Eighth grade has been an unexpected but fantastic year. I expected it to be like my seventh grade year, long, boring, easy work, and only a couple of my friends are in my classes. Boy, I was wrong. Eighth grade has been a completely different adventure. The classrooms smell like people trying to hard to smell good, sometimes it gives me a major headache! The classrooms are smaller and when you walk in they are usually cold but get warmed up with in five to ten minutes through body heat. Every classroom “feels” very different. Sometimes you can just feel the positivity and it's hard not to be happy or even the other way around. You can either feel the hot air or you feel the dead cold air. The cold air feels like someone sucked all of the air …show more content…
The one thing everyone wants. I have both educational and more sport related goals for my eighth grade year. I did share my first action plan for one of my made-to-be accomplishment. Another educational goal I want to accomplish is getting all As in work habits (for the third time in a row). All of them. For that, I only need to turn things in on time, do the work, and stay focused in class. Easy enough depending on who you are. For me it might be a little challenge but I got this in the bag. My future accomplishments will help the rest of the school year go a lot better because with my planning I should be able to get my work done and turn it in on time so that means that I will have better grades. It not the grades I’m worried about is making sure I meet my expectations. My expectations are very high for myself, not including the chores, hard working tasks my parents expect me to do. I know that these things will make me more successful because the two goals I have should help me stay focused and learn better. They also will help me with learning time management, responsibility, and prioritising. The goals will not only help me in eighth grade but also in my future life. In Social Studies we have been working on a HUGE project called “National History Day”. I can not wait to see the final project. I’m looking forward to this moment, when all the hard work is done and I see that all of my hard work has been pulled off! NHD (National History Day) is …show more content…
The school that comes after middle school. I have an adventure side and a nervous as heck side. The adventure side is screaming with excitement, while my other side is trying to come up with a plan to get through the first week. Already. I still have to get through eighth grade! Goodness. You wonder why I freak out over small things. I have to know within 24 hours what is going to happen and if a project is due, or at least my anxious side thinks that. My adventure side is thinking about what am I going to do when I go hang with friends and etc. You see why I can’t focus? My brain is a interesting place. I almost have no room for common sense! I still have common sense, just it's hard to hear over my other “major” sides of my brain. My nervous brain is worFried about mean people, fitting in, making cool friends, making true friends, keeping all the relationships I have now, and mostly school work. SCHOOL WORK. I haven’t even finished the grade I’m in and I’m worried about not getting my school work in for high school. How ironic. My adventure side is excited to have more freedom, more options, more classes, longer lunch, more people to friend, new teachers, and bigger school! I feel like I have so many questions I want to ask. I can’t put a finger on what I want to ask because I don’t know what it's going to be like for me. I would ask that but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be different for me then for them. So can’t ask that question. They can read the
It will be fun because I get to have classes with my friends and I get to do fun activities like gym and different clubs. I am also looking forward to some things. I am looking forward to meeting new friends and teachers. I am also looking forward to going to sports games to watch sports like football and basketball. That is what I expect high school to be like and what I am looking forward to the
My goals are achievements I wish to accomplish before I die. This paper will include my goals: to graduate from high school as a participant in the National Honor Society, to get into a college, and to have a family. One of my short-term goals is to graduate high school as a participant of the National Honor Society. This is a program in which high school students can apply for and if are accepted can gain multiple
Junior year was a bit challenging for me. It was not challenging because of the work, but I joined a career program. I had to keep up with both of my schools. For me to be successful with so many things going on, I had to stay organized and think ahead. My success was that I kept all my grades above a C+.
When coming to Arcadia High School I didn’t know what to feel like, would I say frightened, worried, or energized? For this reason I decided that I felt confused. I was a bit stressed at the thought of getting bad grades. I entered school and saw what looked like a beehive of people going where they needed to go. So like many freshmen on their first day I got lost looking for my first class, it was such a big school and many of the halls weren’t even in alphabetical order.
C is for Chisholm My first day of school in Chisholm. I was nervous yet very excited, I had met two of my teachers but the others weren 't there so I was in for a surprise. The teachers were all nice and classes were easy, I had to make more friends since the ones I already had, didn 't have any classes with me but that was fine. I wondered around school not remembering were any of my classes where.
Transitioning high schools my freshman year was a major eye opener. It does not seem like a big deal, for almost everyone has transitioned to a different school, however, I transitioned from going to class everyday and always being told what do, to doing my course work online and creating my own school schedule. I used to go to a public school called Houston High School, located right next to my house in Germantown, Tennessee. I would go to school everyday, and then do my favorite activity after school, which was riding horses. I have a tremendous passion for riding and competing horses, and it is what led me to transitioning to my online high school, the University of Miami Global Academy.
At first, I was excited, but then that excitement shifted to dread. This dread came from the pressures of high school. I was scared that if I did poorly in school, my performance would affect the college I go to and the job I will get. The one thing that helped me keep focus the most was naps.
Do you have any goals? I have many goals, but I have three main goals. My goals are to graduate high school, go to a cosmetology college, and own a beauty salon. First, my goal is to graduate high school. Graduating high school won't be easy, but if I study hard and turn in my homework on time it will go by faster.
A lot of stuff happened in eighth grade, some good, some bad. For one good thing, every time at the end of quarter, we would do nothing and just play games, eat pizza, and watch movies. All the bad things I can think about is just the bad grades I get on test sometimes like that. So the goods outweigh the bads.
Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Learning Never Exhausts The Mind.” This describes the upcoming tests and events yet to come of my eighth grade year. There are various new challenges and experiences that come with the title of being an eighth grader. I hope to tackle every experience effectively and maturely. As eighth graders we have numerous occasions to prove ourselves as mature young adults.
I have goals from running marathons to where I want to go with my college education and my career. I have had a goal since my freshman year of high school to run a half marathon before I graduate and that is what I am going to accomplish May 21st at 9
For some kids, middle school is the most torturous time of their lives. For me, I learned a lot about myself. The song I chose to describe my 8th grade year is called “Whatever it Takes” by Imagine Dragons. This song describes my 8th grade year best because I interpret it mostly as talking about the importance being different than other people. I think this year is mostly when I realized the importance of not being like everyone and being completely myself.
Middle school was extremely ardous for me . I constantly had to write essays every single night because we read one novel every week. It seemed like I could never have a break from writing. The sheer amount of homework was nerve-wracking because I never expected this much homework. I remember expressing some of my my thoughts in my journal such as how hard writing essays was and how challenging my math tests were.
Kindergarten to 8th grade I attended a private school called Holy Family Catholic School. The school was very small along with classes, teachers extremely strict and hallways always quiet, the totally opposite from Dr. Henry A. Wise. My first day of high school I was very nervous I was not used to big classes, endless amount of students in the halls and the loud ruckus. This was an educational challenge for me because it was a totally different learning environment for me that i had to get used to quickly. My studying habits also challenged me through high school because test and quizzes were given out frequently and if you didn't know how to study you probably wouldn’t get a good grade.
When I graduate high school, I plan on having future goals that I plan on achieving. My first goal is to go to college and get a degree. I plan on attending Purdue NorthWest majoring in engineering and minoring in business. This is my number one future goal that I need to accomplish because to be able to have a nice life, I need to go to college to support my future family. My next future goal would be get a starting job to be able to support my future family.
