Recommended: Relationship between students and teacher

The beginning I tilted my head up,my eyes turned wide. When I had looked up, I saw all these new faces and My brain was on overload. I suddenly see a face that I recognize. Our eyes locked immediately. Footsteps clack until they reach me. It's an old elementary friend. We walk around trying to figure out where our classes are. I found my first period. She wishes me luck and walked off. I walk in. I could hear my heart racing in my ear..... The middle Five days earlier... "Michelle, you really, really need to learn to start sleep earlier.

It is later on and I'm thinking about what my mom said,not the part where I …show more content…

As soon as I looked up I saw a table filled with faces that I recognized. They were my friends from elementary! In elementary I was very loud and made friend very easily. So most of my friends were like this as well. I felt warm inside, I felt finally comfortable. "Michelle come over here!" "Come sit with us." A few of the people at the table say. I go over and sit down. As soon as she spoke I knew the teacher was a friendly soul. Little did I know that this room would be a safe haven for all of us. As our teacher talks about how she looks forward to teaching us and getting to know us, I scan the room. I see new faces. I remember looking at the boy with sleepy eyes and messy hair that was on the other side of the room and thinking to myself, " Him and I are gonna be friends someday, I don't know when or how but we are, I can feel it." Spoiler alert, that stranger became my best friend, but that's another story. A year has passed. I am now an eighth grader. All the strangers from the first day of school have now become family. A lot has happened. Some friendships are not there anymore, but some new ones have arrived. I am so grateful for the teachers and peers in my life who have helped me and shown me to be wiser and more courageous. I know this year will be an eventful one. I can't wait to see what it

  • Graduation Speech: Our Next Big Climb

    734 Words  | 2 Pages

    Class of 2012, we've finally made it, but not without the help of our parents, teachers and mentors along the way. Maybe what they did for us was that they were a good rudder and we're the ship, and they got us to the sea where we remember who we are. Because we all get in that fog, where we forget who we are or what we're about, we get overwhelmed. I mean I've been there plenty of times in my life. But we're not going to remember most of our lives until the end. But we will remember certain moments. Maybe it's our first 4.0 report card, maybe it's our first 100 percent biology test, maybe it's our first homerun, our first touchdown. Whatever it may be, it will stay with us forever. Many of us have been together through elementary, middle and high school, and we have all had to work hard and remain focused to be where we are today. All change happens in a minute. Your life changes in a moment. Something triggers you and you finally make a decision and it all shifts. As years go by, your body is going to change, your relationships are going to change, your attitude is going to change. Change is automatic, but progress is not. Our progress has brought us here tonight, and tonight will become one of those moments that we will cherish forever.

    Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.

    It was finally the first day of school; I was excited yet nervous. I hoped I would be able to make new friends. The first time I saw the schools name I thought it was the strangest name I’ve ever heard or read, therefore I found it hard to pronounce it in the beginning. The schools’ floors had painted black paw prints, which stood out on the white tiled floor. Once you walk through the doors the office is to the right. The office seemed a bit cramped, since it had so many rooms in such a small area. In the office I meet with a really nice, sweet secretary who helped me register into the school, giving me a small tour of the school, also helping me find

I mean c’mon’ the kid literally does. You could take him to the mall and point something out, “Have that”, “Got it”, “My mom just got that for me last week”. I was exhausted due to the fact that my brain had been racing for weeks on end and I could not think of a single thing he didn’t already have.
