Before I started sixth grade I had to make a tough decision. The public middle school starts at sixth grade but the catholic school continues through sixth grade, so forcing me to choose where I was going to go. I ended up staying at St. Joseph's for the graduation ceremony and continue with my class. Later in middle school it was weird to start at seventh grade and I felt like I had to catch up to find my friends.
Middle school was also where I did a 360 change physically and mentally. Physically I got contacts to replace my glasses and I got to dress in whatever I wanted, not my dreaded school uniform. Mentally in elementary school I was very shy, seemed to get upset over the smallest things, and not have good friends. The middle school was my chance to change and I became happier by not fretting over the details and being open to new ideas and friends.
Kaitlyn van Asselt, Shanyn Boese, and Ashtynn Unruh were my first friends in middle school and have remained best friends since. Kaitlyn and

Luckily my family’s room was in the middle which meant just half a football field to either side of the ship. It took the full vacation for me to finally figure out which side of the ship was front and back. There were 12 floors on the ship and our room was on the 7th floor with a balcony view.
The food. I am pretty sure I gained ten pounds on the food alone while on the cruise, no joke. There were two restaurants by the main pool, two side cafes, a huge buffet, a pizza parlor by the back pool, and a marvelous formal dining room. The two restaurants by the pool were Guy’s Burgers and a burrito/taco bar. The pizza parlor by the back pool served pizza 24/7 and the slices were almost a foot long. The formal dining was my favorite and I always wanted to eat dinner in there, much to my family’s dismay. I ate lobster and prime rib and some of the best desserts including warm apple and a full cherry
The cabins are pretty nice for by the beach. There are eight beds total, and there are 5 cabinets that could hold many things like bags and stuff. Then there were 8 drawers for shoes that came out out from under the bed. The mattresses were plastic, but they weren't bad. My favorite part of the cabins was the view, from the cabin called MIRAMAR there was the most amazing view of the ocean. Then there are the bathrooms. The bathrooms are like a cleaner version of public restrooms.
I once had a friend named, Kailee. She was actually my best friend all through junior high, and partially through high school. She was someone I could trust, and someone I could always have a good time with. She currently lives in my hometown, Sioux Falls, and shares the same interests as I do: traveling, fashion, makeup. She was like a sister to me, until our relationship became more costly than
Middle Childhood is a distinct period of development where a child develops physically, cognitively and social-emotionally. Between the school years of 3 and 7, children begin to gain an understanding of themselves in comparison to others, learn large amounts of information, manage their behaviour and also develop self-concepts and self-esteem. (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010.)
Throughout my life, I had always received recognition for being very agile and quick. My first day of Middle School consisted of the track and field coach attempting to persuade me to join the school’s athletics program. I had previously never been apart of an athletics team, and was willing to take advantage of the opportunity. Throughout my three years of middle school, I was the one consistent member of the school’s track and field team and had an overall successful personal record. Coaches from opposing school would praise me leaving me feeling very confident about myself.
The transition between elementary school to middle school can affect the way that adolescents mature mentally and cause them to think more about their identity and where they fit in the world. The development of an individual’s personal identity
Sanchez, that is because in middle school the system is completely different compared to elementary school. Transitioning to middle school was a big challenge in of itself, for the first time in my school life I didn 't just have one class to go to and stay there for the whole day instead I had eight classes to go to in a span of eight hours. I had to organize my time in school and outside of school to be able to keep up. The work got harder, the grading policies toughen up, and the teachers didn 't have enough time to help me (Dweck 57). Another thing that made transitioning to middle school difficult was because instead of being in a classroom with one set of students, every class had different students that I didn 't know, all ranging with various intellects. Most of my friends were super clever, when we got our first report card most of them had straight A 's while I had a mix of A 's and B 's and C 's. As soon as I saw their grades I immediately shriveled up, made up excuses to friends about why I didn 't get straight A 's like them. I said things like “the teacher should have bumped me up a few points or the teacher has something against me.” I was able to handle myself adequate enough for a few months but eventually I just got tired of having to give up my time to do my homework and study when I could be playing video games. My fixed mindset led me to make up
Middle school was a amazing experience, for me anyway. I, myself have changed tremendously from the beginning of 6th grade to the end of 8th grade. Not just in appearance either, on the inside as well.
6th grade, 6th grade was a very insisting year mainly because I was new to this whole middle school thing. In 6th grade I met a really good friend of mine that I would continue to be friends with though middle school, his name was jj. Me and jj meet in 6th grade, we had the same homeroom. JJ and I would continue to carry each other to the end of 6th grade. Also in 6th I had the best homeroom teacher, Let's just call her Mrs.steelers. Mrs.steelers and I had a great bond, we both loved the steelers. Mrs.steelers would continue to guide me to victory in the 6th grade.
Some may ask why is life hard. Life is an amazing thing and we shouldn’t take the greatness of it for granted. Today you are going to hear a story about a young teenagers life that has been hiding stuff for his family. This young boy in the story makes it through the struggle he is going through. This is something we all have to do keep our head up and keep going no matter what.

The living quarters for the upper class were lavish, with everything from fireplaces to private bathrooms. A first class room was extremely large with access to the decks, and had all the comforts of home. These rooms were located on the top of the ship, each with their own personal servants.
At my church, one had to be in seventh grade to attend our youth group service. I could not wait to going into junior high so I could hang out with the teenagers and talk about actual teen issues and how The Bible tells us to handle them. The summer before seventh grade our church had new
Kristi and I were given the key to our room. OUR room. Thank god our parents had decided to get a third room just for us. Unfortunately, it was in a middle hallway, which meant no windows. But on a boat like this, who needed windows?? We got to the door, Level 3--Room 3053, and our bags were sitting neatly outside the doorway. One swipe of the card key in the door and we threw the bags in. Time to explore the rest of the surroundings.
I’m going to skip first grade because I don’t remember it very well and just go straight to second grade. Second grade was a blast! My teacher was Mr. Goodining and I was still attending school at Mae Richardson. He was the best second grade teacher in the entire universe! My grandma...
After being with the same twenty students for eight years, I entered middle school along with nearly 400 other students. Middle school became a turning point in my life, and I knew I had to depend on myself if I wanted to achieve my goals. I kept my grades up and continued to excel in my honors classes.
