My MQP Experience
Catholic Schools Paragraph

My MQP experience started at the beginning of 6th grade. I was unsure what to expect, as I came from public school. I was unsure as to whether I would make friends easily or not. I wondered if the teachers would be nice and if the students were nice. The reason I came to MQP was to improve my education and faith. It was a tough decision whether to go here for a better education or stick with my public school friends. I spent much time thinking of it, but finally decided I would need a better education in order to prepare for high school and beyond. In the end I am glad that I made the right decision.

At the first day of 6th grade I was extremely nervous. I recognized a few faces from when I shadowed earlier and

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    Starting American school was one of my biggest fears. I always questioned if I was going to be able to make new friends, or even understand the curriculum. I started the second grade in January, which meant I was entering the school year already half way over, making me the odd ball in class. Nonetheless, my classmates were very welcoming and I made friends quickly. I had been worrying about not being able to fit in, but it seemed like I was perfectly with all the great people I had met.…

    Over the summer, with a lot of help from therapy, my anxiety got better. However, as the new school year started, I soon found out that my fears were triggered by change and large crowds. I started my seventh grade at East Garner Magnet Middle School. The school was not bad, it was just that I could not function at such a large school with my anxiety.…

    By Friday of that week we were moved into a small apartment in Oak Grove and starting at Sacred Heart on Monday. I hadn’t eaten since Wednesday from all the stress and tears that I couldn’t make go away no matter what I tried. My first day was all a blur, I rarely ate anymore, attempting to fix what I thought was “wrong with me”. Sixth grade was over and I made some nice friends and thankfully the bullying and name calling stopped but the piercing thoughts stayed with me.…

    It was a sunny day in August when I nervously started 6th grade at a new school named MSA, a charter school located in Santa Clara, with less than 500 people including middle and high school. I started off with several challenges: making sure to achieve straight As, trying to form new friendships, and being in a new environment.…

    We got to do a lot of shopping and decorating rather than sleepovers and long nights out with the friends. School was just around the corner and I have never had to go into a new school as a teenager and try to make new friends, it was something that made me really nervous and I wasn’t too sure if it was something exciting to be experienced, I just thought if it was anything like my old high school I was not going to be excited. My plan was to go in and only have to take a few classes so I could try and avoid that whole making new friend’s part. I didn’t know how to make new friends; I’ve never had to make new ones so it was a lesson to be learned. My first day of school came quickly I tried my best to make some kind of excuse so I wouldn’t have to go. The school was so much different, it was tiny, one story high and a quarter of the class size of my old high school. I was used to climbing up three stories of stairs like I was climbing Mount Everest and being practically out of air by the time I reached the top. No doubt about it this was a whole new…

    I came to KIPP during the middle of my 8th grade year. From the moment I stepped foot into KIPP Academy Middle School, I absolutely hated it. I was used to something completely different to what I had just arrived to: from the school size, the students, and the teachers. I felt like I was in a whole different world. Moving to KIPP was one of the biggest changes my 13-year-old self had gone through. I came from a relatively big school composed of only 7th and 8th graders to a school with only 2 hallways for 4 grade levels. The school was so small, I felt trapped with nowhere to go. I arrived at KIPP with a whole different mindset than most students here. Most of my classmates had been having a college-prep education since elementary school, while college hadn’t even crossed my mind yet. I had been exposed to drugs and violence from where I came and everyone at KIPP still seemed so naive. I didn’t feel like I belonged with the rest of my classmates, so I spent most of the year isolated from the rest. I was so pessimistic and failed to realize that this change was for the better.…

    I remember when I was in third grade, I had just moved to a new community, and I was extremely nervous about making new friends. When I first walked out on my new school field I was quite shy(which if you know that is not normal) because all of the girls seemed already have their own friend groups or they all knew each other. When we went around the…

    I do not know why I was an emotional wreck since this was not my first time being the new kid. I walked into Mrs. Jenkins’s class, and I could just feel the noise getting sucked into the air. It is dead silent, and every student is staring as if I was some alien. Not even five minutes in and I already felt so uncomfortable. Later, recess came, and almost half of my peers came running towards me, throwing random questions at my face. I felt so overwhelmed that I would just stare at them and not say a single word.…

    It was my first day. I took a deep breath and walked in the door with a fear of being embarrassed and frustrated. The smell of french toast and egg omelettes for breakfast. I grabbed an ice cold water from the cafeteria and headed to my first class. Kids of all grades were scattered right and left in the halls. Students struggling to open their lockers. Teachers rushed to get their work ready before the students arrived for class. Everything was very hectic and way more different than middle school.…

    In first grade, it was my first year in public school so I didn’t have as much friends as the the people that were in kindergarten last year. When I walked into the room, both of my parents on each of my side they introduced to my teacher then I sat in the empty seat. The person assigned to sit next was a girl named Chloe. At first sight, I mesmerized by the amount of silly bands she had. At that moment I knew I had to be her friend.…
