1. My Accomplishments In Middle School
I have several notable accomplishments, most of them are of academics. Some of the awards/accomplishments that I can recall ever since I was in
middle school are: First position on spelling contest, department award for the most Helpful student, Student of the quarter, Presidential award for
educational excellence (Gold Seal), 4.0 Honor roll, Indian Classical dance, Achieve3000 state winner, department award for "Excellence in English
Language Acquisition," and Academic Excellence Lettering Award. Among all these awards and recognition, I consider Achieve3000 to be the greatest
because it was a state level competition and was moderately competitive to win. In the Achieve3000 program, basically, an individual has to compete

2. My Experience At Middle School
In middle school, 5th to 8th grade, I endure multiple adjective to describe my experience in middle school. While in Middle School, I struggle with
my appearance which has stayed as an adult. For I always look at myself and all the flaws in my features, as my family members and/or friends
state my beauty features, I will brushed them off by stating the negative feature I visually observe. Until recently, I've overcome my inability of
reading in public and/or to my peers. As my cousin passed away tragically, his mother (my Aunt) asked if I will read his poem to her and a group
of 50 strangers. She knew my fear of public speaking, she also knew my dream of becoming a teacher and starting to a career as a substitute
teacher. Therefore, she knew I needed to overcome the fear of speaking. I am extremely pleased with myself to speak clearly and to have the
strength and encouragement of my family to overcome my greatest fear with a poem in dedication to my beloved cousin. In 5th grade, my
insecurity resulted in myself being bullied by others for my appearance which I expressed still affects myself as an adult. When conduction

3. My First Year Of Middle School Essay
Walking through the double doors of school and to my very first locker, I took a breath and realized this was a new stage in my life. A new stage in life
meant new people, experiences, and problemsâ especially problems. I wore questionably clean, wrinkled clothes, ready to start my first year of middle
school. The amount of kids in my class multiplied tenfold with over 250 students. The year prior, I had plenty of friends, and couldn't have been
happier. However, with the additional 200 students, and problems at home flourishing, I never realized until then how alone I actually was. While
walking to my first class I caught several glares from different classmates, some of whom used to be good friends of mine. Once I got to my seat, I
quickly sat down and pulled my worn out hoodie over my face, shutting the world out. Although the world seemed so cold, things weren't always
like this. The years leading up to this moment were much different. Anyone that met me knew I was always a social butterfly. Wherever I went, I
had a friend to talk to. If I didn't have a friend to talk to, I would make some. Making friends was as easy as breathing and just came naturally to me.
My ability to make friendships had no boundaries. There were many times in my childhood that we went on vacation to Myrtle Beach. Every time we
went on vacation, I insisted on meeting everyone staying near our condo. By the end of the first day staying there, everyone knew my name. We

4. Middle School Education Essay
Young adolescents are experiencing a very critical time in their lives by attempting to discover themselves and determine who they want to be. Middle
school children are extremely diverse, physically, emotionally, and mentally due to the changes they experience during the transescence period. Within
the middle school years, an interest in education is either sparked or neglected, and as a future educator it is my responsibility to encourage a love of
learning through the classes of mathematics and social studies.
To begin with, "during the second decade of life, individuals are assumed to acquire a stable personality, to find their identity, to learn the mechanisms
of adult personal relationships, and to learn to cope with various problem...show more content...
It promotes working together and helps find the best learning strategies and approaches to information. In social studies and math classrooms, it is
crucial for students to design projects together and understand what it means to be part of a team. By introducing them to group work in middle
school, they will be ready for the tasks in high school, college, and the workforce. Not only is it important for the students to collaborate, it is also
essential for teachers to collaborate. If all of the math or social studies teachers get together and share experiences, their ideas will help create the most
effective lessons and activities, that are engaging and beneficial to the students. It should not be limited to just the same subject teachers. The teams of
teachers can create units throughout the year and tie in activities that relate directly to the themed unit. For example, if a team wants to focus on outer
space, the students will study it in science, the math class will work on space word problems, language arts can read a science fiction book, and the
social studies class can focus on events such as the space race. Not only should teachers collaborate within their grade levels, they should also
effectively communicate with elementary and high school teachers. By doing so, middle school teachers will recognize what information the students
should already know and what information they will need to know. With the use of pre and post assessments, teachers will be able to effectively
communicate this

5. Narrative Essay On Middle School
As a child, I never worried about grades since I never really had any competition. Most of the time I was always in the top 5 without any trouble. Then
that changed when I entered middle school.
In elementary, I never bothered to worry about my grades. Being entertained and amused were my priorities back then. Even so, my grades were quite
high. But then again, learning basic multiplication wasn't complex. Most people in my class did not bother to worry about their grades and slacked off
quite a bit. That made it easier for me to get the top score without any trouble.
In middle school it was completely different. There were more students and a minority of them were very intelligent. There was a handful of students
that got straight A's.

6. My Life Of My Middle School Years
My middle school years was not a very easy chapter in my life, but the past three years have defined me a lot. I'm an iceberg type of person; you
can see a little bit of me on the surface, but the real part, the bigger part of me, is hidden. I don't show all my colors at once. I keep myself clamped
shut, too cautious to share myself with other people. I've learned early in life that some people's stories just briefly entwined with mine before we part
ways forever. I learned that everything in life in temporary, and that made me hesitate to get to know people wellâafter all, what's the point when you
just have to leave? Now, I know better. These three years have really shaped who I am. Even though everything isn't permanent, it's the moments, the
little snapshots that count. Life is short; moments are fleeting, but memories last forever in the book of life. It's a journey, and every moment has a
significant impact on me. My theme is "Page by Page", which means that I am writing my own story. Whatever has happened through these years, I
have chosen my own path. We are the authors of our own life, and I'm just at the beginning. Page by page, we create the life that we live in. Even
through all the hardships, my middle school years have been altogether the best experience I could ever have.
In sixth grade, I was almost meek, preferring to stay in the shadows and read a book than converse with other students. Everything was so strange, and
at first, it was quite overwhelming.

8. Recess Essay
When I was a lot younger and in school, I thought that recess was the best part. I got to see all my friends, meet new friends, play games, and just
straight up have fun without a worry in the world. Most of those friendships that I made then are still going strong to this day. How can there be any
harm in that? Just a bunch of kids having fun being kids. Recently it continuing to have recess in school has become a very large debate in education
currently. With my expertise in education, I strongly believe that it is crucial to the development of young students that recess is continued as a part of
everyday activity. One benefit of recess contributes straight to the kid's school work. A study by Caitlin Brez, a professor at Indiana...show more

Several people know that one way to prevent or fix frustration would be to take a break. For young children this break is recess, even in some of my
classes we take breaks. Whether we leave the classroom or not and just play our phones, it can be very beneficial to take your mine off what you are
working on every occasionally, and return to it later. One aspect that is most likely obvious is the physical activity that comes with recess. Physical
activity is a large part of life that many people have neglected and have discovered the consequences of this neglect. Whether it was all the health
complications, like for instance obesity, or lack of fitness. In one study, by Heather Erwin, a professor in the department of Kinesiology and Health
Promotion at the University of Kentucky, they looked at the amount of physical activity students did with recess incorporated into their school day
compared to the amount that other students without that time for recess. They found that students with recess in their school day had larger number of
steps compared to those students who did not have recess in their school day. this study proves the point that recess in schools provides more physical
activity than if there was none. This physical activity can be very important to some students, whether they know

the fans because they were loud and the students would get really distracted. I know that sounds crazy. I thought it would be the best years of my

Middle school was a lot of fun for me, I met a lot of new people and lots of new girls. It was also kinda tough in the beginning with switching classes
and things and having so many different teachers and lots of homework from different classes and having to remember the room numbers of each class
but eventually I got used to everything. My first day in middle school didn't seem that much different than elementary school only thing that was
different was that we switched classes but we had our teachers telling us where to go for our next classes so it wasn't hard. On like the third day of
middle school I was very confused because we had all the big 7th and 8th graders there and the teachers weren't helping us and telling bus where to
go anymore so I would be late to class and my teachers would be mad. It was hard for me to transition to having several teachers instead of one

This is the most difficult step for schools, however, when working together, with urgency and a mindset to improve, total transformation will occur. As
we review and synthesize data of a district for planning school improvement, the following information is needed to access and determine the needs of a
school. First, a thorough analysis of performance data must be reviewed to see how school districts measure up with state and federal accountability.
During this process, it is very important that schools focus the performance indicators that will guarantee growth and success. School teams must refer
to the districts mission and vision to guide the planning process. The performance indicators will provide data that will be beneficial in creating
improvement strategies. So, after careful evaluation of the data, the next step would be to plan effective methods and strategies that will improve
student achievement. Moreover, this plan should include needs, demographics and opportunities for students to be successful. Additionally, the
baseline data is important information to include in the improvement plan.
Data is always the best resource for trying to improve student achievement. The data will help guide continuous improvement of a plan. There are four
types of data that will be beneficial to any team during the planning phase of the school improvement process.

Why should students go to school?
There are several reasons why kids need to go to school but to me, the top three reasons are getting an education helps you go farther in life, it's
required by the state that you go till you reach a certain age, and it will help you learn social skills and help you be comfortable to talking to people.
Although students may not like going to school, it benefits them in the long run. It is important for students to go to school to get an education. Even

If you ever went into a business where you had to do a presentation on a piece of work you've been working on or if you came up with a new idea
that you thought could help your business, you would most likely have to present the information in front of your boss and coworkers. Having
social skills could play a big role in your presentation because if you was not comfortable talking in front of a crowd, then you could either: freeze
up while talking, talk too fast cause you're so nervous and want to get the presentation over with, your face could turn red, etc. But, if you had
social skills and were use to talking in front of a group of people then you will be comfortable presenting your project with no worries. Also by
socializing students can make friends. By making friends school could also be more enjoyable. You will have friends to eat lunch with; friends to
hang out with on the weekends and you will have friends in your classes so they will be less boring. If you went to a school where you didn't have
any friends or where you didn't like anyone, then you will not enjoy the activities you may do in class and you may want to change schools to find
kids that you do like and will enjoy being around. By having social skills it will help you talk to people and make friends.
Students may not like going to school but, it is for the best. By going to school students can get an education and get a job or go to college and

13. Middle school vs High school
1Many people endure three years of middle school and four years of high school. It is an eventful time for children between 11 to 18 years old. During
the adolescent years there are hormonal changes, environmental changes and emotional developmental gains. Middle school is the beginning of
transitioning towards independence under the constant eye of adults. During high school they are challenged with realâworld challenges that help them
transition into adulthood. The behaviors of these individuals change as the factors change around them. For every person, the experience of high
school or middle school may be different. Either way, both have the same goal of wanting the student to succeed and evolve. Even so, the similarities
and differences vary. Middle school and high school are alike in the areas of receiving an education, socializing with others, and having teachers while
different in areas of maturity, difficulty in work, and independence.
2Middle school and high school are alike in the aspect that individuals are receiving an education. Both groups go to learn many different subjects that
vary depending on the student. Either way it is to ensure that each student is gaining an education for future endeavors. Both groups have many
teachers that they encounter each day. That is a prime characteristic of school which truly makes a school function. The teachers teach, grade, and
guide the students to help them create a firm understanding.

After this accident every time Rontavious would have something rude to say I would ignore him and that made him upset and he learned to leave

up as the baby in the house I received everything I wanted and didn't have to share anything Because everything went my way when I said so and
nobody could change that. Selfish is one word that could have described me at a younger age. When nobody believed in me Ms.Scott took a chance
and brought me under her wing and taught me it was acceptable to embrace my feelings and emotions. For example if someone needs a pencil and
you have one to share gladly offer it to them because it will build on your reputation and if you don't have that you don't have anything. Kindness will
take you very far in life. Take Dr.Suess TheGrinch Stole Christmas into consideration, the Grinch was foul and disgusting because no one ever loved
him, showed him any kindness and that slowly but surely ate him from the inside out. Cindy Loue was the towns innocent sweetheart and she was also

Describe yourself as a student and also your aspirations for the future. Please include examples from your personal academic and nonâacademic

A sophomore at Downtown Magnets High School, I demonstrate passion in my education, ambition in fulfilling my personal and academic goals, and
am an explorative student. My passion for learning is the result of my mindset, in that aside from finding education a necessity, it is enjoyable,

builds upon my ability to critically think, present data or information, and understand higherâlevel math at a rapid pace. In particular, it is the ability to
solve realâworld situations and the underlying mystery mathematicians have yet to solve that intrigues me to continue learning. The class expects
much of me, but I am aware that it is preparing me for collegeâ and universityâlevel math while providing me with the skills to pursue a career in

School Safety: Protecting the Students
For many students a positive academic environment is increasingly harder to obtain. This is mainly due to their lack of safety. Whether it be inside the

Unfavorable situations at home, psychological stability, physical dangers and violence all contribute to this evident shortage. There have been
investigations on how organizations, teachers and parents collaborate together in today's society to influence the students understanding of safety in

And with not caring about safety, leads to not caring of academics. As stated in the NEA article, This positive academic environment begins with safe
families and safe communities, statistically, schools continue to be one of the most secure places for our children. When that is taken away from a
student, they have no drive anymore to follow through with their education. A lot of the time weaponry is involved. Children find guns in parent's
drawers, or just while they are playing at their friend's house. Older brothers and sisters who might be involved in gangs might have weapons lying
around or even feel its cool to show off to their younger siblings and their friends.
However, some of the worst violence is not weaponry. It is the harassment from student to student. Psychological stability is a big issue today when it
comes to safety. Peer pressure has left children feeling the need to concentrate more on the popular things to do, then what is best for the student; an
education. In fact, Hazler, Hoover, and Oliver (1996) reported that threeâfourths of the school students they surveyed indicated that they experienced
harassment and bullying to such an extent that they suffered academic, personal, and social difficulties (Hernandez). Bullying can impact a child when
