Another Summer had come and passed, and it was time, again, to return to school. Honestly, I loved school, and I wished it would never end. I loved being able to learn every day, and to hang out with my friends. It was a delight coming to school everyday. It all changed on the first day of 8th grade, though. On the first day of school a random guy in a mask came up to me and handed me something. After I sat there dazed and staring at him for about 5 seconds I looked at the little red envelope, again, was confused, but eventually decided to open it. I was nervous, and ended up ripping the envelope when trying to open it. Luckily, the contents didn’t rip. “Hey. All last year, and the year before, and the year before, and… Well... You get the idea… My friends have finally convinced me to ‘confess’ my feelings for you. I, well, really hate every little detail about you. Thanks for not being mad.” …show more content…
I thought it was a cute, little love note for me! Something someone had worked on for weeks to get it just right! Instead I got a hate note. Why would someone do something so cruel? What have I done? “Hey, what’s up?” Someone yells in the distance. I turn my head and see Sammy running towards me. “Hey Sam. I just got this weird note from a kid in a mask,” I say quietly. “Really? Let me see!” She yanks the note from my hand. “Wow. Someone actually said this? She says with a confused tone. I nod in reply. “I don’t know what to do,” I mumble. “We should get them back!” I stare blankly at her face. “You know…
THE PAST :.. In days gone by, the four species managed to live in perfect harmony. Witches, werewolves and vampires lived in secret, blending in with the humans on a daily basis - and the humans remained completely in the dark about their existence. It was after thousands of years of living this way, whilst everything was completely normal, that a small group of vampires decided that they’d had enough. They spent months devising plans.
I do not want to be a salesman nor do I want to walk in your shoes. You are nothing but a dark and cold man who made me feel as if I was walking on roads of gold. Lies, lies, and more Lies! You don’t understand the level of anger you caused me. I have lost my level of respect for you, and you did nothing but made my future life harder. I had to get some of these things off my chest, that you, Pop, left me to deal with! I now understand myself and what my dream is. You kept me lost in a world of lies and feel-good comments. You were nothing more than a dull, lying, cheating-man Pop. I have set my future and have set my mind; no one can change me now, Pop. This letter is my final goodbye to you. May you rest in
Eighth grade was one of the greatest school years of my life. This year was full of new experiences, and I have learned so much from them. In English class, we’ve learned a bunch of skills and did numerous activities. We learned about Anne Frank and the Holocaust. We had the opportunity to read many great books, all having a special and unique meaning to them. Our class also learned a variety of skills and strategies ranging from reading comprehension tips to learning how to use the comma. ELA this year was extremely informative and helpful but amusing at the same time.
The Story begins on a beach with three young children playing. Violet, 14, inventor; Klaus, 12, amateur researcher; and Sunny, baby, professional biter who has not totally developed speech. When they arrive to the beach it is a cloudy foggy overcast day. Violet is spending her time here skipping rocks, Klaus is studying tide pools and Sunny is just enjoying her time being at the beach with her older siblings. Even though it is not the greatest day in the world, the children are enjoying their time spent here at their favorite place. No other people are here on beach and this gives the children a place to be alone with their imagination. While playing a gentleman is approaching, but with the fog it scares the children because they cannot see who walks beneath the fog. As the figure gets closer they start to figure out who it is. The strange figure that lurked in the fog is Mr. Poe a friend of the family. Mr. Poe comes over to the children playing and explains to the children that their parents have perished in a fire that destroyed their home. Mr. Poe explains to the children that they will have to live with his family temporarily until he can figure out a plan as to where they will go.
8th grade, 8th grade from the opening day to the signing of the yearbooks. This is the year of memories, goodbyes, and regrets. 8th grade and I’m still realizing that there are people in the world that would die to go to a school like this. A school where every body knows everyone’s name, respects everyone, and where violence and fighting are about as common as the Yankees missing the playoffs. When I’m done with my homework and go to bed, as the days of 8th grade wind down, summer will come and go, and I will find myself in one of those giant, scary places called high school.
Lily Silvers is the sweetest, prettiest girl in the 10th grade. With her long light brown hair that was perfectly straight without even trying. Who would ever want to paint her face on the picture with black and white paint? Her body on the picture was blacked out with “I hate Lily Silvers” across it in white. She couldn’t think of anyone that would hate her.
“Why would you write something cruel like this?” My classmate lifted her brow, finishing browsing one of my detective stories. “As a cute girl, you should try what NORMAL school girls write, err…… I don’t know…… Romantic?”
A thick plume of black smoke and ash hung in the air in a heavy haze, almost completely obscuring the lurid red glow of the waning sun. Below, a cloud of grey plaster dust twisted and writhed amid the sea of debris as intermittent eddies of wind gusted by.
I blink, caught off guard. “Nothing. Everything. I don’t know how to put it in words.”
Hi Ling-Ling!! The book is for you and thank you for reading this. By the way the main point of this letter is the confession of my feelings for you. I know, I know everyone knows about it, even you actually. First things first I liked you because I cared about you more than any girl here in high school. Sometimes it just drives me crazy that you are happy most of the time, and then you start having this issues or dramas that bothers you most of the time. In this letter I won’t tell anything about it, because this is between me and you. Now the reasons why fall for you; first of all i like the way we both play around like a little kids and listen to rock when we were bored, but our differences is the most thing that makes me like you the most.
At the beginning of the year I’d waste my energy and time worrying over trivial things. Now I recognize that if I had tackled them with a better mindset, those things wouldn’t have affected me as much as they did. If you only focus on the bad aspects of situation, you’ll never fully enjoy life and make long lasting memories. My eighth grade experience has undoubtedly been a year where I’ve tried to do that to my full potential. I’ve improved my social skills, people skills and communication skills thanks all the new things I've encountered due to living my life “with arms wide open”.
she always used to wish for a way to escape her life. She saw memories
An anonymous author once said, "What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now." Over the course of my school years, it has been an exciting and shocking experience. These experiences have been an enjoyable journey from my elementary to middle school years. However, after several years the end of my middle school adventure is coming to a close. Soon my new journey will start as a freshman. Eight grade will surely be one of my most memorable years. It has been an absolute wonderful one hundred eighty days, and I will miss some of the aspects of eight grade—but certainly not all of it.
Imagine it is one’s first day in high school. Standing in front befalls the entrance way to your new future, thinking of what lies ahead from the perspective of a middle school grad. One would perhaps have mixed emotions as to what to expect. Observing the new students around the corridors, it transpires as if they are dragging their feet to progress inside, for the reason that they are fresh from the blissful summer days; they are in exchange, yet again, to the reality of school homework, projects, reports and tests. Some have queries and doubts in their minds; what does one expect of themselves getting into a high school life such as this? “What remains in store for me, I wonder…” “This school year is going to be subsequently much tougher
I slowly awoke and glanced at the bright pink and yellow Hello Kitty wall clock that hung above the chipped bedroom door. It was already ten minutes past 10 A.M. Waking up, I ponder whether I have the day off from school considering school begins at 8 A.M. As a seven-year-old, I relied on my mother to wake me. I trudged groggily over the white stained carpets that led to her bedroom door just down the hall. I barged in to find her asleep on her back, arms spread wide as if she did not have a care in the world.
