Personal Narrative: Attending Middle School

A huge number of kids that are going on to junior Think the won’t be able to survive, most of them are scared to come because they fear that they won’t have enough time between classes, Not opening your locker, and lastly they fear that they will be squashed or pushed by the 8th graders! These are the steps on how to survive middle school. When I came to middle school I was pretty scared to but I survived! The first thing I had trouble with was that I couldn’t get my locker open, every time I tried I couldn’t open it

It was morning, I was getting ready for the first day of Middle school. I was so exited, what my sister told me about it, it even made it even better! My mom got her camera and said "time to take the first day of school on the steps." I got up from the couch and raced outside to the steps, and my sister was a

Freshman year, what an awkward time in my life coming out of middle school with my poor grades I promised myself and my parents I was going to succeed while in high school. Did I though? My grades for sure improved but I still was not putting in as much effort as I should have been. I struggled to be able to communicate with all these new faces and in a completely new school but even outside of school struggled to talk to new people.

first time in middle school Has this ever happen to you.in the first day of middle school? Well for my yes. It start off like any normal first day of school.

Junior High years were pretty… interesting to say the least. Seventh grade was my first year in the high school. Yes, I was pretty nervous going into a school with kids who were much, much older than me. I knew I wasn’t the only one nervous. That kind of helped my brain chill out a bit.

When I was in the 2nd grade i went on the most intresting field trip. I was surprised that my parents paid a lot of money just so i can go to the Lincoln Memorial. I can not expressed how i was feeling at that age, i was so happy. I took my bestfriend Jack, he did not have to pay a single penny. Our school was on fall break so that is when we went so i spent my whole break with my best buddy.

"It’s 5:30. Call time. Go change now. We need to leave asap” the band “moms” yelled as we rushed to the locker rooms. It was time.

Growing up, I would talk to anyone who would listen, rambling on even in the way toddlers do. I would talk to waiters or waitresses at restaurants, cashiers, anyone. My outgoingness obviously worried my parents because they thought I would get kidnapped. They even put a lock up higher on our front door so I would not be able to open the door to a stranger and get stolen. But as I grew up I became more and more shy and introverted.

In seventh grade I had my first “boyfriend”; it was the typical middle school relationship. I remember telling my parents at the time that it was not a big deal; I said something along the lines of “it’s middle school, this doesn’t mean anything”. We lasted almost a year and when we broke up it was like nothing happened expect it was a little odd seeing him with other females, but we were still friends for some time. I noticed that I was one of the few girls at that age who weren’t who knew that relationships then do not mean much. When it came to boys I had an “eh” attitude, while many girls got attached and when they broke up they were a little too sad.

A breakthrough that I had was a physical one it was when I was middle school playing at the starting quarterback position it was my last year in middle well my 8th grade year , I knew I had to get a little stronger & faster if I wanted too to be pretty good . So I started running, doing push-ups, sit-ups, an etc . Just to try in compete with the guys that were much bigger but I had the same power as them so even I was very short I was also very fast & strong since I’ve been lifting weights I knew it would become something I really like doing , my senior year in high school I ran a 4.47 , 40 yard dash , my bench was 235, squat 335, an im only 5,6 , 147pds .

During middle school, I experienced many fun activities, including sports, entertainment, band ,and learning. Since the first day I came here, and the last day I will ever be walking through these walls. When I came here, I was scared of walking through those doors that gateways to the middle school. My dad was next to me, I didn't want to leave his side. As I walked, tears filled in both my father and I. Once I got in, I couldn’t look back.

Middle school is often portrayed as the not-fun years of school because kids are going through so many changes. The middle school years are very important because of these changes. Without the proper institution to guide them through these changes, students may make poor decisions. That’s why I believe my experience at Central York Middle School has been imperative to my academic success. One important thing for a middle school to do is to create a fun and friendly environment for learning.

Starting middle school challenges any kid transitioning into a teenager. Simple small changes like going from cubbies to lockers excite students. Bigger changes like transitioning from one all day class to six individual classes and pluses and minuses to letter grades can leave some students shell-shocked with new responsibilities. I remember the struggle I had keeping up with all of this in my first year. I found social studies homework especially difficult for me.

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G). For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.
