Growing Up In Middle School
Growing up in the church starting at a very young age was most definitely a blessing but also a curse. I always loved going to bible class when I was in preschool and elementary school but during the beginning of middle school, I had a change of heart. I didn’t have the same fire burning in me that I once did. I didn’t truly know what it meant to be a christian and everyone noticed my sudden change.
During middle school I struggled a lot with making friends and fitting in. Because of my faith, I had gotten bullied and called the “stupid christian freek”. I was at a new school with new people and I just wanted to fit in so I decided that I would have to change something and that ended up being my relationship with God. For about three years

    Throughout my life I have always been committed and passionate in what I do. My faith fell first on this list. From a very young age I knew the importance and growth that came from knowing God and being an active member of a church family. The growth I experienced in church manifested and trickled out into my everyday life including academics. Central Advent Christian Church set this foundation of growth as a young man which has allowed me to build upon this foundation.…

    Hi Rachel. Because you attended a private Christian school, it was quite different from the rest of the posts, which is why it caught my attention so much. It really surprised me when I read the beginning of your post, when you stated, “there was division between the pastors kids and the rest of us whose parents were not high up in the church.” It’s interesting to think that in your case, there maybe wasn’t any “jocks” or “druggies” but instead they labeled themselves as “pastors kids” and “teachers kids”. Moving onto the end of your post, I’m glad you don’t have any shame of your middle school years, because as you stated, no matter how difficult it was during the time, you always learn something from it. And it especially shapes who…

    Many students claim that middle school is exceedingly straightforward and easy, whereas others claim that middle school is complex and difficult. For those who succeed in school and claim school is easy say that because they work diligently. It’s not because they are naturally talented. The students who say middle school is difficult and flounder in their studies say school is difficult because they don’t work assiduously and they don’t have perseverance. In fact, there are several kids at school who are talented fail their classes. This is because they don’t have grit and they are also often too lazy to do their work. In my own case, I am considered as one of the naturally talented people. Many of my peers think that I receive good grades because I am talented. However, I know this is not the case. In reality, I have been recieving good grades because I have been working diligently. Most homework assignments in middle school require hard work, critical thinking, and perseverance(which means no procrastinating). There are also many conundrums and…

Instead of bouncing around as rambunctious young boys do, he trudged slowly in a peculiar meter of half-steps toward the doorway. He was living a new life in a new school that was filled with people who might as well have been aliens to him.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    My journey to my personal salvation and acceptance of Christ as my Lord and savior actually is an interesting story in itself. I was baptized and confirmed as a member of the Baptist Church at the young age of five. I was living in Meridian, Mississippi at the time due to my father being involved in the US Navy and always moving from one base to another. For the next six years of my life, I was truly devoted to the Church and attended every service, event or function that was hosted by the Church. I was eleven years old and back home in my hometown of Detroit, Michigan when my salvation had taken a detour per say.…
