Reflection Essay On Middle School

[Document subtitle]

There comes a time in every modern day preteen’s life when they have to go through this traumatizing, dramatic, and awful experience called Middle School. It’s one of the more challenging transitions I’ve ever faced. We go through hormonal changes, class changes, freedom changes and overcome new experiences. Middle school is that place where they throw you to transition through that awkward stage. I find it to be absolute hell and a general pain. But it’s within all the hell, drama, trauma, pain and crap that we all take that prepare us for high school and lets us truly find ourselves. Let’s go way back to 2010 I had just gotten out of this excellent place full of effervescence, easy work, little people, racist people, …show more content…

In the beginning of the year we had a field trip to the bowling alley and since the other group left before us me and a teacher took his car and he took me to the wrong bowling ally and left me there for hours, my mom came and got me and she was furious and she basically “talked” to principal about it. Later around second quarter we found the lunch lines were way to long and the sandwiches were moldy and ice cold so we’d go upstairs and I had installed halo on every computer they had and we would sneak and just play halo until the bell, eventually we got caught by a teacher that was walking by and we all got I.S.S. This year I quit science Olympiad and because of more teacher drama I just didn’t care anymore. Nothing really exciting happened for the majority of the second to third quarter, but we all did get closer friends and we laughed joked around and it was great but teachers were horrible. In the end of third quarter I was sick of teachers accusing me of stuff so I stood out and did my own thing one day the teacher told me to move and I hadn’t done anything wrong and I pulled a Rosa Parks and didn’t move so she yelled and sent me to I.S.S. On my way out that day one kid said “ha ha bye” and I replied “F**K you!” so he told on me and I got written up twice that day and I dint really like that class that year by the end of that day I hated them even more. When I got in the assistant principal’s office I was surprised my old new P.E coach Mr. Jeeter was the assistant Principal and he lectured me on what I did wrong (frankly I knew what I did wrong and I just didn’t care). So he said “I have to call your parents” and with the world’s most not caring attitude I told him to tell him I said hi. By the end of the year all teachers hated me I knew every kid in seventh and eighth grade

    457 Words  | 1 Pages

    From 2011-2017, 20.5% of children from 12 to 19 years old were obese. Supporters believe this is so because of unhealthy eating choices and not getting enough physical activity. The percentage of children with obesity in the United States has more than tripled since the 1970s. Today about one in five school children ages six through 19 have obesity. Not having recess in middle school is causing a lot less physical activity and that is causing a higher rate of obesity in America.

  • Why I Hate Reading To Me Essay

    1092 Words  | 3 Pages

    I was a typical 6th grader with a love for social time and hatred towards pointless homework. As I was tapping my foot on my creaking wooden desk with my book opened pretending to read, Mr. Daniels was watching over me like a bird that just gave birth to chicken eggs. I had a feeling she was going to ask me a question about what I was reading. I realized from that point on to always trust my instincts. Mrs. Daniels tall toothpick shaped body leaned over and asked me to summarize the first chapter in front of the whole class. Due to not even beginning to read the first page I told her I did not even know where to begin. Since I was not prepared for class, not participating, and being rude about my task at hand I received a punishment. My punishment was every week I had to write a summary in my own words about the chapter I had read. My eyes rolled in the back of my head so far I didn't know if they would ever go back to normal. I knew my life was over at this

  • Reflective Essay On Public School

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Two words: public school. This brief statement was the response I gave when asked what the greatest social and psychological experience of modern time was. Public school is probably the most hair brained and barbaric concept ever put forth. In my experience, you take a group of around one hundred and twenty kids stemming from different backgrounds, social classes, races, political beliefs, and sexual orientations, lock them in a classroom with adults who grew up in completely different generations and then you ask them to learn together. That has to be the most unbelievable and wacked out concept man has ever created, and yet, it works beautifully.

  • The Middle School System And Development Of Young Adolescents

    1363 Words  | 3 Pages

    Young students today that are going through the middle school system are between the ages of 10 to 15 years old. They are going through a crucial stage of life in which many alterations occur such as emotional, physical, and mental changes. All of these changes that they must go through are essential to develop into healthy, fully functional, and self-actualized people. As a future educator, I need to see that middle school students are unique; they are too old to be considered children and too young to be considered adolescents. Middle level professionals have certain roles and responsibilities as it relates to the development of young adolescents. We must present ourselves as role models for the students and have the responsibility to make sure that as they progress through middle school they have enriched, meaningful learning experiences through challenging, exploratory, integrative, and relevant curriculum. As a future educator, I need to understand and recognize these changes, strengths, weaknesses, and diversities and be able to plan accordingly and appropriately for them in the classroom. I have developed my own philosophy for teaching at the middle level, based on this evidence and my understanding about the unique characteristics of middle level adolescents that will help mold me into a great middle school educator!

  • Developmental Overview

    1174 Words  | 3 Pages

    All middle school students are at different developmental stages--some students have matured significantly, while others still have a long way to go. Hunt, Wiseman, and Bowden conclude that, in looking at attitudes and behaviors, some middle schoolers are “childlike,” while others are “deeply involved in the complex lifestyle characteristics of teenagers (1998, p. 57). They also establish that middle school students are in a time of “significant transition,” a time that some struggle with, while others thrive on this change. (Hunt, Wiseman, & Bowden, 1998, p. 60-61). The middle school age group is typically distinguished as children and teens ages 10 to 14. This age range was not distinguished until the 1980s (Hunt, Wiseman, & Bowden, 1998, p. 58), which coincides with further development in the middle school (in comparison to junior high school). These students are in a stage coined by Donald Eichhorn called “transesence” (Manning & Bucher, 2012, p. 5).

    According to the famous actress Zooey Deschanel, “Nothing could be as hard as middle school.” My three years at Leslie H. Walton Middle School were full of excitement and learning, but what Mrs. Deschanel stated is completely accurate. Walton, without a doubt, had been part of the hardest years of my life. Finding out my identity and where I belonged was the epitome of middle school. The values I took back from Walton Middle School were predominantly to be myself and to take on every challenge with passion and effort.

  • Solitude Definition Essay

    1437 Words  | 3 Pages

    The school was in the basement where I was told that I was only at a fifth-grade level. My worksheets had little fish on them, those fish were the highlight of the dungeon. Each time I was alone, I daydreamed. I would zone off into a place that made me content. Usually, that was a blank room with just flowers in it. I savored every moment I was able to be alone. Sometimes I was compelled to run away just to have solitude, and the consequences were always worth it. I was not allowed to have a phone because the family thought I would “narc” on them. That was their exact reasoning. If you ask me, it was just another torture technique of theirs. As you can imagine spending three years with a different family causes numerous emotions. When everything was said and done, I returned to live with my mother. For the first few months being back at “home” was refreshing. My mother and I have never developed a mother-daughter type bond, and we fought more than we loved. After the first few months of being back at home, everything started to spiral downhill again. I was angry because my family blamed me and not once did anyone ask if I was okay. The anger started building a wall, higher and higher. I couldn’t control it.I left my mother’s

  • Young Adolescents And The Middle School

    1418 Words  | 3 Pages

    Young adolescents can be described as ages 10-15 years old, but it is also considered that adolescence continues until the age of 25. During this time in an adolescent’s life there are many internal and external factors that affect the development of each individual. The influence that an adolescent’s peers, parents, and community have on them can be conflicting and therefore cause stress. Trying to meet the expectations of others during a time where one is going through so many forms of physical, psychological, and cognitive development can be trying for a middle school aged student. They are expected to focus on their education and the expectation of other outside influences while their bodies are growing and developing into an adult body. When development happens differently for these kids it can affect their psychological development if they focus too much on how fast, or slow they are developing in comparison to their peers. Some adolescents may let their peers influence their behaviors creating a problem with how they interact with others, or how they view themselves as a person. The middle school is a place where students are guided through these developmental experiences with the help of their peers, teachers, administrators, parents and community.

  • Middle Childhood Essay

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    Middle childhood is the second developmental phase in the life course. This stage is typically defined in children from ages six through twelve. Like most stages, especially during childhood, there is biological, psychological and sociological development. A key skill acquired at middle childhood is the continuation of forming a sense of self through the relationships with others. During early childhood, the growing infant learns that he or she is no longer attached to their mother and they are an autonomous being. In middle childhood, the child is less influenced by their parents and family as school and community relationships form. Erik Erickson, the psychologist and psychoanalyst, identified this stage of development as the time of industry

    Writing a reflection and a summary of dozens of experiences is very challenging and demanding. I cannot count how many ups I had, yet I cannot deny the fact that I had some downs where I could transform them to ups. The year was full of challenges, excitement, fear and lessons. Each Wednesday I had mixed emotions. Every time I came to school I had the same fear and heartbreaks. In my reflection I am willing to compare between Adan at the beginning of the year and new Adan I became.

    You know, it is really strange how quickly time passes, after spending my whole childhood wishing I was an adult, now here we are and it's a little hard to grasp. It feels like just yesterday I was standing here in the same position at eighth grade graduation. Ahh, middle school, such a joyous time for all of us, free of maturity and not a care in the world. The biggest decisions I ever had to make then was deciding which group to stand with at passing time and choosing which shirt from my extensive collection of Stussy and No Feat apparel to wear. We were all naive to the danger that lurked just around the corner. We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.
