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. Although I was convinced that I was the happiest that I could ever be, others, such as my older sister, Emma, were not as happy with the person that I was becoming. It all began when the three most popular girls in the eighth grade invited me to a sleepover. I was surprised, nervous, and excited because I knew that this is what I had desired and I did …show more content…
As they responded with supportive messages that accused my sister of being a selfish person, I realized that they were the selfish ones. I quickly ran to my sister and hugged her. “I am so sorry!” I exclaimed. “I see now how rude I have been and I feel terrible for not spending time with you or my other close friends that I left behind. You have always been there for me and I do miss you.” Although I was a little disappointed that I would be losing my new popular status, I was happy that I realized my wrongdoings and spoiled, selfish behavior before I had lost my sister, who is my true best friend. I began to distance myself from the clique and was so glad that my old friends accepted my apologies and forgave me. I was back to my old, kind self and I was surrounded by lovely and supportive friends and family. I sacrificed popularity for true friendship and I am happy that I learned this important lesson. Friends are temporary, but my sister is

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…

Elementary Year Research Paper

In elementary school, one of my favorite years would have to be the first grade. I was 6 years old. I was in a class with some people who I am still friends with to this day. I'm not really sure why I would choose that as one of my favorite grades considering I can't remember much of it other than trying to leave during math a lot. Maybe it is because most of the other grades did not really matter to me at all. I had a really good teacher and some good people in my class. I think that is…
