Many people believe that the transfer of high school is hard. What many people fail to see it that it 's only the advancement in technology and the fast paced school lifestyle. This year at Poston Butte High School our school had about 500 incoming freshman which compared to last year is low… Now, taking into account that a large majority of our students come from the same school district and the same 8th grade class, Everyone 's transition could be considerably same. But was Poston butte all that they have been expecting.
There was so much freedom in High School compared to Junior High! I was able to walk off campus and eat, hang out with my friends at the local mall, and awkwardly gaze at the cute senior boys from school. Sophomore year was great. I entered junior year of high school unbothered by the fact that my father did not have a role in my life. However, as my father realized that I was about to be a senior, he started reaching out more.
As a young aspiring musician in middle school, I wanted to start a band desperately. Instead, I was known as Emerson Middle School 's’ music freak. I posted flyers in businesses around my hometown and online ads. I wanted to be like Amy Lee from Evanescence terribly, but my taste in music was different than most people. When my fellow classmates heard about my compositions and ideas, they thought it was a joke.
The transition from middle school to high school is what shaped me the most and this adjustment has changed me in both good and bad ways. As a freshman, I enrolled in a private school, called Bridgemont High School. It was a very small school and did not have the same help as the public schools offered. I didn 't have an ELD class and classes providing extra help were limited. Eld means einglish language development, these classes are classes to help develop your english speaking skills even though i can speak english i had poor grammar.
There have been many similarities and differences between eighth and ninth grade. One similarity is expecting to get homework, because no matter what school you go to or how much work you do in class, you will always get a lot of homework. Although there are some days where you get lucky and don't receive any homework. One thing that I would advise it staying on top of your work and never waiting until the last minute to decide to do your assignments or homework. It is very stressful and you have to rush so you don't turn in the best work that you possibly can.
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.
Honestly, this may surprise you, but honestly, I am sad to leave the middle school. I have had many good memories in my times at the middle school, but I have also had some not so good memories. Even though I dread coming to school everyday, the teachers, the staff members, and the students make it a lot better. The best memories I have had at the middle school deal with Cougar News, Yearbook, and Junior Honor Society.
Every student starting middle school has a conflict in making new friends the first days of school. Me myself also had problems making new friends because I was very shy. Fortunately I had one of my friends from elementary school. Although I'd love to tell you the way I made friends I changed over the year to survive middle school.
How did middle school change me? Middle school changes people, people lose friends in middle school, and people learn that a good life isn’t just handed to them. I learned this lesson to. And not only by my teachers,for example ,my soccer coach. He taught me that if I don’t work hard for a place on the team, and if i didn’t I might not even play at all.
This is a quality that you will not only need to survive middle school but life itself, so we better start sharpening those skills now don’t you think? First tip have your paperwork organized, by which I mean with every worksheet, brochure, handout, and permission slips you get you need momentarily place it in your binder and in the right subject category. This will come in handy in the future because you won 't lose any important papers and you’ll also have a need and clean binder and backpack. memorize your new schedule, In middle school the most problem kids had had is transferring from one class to another, so this second tip will be very beneficial for you so you 're switching from between classes would be as smooth as possible.
The school work was a huge difference from elementary school. Teachers expected more of you and that seemed to be the biggest change. The homework load grew significantly between the two stages and this seemed to be where the ability to push through hard times was tested. My hard work ethic in school was forged through this tough load. The morals of growing up as my own human being were also tested.
The new school year means there will be many new things such as, electives teachers, students schedules and lunch times and much more. Many students have said the change to eighth grade is drastic and that the transition is difficult. Some students disagree and say being the oldest is exciting and they can't wait until High School.
The bells ring, and the hallways are flooded like the Mississippi River. This school year has a great deal of changes compared to to last year. Last year I was a fifth grader, now I am a sixth grader. There are more changes than I expected coming from fifth grade to sixth grade. The changes I have experienced has made sixth grade more enjoyable than fifth grade.
The first day of middle school for me was both terrifying and exciting. I made a lot of new friends within the year. I remember the first day very well. I had woke up at 5;30 a.m. I was extremely tired.
There will be a lot of tutoring opportunities if you are struggling with a subject. Also, know your teachers and coaches are there for you. The social life in high school will change drastically over the years. The friends you have now 90% of the time won’t be the friends you end up with.
