Eighth grade Essays

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

you know what you’re working towards, all the effort you put in becomes worth it. It was 2012, it had only been my second year at Brightwood Elementary. My fourth grade class had chosen me to be one of their student council representatives. I had no clue what the responsibilities or purpose of a

As a criminal justice major, I was able to take numerous courses that thoroughly analyzed the many aspects of our country’s prison system. These courses taught me that in a system where oppression is rampant, social injustice will also be prevalent. Particularly, the issues of death by incarceration, racial disparities and the prioritization of punitive measures rather than treatment filled me with an indescribable rage. Consequently, my frustration left me with a sense of disappointment and hopelessness

well-rounded in every way. First off, methods of instruction. All of her methods of instructing were lectured or written and varied throughout each class.

While social media apps such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Youtube offer a space for self-expression and connection, the film primarily highlights

It was my last year at Mary Queen of Peace grade school. I meet the best friends of my life, and played sports for my school and played club soccer. My eighth grade year was the year to have fun and be the oldest kids in the school and have kids look up to you for once. It was the year to see what our futures would look like and what we would do with are lives and where we would go for high school. It was the time of my life to make a decision that would depend on the rest of my life. The part where

March third, 2002, I was born. A low life, little did I know I would be good at fixing things. I would change my own life. I don’t remember much of my younger years, but I do know that I was a rascal and hard to keep up with.

laugh or for attention. I love attention. I love it a lot more than you think I do. So I do anything and everything I can to keep and make friends. Including some incredibly stupid things. If I'm not being a door mat(6th and 7th grade), I'm victimizing myself (7th and 8th grade), or I'm just plain bitchy. I'm always striving for everyone's approval, and I've done questionable things to try and earn it. When it was the popular opinion to do so, I hated Rachel, same for Courtney, Stephanie, Megan, and

I believe in working hard to achieve my goals even if they seem impossible. Freshman year, my number one priority was acing math class for once. My eighth grade math class- Algebra 1, was a little rough. It was the bumpiest road I’ve been on and I wanted to take a detour. One fun thing that came from the class was the party we had. A few kids brought in a smoke machine, a spinning light ball, and snacks. Ah, yes the smell of education, or maybe it was the smoke filling my lungs mixed with stale brownies

As part of ASB, I will be able to work with other students who have similar interests and want to be fellow leaders

smart and I already knew everything I was to supposed to know. Somehow I passed the sixth grade with that mindset, so when I got to seventh grade and had “honors” classes, I hardly knew anything. I would compare myself to everybody else and realize I was not the “smartest” anymore. It was very difficult, my grades were dropping, it was the worst year ever. After that horrible year was over, I went to the next grade,
