Recommended: Middle school transition to high school

We finally did it. Sitting here today, our journey of Middle school came to an end. Our journey, memories, challenges, etc. have made us what we are right now and preparing us for a longer journey ahead; high school. If we work hard enough, we will overcome the greater challenges in High school. Middle school has made us grow into a person we didn’t know we would become. Especially this Ib school has made us find our unique traits we didn’t or did know we had. If we didn’t know we had those unique traits, I think all the teachers did a good job making us find those traits. For example, this school made me know I possess the risk-taker trait I had that I didn’t know I had before. Throughout everything the teachers taught me, I learned to take one step ahead and face more challenges than I think. Like how I always write that one super detailed and long paragraph when the teacher asks for two sentences thinking I will get a bad grade if I don’t. I think I have …show more content…

I mean, when I first came to the U.S, which was in Elementary School, I didn’t do that well since I was in a second-language class. However, Middle School came and I was like that’s it, I have to pull it together and get all a’s. I set a mindset for myself that my grades have to be all a’s no lower. Don’t get me wrong, us valedictorians aren’t perfect because I admit, I sometimes leave my assignments until the last minute, so if you don’t want stress, don’t procrastinate. As long as us students work very hard and not get distracted with other unimportant things, we will do good.We finally did it. Sitting here today, our journey of Middle school came to an end.

    Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.

    Worrying too much about grades can cause students serious problems like not really understanding the work, make them not feel smart enough and lose interest in school and can cause anxiety and other health issues. In the article Mr. Bains said “ Indeed, there are several problems with strategic learners” (Project Information Literacy October 10, 2012 page1/4). One of the problems is students don 't really understand what they are learning if once they reach that high grade they want they will just stop. I am very guilty of only performing for the grade because I did it all throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you can get so once I reached that A I...

    As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

  • Transition from Elementary to Middle School

    1203 Words  | 3 Pages

    Children confront many transitions throughout their lifetime that can be stressful. They face their first transition from home to school, elementary to middle school, middle to high school, and high school to college or work (Schumacher, 1998). However, the transition from elementary to middle school seems to be harder for adolescents due to the personal changes of puberty. Research suggests that roles, expectations, and responsibilities are the primary concerns of students (Akos, 2002). In order to make this transition easier, programs such as “blocking, shadowing, or buddies” need to be implemented the year preceding middle school and continue through the first year of transition.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Grading System

    1064 Words  | 3 Pages

    A statement from the Huffington Post states, “From a very young age, we are told the importance of getting good grades. Especially in high school, we are told time and time again that our grades affect what college we will get into. While grades are extremely important, people often forget about the importance of learning, not just getting good grades. There is a difference between the grade received in a course and the amount of learning that took place in the course.” Parents and institutions should teach the importance of learning. The society around the upbringing of students emphasizes getting good grades as apposed to getting every detail and aspect mastered. School priorities should be reevaluated and changed for future students

  • Young Adolescents And The Middle School

    1418 Words  | 3 Pages

    Young adolescents can be described as ages 10-15 years old, but it is also considered that adolescence continues until the age of 25. During this time in an adolescent’s life there are many internal and external factors that affect the development of each individual. The influence that an adolescent’s peers, parents, and community have on them can be conflicting and therefore cause stress. Trying to meet the expectations of others during a time where one is going through so many forms of physical, psychological, and cognitive development can be trying for a middle school aged student. They are expected to focus on their education and the expectation of other outside influences while their bodies are growing and developing into an adult body. When development happens differently for these kids it can affect their psychological development if they focus too much on how fast, or slow they are developing in comparison to their peers. Some adolescents may let their peers influence their behaviors creating a problem with how they interact with others, or how they view themselves as a person. The middle school is a place where students are guided through these developmental experiences with the help of their peers, teachers, administrators, parents and community.
