Middle school is a tough time for many people, both socially and probably physically. Elementary friendships tend to split, while new ones grow. Along with growing, puberty tends to start somewhere in those three years in middle school and you turn into the awkward sweaty teen you are today. For me, middle school was complicated. I disliked many people and openly expressed it with little to no regret. I never hurt anyone physically though, just rude comments every now and again when certain kids looked my way or talked to me. I still do that every now and again, but its more snarky than rude. But because of the behavior I had in middle school, I didn’t have many friends that I could easily talk to about homework, school, and other activities. I was more of a lone wolf with a few friends, but nothing much. In seventh grade, I did make a few friends, one of which being a nice, quiet girl named Myia Canty. I’m still friends with her today but don’t talk to her as much …show more content…
But oh no, I have proof that Betsy was a pretty cruel person. One day, I was working on a little letter holder out of wood. I had to use the jigsaw, which is a scary thing in my opinion. Since my hands are smaller than most, I had to hold wood a certain way that was closer to the blade. Plus, the machine is very loud, and I hate loud noises. So, I was needless to say, tense while working with this machine and doing my best not to get my fingers clipped by the running blade. I guess Betsy needed something from me, so she decided to scare the living daylights out of me by slapping a hand to my shoulder to get my attention. I ended up breaking the blade on the jigsaw because I had jerked the wood to the right. And I also ruined my project, which I covered in red paint and glue. She was laughing while I was furious. I could have gotten hurt because she wasn’t thinking. What if I did hurt my hand? I bet she would laugh anyway. I’ll be

Narrative Essay On Middle School Life

Middle school is difficult for most; it is a time when popularity is at it’s utmost importance, at least that is how it was for me. It was the beginning of 8th grade and I had promised myself that this was the year that I would become more popular. A few months into the year, I was overcome with joy when the most popular girls in my grade chose to become friends with me. Overtime, we became a sort of clique and despite isolating myself from my other friends, I was blinded by my newfound popularity…

Personal Narrative Essay: The Middle School Man Stealer

The Middle School Man Stealer “Tougher than nails and sweeter than Yoo Hoo”, this is the way my father has described me since I was a little girl. Unlike most girls, I did not have a mother to get me all dolled up and pretty. No one taught me how to “be a lady”, Instead, I was taught to be a strong and intellectual person. As the only girl in our family, being fragile was not an option, and for that I am thankful. Prior to beginning school, I followed my older brother , JB, and his friends like…

My Writing Class Analysis

Before this class, I was a writer because I had to write essays in multiple other classes which helped with my organization and detail configuration. When I was in elementary school I would get really ecstatic when I was going to write an interesting narrative with a nice plot, however, I did not get the motivation as the years went by. When I was in middle school I used to write in a journal, because it would help me organize my thoughts. If I was having a bad day and I didn’t really have anyone…

Fredrick Douglas Equiano's Middle Passage

The Middle Passage was the traveling (often on ships) that slaves had to endure during the 1700s. The triangular trade was a fairly new concept and form of a fair-trading system amongst the three largest continents on the globe: Africa, The New World, and England. Together the agreement allowed Africa to trade slaves for clothes, fur, copper, and beads with England. Next, England traded the slaves for goods discovered and made in the New World. Together, this agreement allowed each country to thrive…

Daniel Felsenfeld's Rebel Music

Felsenfeld’s narrative, “Rebel Music”, he talks about his interaction with classical music within his early to adult life. This appeals to me because I fit quite similarly to the kind of story he tells, but more on the vocal music spectrum of things. The drive of his essay was to dictate how he categorizes himself as a rebel. To me, it brought up how he learned to fall in love with music, the meaning of being a “rebel”, and how it became a passion. When assessing and responding to a narrative discussing…

Ap English Class Reflection

In my high school career, the most interesting course I have taken is AP English Literature and Composition during my Junior year. Being a higher-level course, this class challenged me as a reader, a writer, and a thinker. While we read similar novels to other students around the country, such as The Great Gatsby, Othello, and In The Time of the Butterflies, the way my instructor taught us to apply the readings and lessons to everyday life seemed out-of-the-ordinary. AP English Literature and Composition…

To Kill A Mockingbird Writing Assignment

Semester One In the first semester, reading a novel was challenging for me. It was challenging to read a novel because I never invested so much time in a book. In other classes I would just rely on a partner or friend to catch me up on the story, but this year I really put time to read the novel To Kill A Mockingbird. The timing in class was hard because in other classes I was so used to turning in assignments at anytime but in this class it was a challenge to do my work on time. At the…
