During my years at Kirby Middle School, I acquired knowledge and experience. My years in middle school are the easiest years of my life so far. In junior high, homework was scarce and after school learning was easy. As a result of this, I was a member of many clubs, including: science team, champs and tame. My first day in high school was quite overwhelming. I met many new people and attended new classes. I found out that in high school, the general expectations my teachers were higher. I also found
understanding Math and English concepts in middle school. Many days I would come home and ask my mother for help with my homework and she would not help me because she did not know how to do it herself. At the time I just though she just did not want to help me, but as I grew up I realised that it was honestly because she hardly spoke English and did not stay in school long enough to learn the curriculum being taught to me. Many days
primarily focused on the virtues of hope, will, and purpose. Since all young children are extremely dependent on their parents or guardians, it’s no surprise that I relied heavily on my parents for support during this time period. In terms of school experiences, I attended preschool and kindergarten. On my first day of preschool, my mom told me that I was very anxious to leave her. However, I ended up acclimating well to preschool, and I enjoyed playing with the other children. In terms of hobbies
Middle School was supposed to be a place where you make friends, learn, and figure things out about yourself. I definitely did some learning, but let’s just say it was not the exact way I expected it to be. Now as a Mentor, working in the same school I attended, I realize how much fun I’d have in Middle School if i were a student now. It’s a different generation, a generation some say is completely lost but observing the way these students interact with each other is positively different then it
grade level which means being in different building or schools. We started off with pre-school, elementary, middle school, high school, then college. As the years go by we start to mature more and getting experiences so we each year we go to another grade level, until we graduate high school, because there is not grade levels in college. We spend most grade school years with people we have know for years back, but once you graduate high school, everyone goes their separate ways. People leave the
schooling system in Japan includes elementary school lasting six years, middle school lasting three years, high school lasting three years, and university schooling lasting four years. Education is a mandatory law only for the nine years of elementary and middle school. Ninety eight percent of students however go on to high school.

something challenging we set ourselves up to fail. Carol Dweck was born October 17, 1946 she’s professor of psychology at Stanford University. Dweck is known for her work on the mindset psychological trait. Everyone wants a child that does well in school, teaching your child to have the right mindset for success is critical to helping your child succeed. I agree with Dweck’s theory because it's about education and I believe in this world education matters and everyone has the right to get
next day. All teens do is sit in their seats, bored out of their minds looking towards the weekend or their next class. Sometimes middle school students need a break from school. Although as students, teachers, and even parents say that school is for learning some middle schoolers need a break throughout the day or a day in a week to go out and enjoy the fresh air. Middle schoolers should get one day throughout the week, possibly Fridays, to go out and have recess or a time to go out and have free
Life was less than desirable. My parents had just gotten divorced, and I was starting the sixth grade. With middle school comes maturation. With maturation comes emotion and hormones. I was a mess of both. I found myself walking around the halls with no happiness whatsoever. I sought refuge in my music, for the lyrics and poetry spoke to me on a level that no one else understood. One day, I was walking in the hallway during transition, when I noticed a kid my age wearing a shirt of a band that I
and physical appearance including body hair. In middle school my peers would tell me to shave my arms, and I did. Later I decided that what they told me to do was not what I had to do and I stopped shaving my arms. Also people poked fun at me because I had really bad acne in 6th and 7th grade. People would say that they could connect the dots on my forehead. Comments like those really did hurt me even though I tried not to show it. These experiences have shaped the way I react to bullying and the
