Personal Narrative: A Personal Experience Of Attending Middle School
I attended middle school at St.Mary’s in Middletown N.J., and at Bayshore Middletown School in Leonardo, NJ. I had went to St Mary’s from kindergarten to the sixth grade, I had left and went to Bayshore seventh and eighth. I was extremely nervous when I saw how large Bayshore was for just a middle school was for three grades. Bayshore is on the popular/main road Leonardville Road and St. Mary’s was off of Leonardville Rd onto Church Street. Bayshore was right across from route 36. St. Mary’s is right next ‘the Junction’ and Mater Dei Prep High School. Our school colors were blue and yellow, with a Saint/Dolphin as our mascot. I was terrified on my first day in seventh grade. Hundreds of questions were filling my mind the night before! What …show more content…
In the beginning of the year in November, my entire grade traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania over a mini cruise ship. It was an experience of a trip. On the boat their 3 floors full of drinks and mini cocktails to eat. Their was plenty of seats/tables to sit and chat at. We also were allowed outside of the boat, but sadly it was rainy and really chilly. I remember the best part was the dance floor/dj. It was a casual dress code so it wasn’t anything fancy, but it was still very fun. While traveling to Philadelphia we saw the Liberty Bell, Independence hall, went in the penny museum, saw Benjamin Franklin's grave and many other famous peoples. Another thing that I remember about the trip was that the chaperones were awesome and let us do such much on our own. Our chaperone was one of my friends mom who got us these pretzels that were beyond yummy. It was a blast! The end of the year trip was at the Middletown Pool Club/Ice World. Our whole grade got to go for free as our end of the year graduation present. We swam and tanned all day, played basketball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. Later on we ate, went skating, then had dessert. Their was hotdogs/hamburgers to eat that i remember were burnt and not so good. The dessert was cookies and ice cream that were delicious to end the

    I learned a lesson all the way back in first grade, and that lesson has stuck with me ever since. I was coming in from recess, and I was talking to a friend of mine off to my left. Unfortunately, I was not watching where I was going. I kept barely taking glances of what was in front of me, and that was a huge mistake. Someone was running behind me, and wasn’t watching where they were going either. As I approached the building I heard yelling, but thought nothing of it. After all, recess had just finished, so obviously kids would be yelling, right? It turns out some kids had been playing tag, and decided to play until they got inside. One that was still running away, because God forbid he’d be “it,” was Nick.…

    Jackie Robinson once said “This ain't fun but watch me get it done”. I had always been at a small school my entire life until seventh grade, when I decided to change schools. I was the new kid, and I didn’t know anyone, and nobody knew me, but I made friends in that two years of middle school. I had never been through a transition like that in my entire life, but when I am older I can look back on it and say that I did it.…

    Experience is the source of knowledge whether they're bad or good. It gives us confidence, courage, and strength. It is how life teaches us to love and forgive each other. In fact, experience is the worst teacher because it gives us the test before presenting the lesson.…

    Since my friends and I were seniors this year we decided that we needed to do something to celebrate us leaving Catskill. We spent many lunches at Subways trying to decide what we should do. We started out wanting to go to Cape Cod for the weekend. Then it went from Cape Cod to Boston, Massachusetts. Finally it ended up a day at Six Flags, New England. We decided that the best time to do this was on a Monday morning when everyone else is in school. That way their wouldn’t be as many people there and we could get to the lines quicker. We made a list of all the best rides that we wanted to go on.…

    I didn’t really do much over the summer. We went to Indiana beach, and I am not too fond of roller coasters, or any ride for that matter, except for at water parks. Last year in 7th grade we went to Washington D.C and saw the washington monument, lincoln memorial, we went inside the Capitol building, The Changing of the Guard at Arlington cemetery, saw The White House. That didn’t really interest me, I don’t even have any souvenirs! Even earlier in the year, we went to Buffalo, New York. We saw a football game (the team we were rooting for lost,(TO THE JETS!) and we got to see Niagara Falls.…

    Yough Intermediate Middle School, a comical and controlled environment. Waking up everyday to come to school is a nuisance. It worth every second of the day because of the amazing teachers, students, and staff. The curricular activities are as creative as a Picasso painting. The adventures I have gone on in Yough has taken me through life even more. The adventures have been vigorous, inferior, and patchy.…

    Middle School. My first steps into the “North Building” and I was terrified. There was moisture in the air and the carpets were moist from being freshly shampooed. It almost smelled like a new house, even though that building was as old as Abraham Lincoln if he were still alive.…

    I’ve always had lofty, perhaps unrealistic. In middle school, I naively assumed that I would be in top 12% of my class, by simply making A’s. I tried my hardest in every classes, but still wasn’t enough. I never reached my goal of being in top 12%, as a result my self-esteem plummeted. I started high school with high hopes once again. Perhaps even more naively, I pursued the goal of being ranked number one. I was too young to realize the concept of “realistic” goals. My biggest obstacle was my state of mind. I brought my self-down. I told myself the only way to be the best is to be better than everyone else. Setting such a high goal did help me in the end. After the second semester of freshman year, I received my rank. I was ranked number 10;…

    Living through both ends of the spectrum and finding a happy medium that I call my own has been one of my biggest struggles through my teenage years. Growing up with an African-American father and a Caucasian mother has showed me the ups and downs of both. However, during junior high I found it difficult to figure out where I fit in because I always seemed to be the oddball out.…

    (More dramatic beginning) Choking and laughing through the cigarette smoke as I sit around the smoking area listening to the seniors tell their crazy drunken stories and cat call at the numerous ladies. This is the dream for any freshmen, but not what I expected when I was thrust into Younglife weekend camp January of my freshmen year.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…
