Middle School Experience Research Paper

595 Words3 Pages

My Middle School Experience 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).
It was a sunny day in August when I nervously started 6th grade at a new school named MSA, a charter school located in Santa Clara, with less than 500 people including middle and high school. I started off with several challenges: making sure to achieve straight As, trying to form new friendships, and being in a new environment.
During the beginning of 6th grade, I was terrified of not being able to catch up on schoolwork and meeting new people since I enrolled into MSA two weeks after the school started. But right after attending math class, Akansha, a small, thin, girl with a gigantic, purple backpack on her back immediately came to me saying …show more content…

“I’m Jessica, pleasure to meet you”. I replied as I returned the gesture.
The bell rang for break, so Akansha introduced me to her friends Samantha, a tall, blond girl who’s quiet as a mouse and Alaya, a girl with long eyelashes like a Covergirl model. On that day, the weight on my shoulders immediately disappeared. Soon after, I made more friends, I was eager to go to school everyday. This made me feel happier, warmer, and cheerful.
A turning point occurred at the beginning of 7th grade, and we had a new principal named Mr. Ak, who altered the schedule to each homeroom sharing the exact same schedule based on his/her math level for the rest of the their time at MSA. I looked at my schedule and saw Homeroom:7B. Right before class started, Akansha came to me smiling, like the first day of 6th grade. But her smile immediately disappeared when she looked at my

    I hope that the assumption that the middle schools of Blount County are under-performing is not being made based solely on a comparison with the high schools ' performance and the elementary school 's performance. That would be an unfair and inaccurate assumption if that were the case. The loss of achievement associated with school-to-school transitions from elementary school to middle school and middle school to high school is a well documented occurrence. Studies (Alspaugh,1998 & Rosenblatt, 2008) have found a statistically significant achievement loss associated with the transition from elementary school to middle school at the 6th grade as compared with K-8 schools that did not have a school-to-school transition at 6th grade.
