    Kindergarten to 8th grade I attended a private school called Holy Family Catholic School. The school was very small along with classes, teachers extremely strict and hallways always quiet, the totally opposite from Dr. Henry A. Wise. My first day of high school I was very nervous I was not used to big classes, endless amount of students in the halls and the loud ruckus. This was an educational challenge for me because it was a totally different learning environment for me that i had to get used to quickly. My studying habits also challenged me through high school because test and quizzes were given out frequently and if you didn't know how to study you probably wouldn’t get a good grade.
