What would you feel when entering a new school? At first you would probably be scared, but also excited for entering to a new school, especially because new challenges will appear and you will experience new things. Alexa Navas and Zion Lesesne are an example, and both of them were able to adapt to a new environment. Alexa was living in Nicaragua, but when she entered the NDS, she felt anxious and was nervous just the way Zion felt. Zion came from the United States and his main challenge was learning a new language, Spanish, which with time he has been improving successfully. Zion and Alexa have adapted to a new school, kept their excellence and have received awards from various contests.
Alexa entered the school in 4th grade (2009) and felt that her main challenge was to adapt into a new environment. Zion also entered the Notre Dame School in 2nd grade (2007), which was two years before Alexa entered and a year of many changes for him. Both of them found a warm and familiar environment, and importantly they felt welcomed by their classmates. As they began adapting to a new environm...

    “School can be a tremendously disorienting place… You’ll also be thrown in with all kind of kids from all kind of backgrounds, and that can be unsettling… You’ll see a handful of students far excel you in courses that sound exotic and that are only in the curriculum of the elite: French, physics, trigonometry. And all this is happening while you’re trying to shape an identity; your body is changing, and your emotions are running wild.” (Rose 28)

  • My Daily Struggles Working in a Middle School

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

    My daily life challenges is how to coupe with people physically and mentally. I struggle everyday on how to deal with people in general because they can be cruel and unsensentative at times. I work at a middle school where I am in contact with several different personalilities to include the general public. I have to constantly deal with attitudes and the disrespect of parents when I have to in force the rules and the policies of our daily procedures that they do not agree with. Also working with co-workers that on occasions do not want ot speak or communicate. If I do not act or look a certain way, I will be excluded. This is what I consider a “click”. It’s a sad thing when people treat others (disrespectfully) excluding others due to appearance. I feel that age plays a role in the situation because there are many of my co-workers/boss that there is an age gap, which makes things harder to relate on some things and understanding my point of view. I do my best to try to fit in but, its difficult and hurts when people judge who I am. I was told that I have to always be validated, so everyday a co-worker makes remarks saying I better speak to Ms. Haynes cause if not she will be upset. That comment makes me feel a little angry, because its not that way. I just feel that its rude a to look at a person and not speak. Its has also been to me that, I can be parnod about things and do not like to take chances and being cautious. I have never been a person to just do things. I like to get approval or let my boss know what I am doing. I feel that’s common cursity, plus it’s a habit to let the person know if I can not make it to my assigned duty. I can not just assume that its okay but I get the response like it’s the wrong for me to do tha...
