Personal Narrative: Finding Myself At Middle School
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 people including middle and high school. I started off with several challenges: making sure to achieve straight As, trying to form new friendships, and being in a new environment.
During the beginning of 6th grade, I was terrified of not being able

    Personal Narrative: Two Years Of Middle School

    Jackie Robinson once said “This ain't fun but watch me get it done”. I had always been at a small school my entire life until seventh grade, when I decided to change schools. I was the new kid, and I didn’t know anyone, and nobody knew me, but I made friends in that two years of middle school. I had never been through a transition like that in my entire life, but when I am older I can look back on it and say that I did it.…

    Personal Narrative: My Real Goals In Middle School

    I’ve always had lofty, perhaps unrealistic. In middle school, I naively assumed that I would be in top 12% of my class, by simply making A’s. I tried my hardest in every classes, but still wasn’t enough. I never reached my goal of being in top 12%, as a result my self-esteem plummeted. I started high school with high hopes once again. Perhaps even more naively, I pursued the goal of being ranked number one. I was too young to realize the concept of “realistic” goals. My biggest obstacle was my state of mind. I brought my self-down. I told myself the only way to be the best is to be better than everyone else. Setting such a high goal did help me in the end. After the second semester of freshman year, I received my rank. I was ranked number 10;…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To High School

    Looking back to middle school I remember the fear I had for someday having to go to high school. My teachers always told me how different and harder it would be when I went. My older sister was in 9th grade at the time and I wanted ti be with her when I went. But the high school she was at was different from the one all my friends were going. I always had a hard time making decisions and now I had to choose between going to a school with my friends or going to a school that would help me prepare for the future. So I decided I would just apply to my sisters school to see if I got accepted, going into the interview I wasn't really scared because it didn't matter to me, I just thought whatever happens, happens. Surprisingly I got accepted and…

    Today was the day. Packed to the point of bursting open with new notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, and textbooks, he readied me for school. 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.…

    Reflective Essay: Speaking In The AP Class

    I have never been an extremely confident person. Although I love to express my ideas with others, I face anxiety when confronted with the prospect of public speaking or even speaking in class. I tend to focus more on my schoolwork and less on making sure I am participating in every way possible. However, my junior year was a major turning point. Just taking one different and challenging class opened my eyes and showed me that I am capable of more than I thought possible.…

    Personal Narrative: A Personal Experience Of Attending Middle School

    I attended middle school at St.Mary’s in Middletown N.J., and at Bayshore Middletown School in Leonardo, NJ. I had went to St Mary’s from kindergarten to the sixth grade, I had left and went to Bayshore seventh and eighth. I was extremely nervous when I saw how large Bayshore was for just a middle school was for three grades. Bayshore is on the popular/main road Leonardville Road and St. Mary’s was off of Leonardville Rd onto Church Street. Bayshore was right across from route 36. St. Mary’s is right next ‘the Junction’ and Mater Dei Prep High School. Our school colors were blue and yellow, with a Saint/Dolphin as our mascot. I was terrified on my first day in seventh grade. Hundreds of questions were filling my mind the night before! What…

Jump forward all of these years later, I am now thirteen years old living in the same house I was first introduced to. On the weekdays I leave my home every morning to go to school with my Mom and my sister. I am now in seventh grade, however I should be in eighth grade. I am one year behind because I have a summer birthday, so I would be about a year behind everyone else in that grade.
