“The wisdom of admitting your weakness and correcting them through continuous learning means leadership.” – A. James. When I read this aphorism it immediately clicked with me because this is something I had to learn to do to become a good leader. A leader isn’t someone who bosses people around to do things that will just benefit them.. A leader is someone who learns from their weaknesses and inspires others to better themselves.…
Middle school can be an odd and rough time for kids, as they change from being sheltered youth to responsible young adults. I failed miserably at handling that transition. The classes taught in middle school were supposed to be easy, especially now that I look in retrospect. Yet, I regularly brought home B’s and low A’s, at best, on my report card. I had barely challenged myself in middle school, if at all.…
The differences between high school and middle school are great in number. The differences make the transition extremely difficult for some, and for others the changes are welcomed. In the end, both high school and middle school are just small bridges on the path of life, that will undoubtedly contribute to where a person will…
In my opinion, school startings will continue to be a serious problem unless you make middle schools start later. Teenagers tend to have troubles falling asleep at the time there supposed to. They have phones witch tend to make them stay up all night. Teenagers chat with their friends or even watch something on their phone. When teens tend not to get eight to ten hours of sleep it could create huge problems.…
Have you ever had to adjust to something new? Well coming over from the elementary school to the middle school was a big change for me. Although the rules and format is similar the expectations are raised to great strengths. The benefits of coming over is that you get more freedom with choices. Although the transition from the elementary was different it was for the…
Leaving elementary and entering junior high can be tough for everyone. There are several things that can make this transition easier. The first being organization, next good study habits, and the interaction with other classmates. Understanding these three things will make middle school a better place. I survived, you can too.…
Everyone probably has at least one fond memory of their middle school years. My best memories are all of the great teachers I have had, all of the friends I’ve made over the years, and all of the fun things we’ve done in this school. I think that the teachers may be one of the best parts of the middle school. They are always pushing me to be my best and help me when I need it. I believe some the best teachers I’ve had over the years are Mr. Lishego, Mrs. Firmstone, Mrs. Hackney, Mr. Mackenzie, and Mrs. Kelly.…
My first 6 weeks in Middle School have been great. So far It has been very fun and academic here. I have met new friends in 6th grade and 7th grade. We have talked about the Bible a lot, how we have a destiny and how God has plans for us. To know God more he will help me throughout the school year, he will help me have better listening skills, to have confidence in myself, to learn about the past.…
My father likes to call middle school the “armpit of his education.” Middle school can be like a roller coaster because it has ups and downs, uncomfortable situations, and things that make you want to throw up. The first day of seventh grade was scary but boring. But, by the second day I loved middle school. I loved the variety of people, my electives and Flex.…
High School and Middle School Days Should Start Later Should middle school and high school days start later in the day? In my opinion, I don't think it should. The school day should not change their time later in the day. There may be really good pros to the idea, but there are also plenty of cons for delaying the school start times. These cons can affect both students and the teachers.…
Middle school was hard for me not because of the awkward phases everyone goes through during that time, although I did have a fair share of those, it was because during that time I was bullied by my parents to act more feminine and appropriate to my gender. Growing up with mostly boys as my playmates I didn’t turn out as feminine as society would’ve liked, don’t get me wrong I did like wearing dresses and playing with baby dolls form time to time however my family seemed to find a problem with my behavior, I didn’t act appropriately as a female, according to them at least. I would run around with my friends playing in the dirty streets instead of helping my mother in the kitchen or sitting idly during family gatherings. This continued until…
Some kids might find starting middle school to be a very stressful time and some might find starting middle school to be the best learning experience or a living hell. Natalia Gonzalez was only 10 years old when she started middle school. Starting 6th grade was very new to her, there were plenty of things to get used to including, , being in a school that goes up to 8th grade, having activities with the older kids, and teachers are more strict with turning in your homework and might not be as lenient as they were in elementary school. Natalia was known as the shy, quiet, and intelligent little girl who always kept a smile on her face no matter what she was going through. Natalia was vey fortunate enough to have some of her good friends…
I liked how we could move around to classes instead of staying in one class for the whole day. The first few days I felt like I was part of a cattle drive and I was a little cow. The next year, I was now a 6th grader.…
Coming in to senior year, I thought it would last a life time. In the blink of an eye, I was already ¾ of the way through the year not knowing what had happened. I was always told that it goes by fast and I didn’t believe anyone when they said that. But I'm here to tell you that it is one hundred percent true.…
One out of every 10 students in middle school have showed a tremendous improvement in their homework activities, and children turn better quality of homework to their teachers. Also, children have more patience and focus more on completing tasks during school hours (After School Opportunities).…
