Middle School
noun
a school intermediate between an elementary school and a high school, typically for children in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.
I know in a typical stereotype or any movie about high school made in the last 4 or 5 years high school is the hardest years of our life, not exactly. I feel that middle school was the hardest. Come on its when the kids start to get judgmental and pushy. That's when most kids in my school started referring to each other as "gay" or "homo", which in a like sense is ironic, but that's a high school story. Also middle school had the meanest teachers.
My personal experience with middle school was a run to lunch then standing in the line for 10 minutes trying to catch my breath. Yep I was that kid, the fat kid that thought lunch might run away if I didn't get there fast enough. Who am I kidding I didn't just run for lunch I ran because I was worried my friends might find others to sit with. I was already the fat kid, I was NOT going to be the loner. If I tired about as hard on work as I did on lunch it probably would have went faster.
Middle School was filled with the little pink slips that, "give you time to catch up after school", or as I like to call it detention. I wasn't huge on getting homework done, I'm not saying I wasn't good in school, I'm saying I just never wanted to do it. I had good grades, just ALOT of late marks. I don't really have an excuse for the late papers now, but everyday in class I sure did. I wasn't just going to straight up tell the teacher, "Sorry sir, my favorite tv show called, sleep came on. I sure couldn't miss that." Then they gave me that look and off with another pink slip I went. The teachers all would pretend to smile, I always knew they were ready for me to leave.
"Teachers are here to guide you in every good way possible." Said my principle with a big smile on his face. Even though him and I both know, he's wrong they are just here because it's a dollar in their pocket. Sure they might grow to love us, and give us some advice for the future, but you cannot tell me that's the only reason they are here. I was only there because it was a law, so they were only there for money. I did like some of them, don't get me wrong, I was not going to be the kid who hated everything and everyone. I just wanted to move on and leave, my only goals.
Goals is a strange word for a middle school student. I did here it a lot from other kids, I never cared much. For the goals I have now I wish I would have cared more. I guess that's a lie I did have a goal, my goal was to get home as fast as possible. My teachers always told us, make sure you have goals, make sure you know what you want to do, all this, all that, blah blah blah. That's kinda funny the end blah I feel is all middle school me heard.
Middle School was TOUGH for me. I went through all this blaming others, when in all actuality it was all me. The point is don't spend your life blaming others, for your mistakes. Sometimes it might be others fault, in those cases take back control and straighten out the road. Other times if you are the fault, then take responsibility. Was it my friends fault I ran to lunch, was it my "mean" teachers, no it was all the fat procrastinating middle school student, or more detailed, me. It makes life easier to take responsibility and fix it then, rather then wait.
