During middle school‚ being a leader meant someone who took charge of people. Someone who was in complete control and always had the answers. Someone whose voice commanded the entire room. Someone who was confident in every move they made. At that point in my life I didn’t consider myself a leader at all. I was timid and shy. I was afraid to even raise my hand in a classroom‚ let alone speak up when I saw a problem and had an idea of how it could change. I couldn’t even speak up for myself‚ let alone

The transition from middle school to high school was a change that I was not ready for. I had always been a good student‚ but high school brought challenges that I had to learn to conquer throughout my high school life. A move to a neighboring city forced me to attend a different high school than all of my middle school friends‚ and I was forced to leave all of the friends I had made over the past 8 years. Needless to say‚ my grades suffered. I wasn’t used to the workload that the IB program I

My middle school life was very slow but at the same time it went by very fast. There are several factors that contributed to this. For one‚ middle school was not the best and it wasn’t my favorite‚ although my experiences were very beneficial. I lived in the same house I do today‚ about 7 miles out of town and away from everyone. Which meant I didn’t really get out much and I didn’t talk to very any people. It also didn’t help that I was very shy and awkward; it really sucked. Most of the beginning

Is it too soon to talk about boy/girl relationships in elementary school? Of course it is‚ you say! Well‚ you may not want to hear about it‚ or you may choose denial over reality‚ but the fact remains that children are playing out the cultural role that they are being taught as early as 2nd grade. Therefore‚ the relationship between boys and girls at every school (Christian and non- Christian) is a topic that needs to be discussed from a Biblical standpoint. Recently I have observed an increase

Finding Myself at Middle School Being trapped in the state of fear and lack of self-confidence caused me to struggle socially and mentally‚ but soon I realized how much I have grown as a person. Therefore‚ I am no longer afraid of starting new and taking a step forward‚ all thanks to my experience at my middle school MSA (Magnolia Science Academy). It was a sunny day in August when I nervously started 6th grade at a new school named MSA‚ a charter school located in Santa Clara‚ with less than 500

especially when you haven’t experienced its full effect. Ever since kindergarten‚ I was an honor roll student. I received all the certificates and recognition‚ I got to eat lunch with the teacher‚ which then was a goal for most kids my age. Entering middle school‚ I was confident that I’d be just as successful. First quarter grades were passed out and knocked me right out of the clouds of glory. Sixth grade advanced math was the one class I dreaded‚ and in that class I received my very first ’F.’ I lost

Before I went to the meeting‚ I was expecting the meeting to be like seen on TV. Looking something around the lines of a middle school auditorium with chairs all facing the stage and someone gets up there and talks. Or a meeting where everyone sits in a circle‚ facing each other and each person shares. Instead‚ the meeting was in a cafeteria in a hospital. The seating was very casual and welcoming. When we walked in there was about 40 people just talking and sharing. There was a very positive vibe

When I was 13‚ I had to go through a transition that tested my character tremendously. Let’s rewind to my seventh grade year‚ which was four years ago. Talk was going around the little private school I attended in Ardmore‚ Oklahoma that my family was moving away. I had not heard anything about this‚ I had no idea what anyone was talking about‚ and I was definitely not happy with being the subject of everyone’s gossip. I heard stories about where and why my family was moving that you would not believe

A Mislead Perception I was incredibly awkward in middle school: tall and uncoordinated‚ fitting the mold of a nerd with a high grade and science and a low one in self-esteem. Even though I had friends‚ I didn’t necessarily fit the seventh grade standard of being popular. I remember the day Austin came to our school. She was from Brooklyn‚ and she brought along her unbelievable stories of mischief making her instantly popular. She told us of how she had snuck out at night to meet older boys‚ and
