End of the Year
I have to start off saying that I am very sad and apprehensive about the end of my middle school career, and the start of high school. In have a lot of frustration and happiness about the years I spent in middle school. This past year, I got the opportunity to express my thoughts and anything that I wanted to be heard in any other way. I could have told someone, or I could have written it on my blog, which allows the world to see it. It relives me when other people hear about my problems and it taught me that there is always someone out there and a way to tell someone something without being embarrassed so never hold anything in. This is a very important lesson that I believe everyone should learn, and to learn it in such a unique way which was a very good opportunity to learn by.
My eighth grade year was such an exciting and important year for me. I have to say that this was one of my best years in middle school. The teachers on the team helped everyone and looked past everyone’s problems to teach. They allowed a lot of humor into everyday class time and everything was so relaxed and not tense so everything went smooth. My teachers were also very important to me. All of them for all the subjects were very understanding. But everywhere in my middle school career were not as good as my eighth grade year.
Last year, in seventh grade, my year was not as successful. I struggled with a lot of talking during class time, which got me into trouble with the teachers, and soon got my parents involved. Everyone in their life is going to experience a year or period of time like this. It was a very stressful year for me on that team. The teachers were by far, not my favorite, and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. The teachers were just not happy people and everything was so serious. I did not get a long with them, and it is not a very good feeling to not get along with the teachers you have to spend a year with. Even though that was not a good year, it also taught me a very important lesson. You might not always agree with people, but that doesn’t mean that you will not be successful with them. I didn’t let our relationship together affect my grades, and my grades were my top priority. Don’t let people get in the way of what really matters, and that certain team really helped me understand that.
In sixth grade, I also had a very successful year. My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Harkawik, was such a nice lady. She really enjoyed me, and gave me student of the month. It was a great start to my middle school career. Besides my teachers, my friends were a big part of my middle school career. I met a lot of new people during middle school, and made me realize that friends are the most important thing in your life. They are always there for you and are very important people that you can talk to in your life.
Again, I am just realizing that my middle school career is now over, and I am very sad about it. Middle school was really important in my life, and though I am sad to leave, I am excited to start a new chapter in life. I want to thank everyone who made my middle school career enjoyable and gave me the opportunity to enjoy this time in my life!
