Recommended: First day of school
I woke up with a grin on my face, ready for the long but exciting day. Today could change my whole middle school career. So many questions. Where to sit at lunch? Where to go for classes? Will I be able to beat the intimidating ring of the bell? Today was my first day ever of middle school. I got out of my warm, soft bed and threw on the clothes I had set out the night before. I made my bed in a sloppy and rushed way, brushed my teeth, and did my hair. It was just like any other day, except the fact that today would be the first day of a three-year journey. I slumped to the kitchen where I met my half-asleep brother, groaning as he awoke no longer than fifteen minutes ago. He was bragging that he didn't have to go to school and I did. I wasn't …show more content…
I got so excited when the weird kids invited me back to sit at the there table. I accepted the invitation joyfully and thought that these weird kids may not be so weird. I even had a few classes with these kids. It was about the second week of school before we started figuring everything out. I was surprised at how eager I was to learn, but when you hear nothing but class rules and instructions for a week and a half, then I starts to get bored. About a month into the school year, I considered these kind people to be my friend. I was proud of myself. I actually made new friends. This is the first time in awhile that I made new friends. The last time I had actually made some new friends was in kindergarten but that was so long ago. And besides, everybody was friends in …show more content…
A few hours later, it was lunch. I sat at the table I usually sat at last year, waiting anxiously for my friends. When they arrived, I was so content to see them. We talked and completely forgot about lunch. We got into some deep conversations about our lives and summer. It was crazy to me that just last year, we all didn't even know each other. Seventh grade was better than the sixth grade in more ways than one. At about the end of third quarter, it was track season. I was debating on whether I should do it or not. Again I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried it. The beginning of the season was a little rocky at first. I didn't know what events I was going to do or if I could take the long brutal practices. I trained and worked hard. After a long season, I started getting better and eventually I crossed the finish line in personal record speed. I was breathless and my heart was pounding through my chest, but the hard work paid
I was so excited to start my new journey in school. I knew that being involved in a sport was going to help me become more confident. Running has taught me how to achieve my goals, be tough; both physically and mentally, and appreciate life. The first week of cross country was difficult.
6th grade, and I was saying hello, and now 8th grade has come and it’s gone from introductions to goodbyes as my last days as a middle school student wind down. 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.
The thing that amazes me the most is how frightened we all were going into this school. So many things went through my mind before and even during the first week or so of my Sandy Run Middle School career. Going through the grades I became more outgoing and began to step out of my comfort zone. I would have never taken the challenges that came my way these past years if I had the same mindset as I did in elementary school. Although some times I didn't feel up to doing a load of work and acted lazy, I always tried my best to push myself and give it my all. I am extremely proud of myself for that.
Hello everyone I’m Chad. I am going to tell you some of the things that have been going on in my experience with Middle School. I woke up early this morning like I always do, I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get ready for school. I went to the kitchen and I got myself something to eat. I am normally a very happy person and I make people feel like everyone has a purpose to be on this Earth.
When I was in middle school I thought life was just full of joy and I really did not have
Once upon a time there was a boy named Joe and it was his first day in middle school. So Joe and his brother and parents went to open house at the school so Joe and Billy know where there classes are. So then the next day they got on the bus and Joe was playing with his friends from 5th grade that he knows then they got to school. Then Joe ate lunch and the he went to his homeroom and say so of the same people from 5th grade. And Joe told his brother that the first day at school wasn’t so bad. The next day Joe and Billy got up and put their clothes on then ate breakfast then went to the bus stop. Then the bus came and they got on the bus and went to school. Then they got to school ate
Throughout my life, I had always received recognition for being very agile and quick. My first day of Middle School consisted of the track and field coach attempting to persuade me to join the school’s athletics program. I had previously never been apart of an athletics team, and was willing to take advantage of the opportunity. Throughout my three years of middle school, I was the one consistent member of the school’s track and field team and had an overall successful personal record. Coaches from opposing school would praise me leaving me feeling very confident about myself.
My sophomore year had begun and I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to do track this year. Last year I played football in the fall and soccer in the spring. Not really enjoying it, the decision was made to play " real futbol" (soccer) in the fall, leaving the spring sports season open. My friend kept telling me how fun track was, so I decided to give it a try.
My friend group was really nice. You know, just some more down to earth people just like me. I returned to my childhood friend group once again. It felt nice just catching up and it seemed just like yesterday that were we sitting under the tree at the end of the yard. The red bench.
On Thursday, August 17, the Smithville High School building was freshly covered in welcome back decorations with the “Warrior Strong” theme in every hallway, and I was feeling pretty confident and relaxed. Unsurprisingly, the first day of school was filled
What I have learned through cross country and track has now been reflected in my everyday life. It has not always been easy, but the experiences that I have had and the determination that I have gained and been able to use in my own life has made it all worth it. For me, it was never the great success that I had throughout my seasons that gave me pride and satisfaction, but instead how I was able to handle the trials that came my way. As a freshman, it had been challenging to experience a sport like cross country, a sport that I had casually enjoyed since seventh grade, in a whole new way.
The beginning of school is another blurry and confusing time. Once I get to band class, my name is called over the intercom telling me to go to the e office. After I slowly wonder through the halls, trusting my instincts of muscle memory of how to get around the school more than my eyes, the secretaries barley looks up from their computers to tell me to call my mom. Confused and slightly worried, I take out my phone and call
I began to make friends at school. My friends were the kinds of kids that other people considered
For the next 3 years of high school, they became my new close group of friends that I was always with. I was grateful for these girls because I knew they would stick with me being that we were on the same team together. Every now and then I saw my old friends, but being with my new ones made me realize who my true friends were. I believed everything happened for a reason, so I did not feel sorry for myself anymore whenever I did see them. If it was not for them leaving me, I wouldn’t have met my new best
Throughout high school, I had my same friend group that I had since middle school and elementary school. I always tried to make new friends, and join groups when I could, but I learned that the group of friend’s I had were a great group. My friends and I were in many of the same clubs, which made it more fun being in those clubs, and knowing people.
