August On The Face Of August's Challenges In Middle School

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle school.

The protagonist of this book is Sarah. In Sarah’s point of view, she starts off the book by describing her surroundings and she is having a conversation with her brother Miles about school. Her and

Looming in front of me was something new, a fresh start. Despite being this, it seemed cold and trying, something that sent shivers down my spine. Mixed emotions of uncertainty and optimism had filled my first day of middle school; and as my final year is drawing to a close, I realize that this place-this transitional time in my life- is something that I never want to leave. I created a home away from home, and a family, over the short three years spent learning here. Each school year, from first to concluding, brought new experiences in which have altered my life. These are the things that I am hoping to carry over into high school-my next chapter. Every experience in which middle school has brought leaves me changed indefinitely, shaped for the future ahead.

The ideas and or themes that stood out to me from this article was the fact this young girl had to face such discrimination at such a young age. At the tender age of 7 in the second grade she was subjected to name calling for example being called the N word, spic and the Mexican jumping bean. She also had to endure her hair being pulled, being spat and on being called to the president for incidents. I feel as if someone at such a young shouldn’t be exposed to such behavior. Another theme or main idea that stood out to me from this reading was one the author brought up herself what if she had been taught by a teacher who had looked like her, spoke like her and understood her. Henceforth would her grades be better or would she have asked more

Have you ever just worried about your face or the way you dress? Well in Wonder by R.J Palacios. Auggie is starting fifth grade and in a real school. The first few days are probably the worst for August because he has to hide his face so he won't be teased as much. Throughout the book Auggie is a fighter to have a face that is disabled. Auggie is strong to fight passed all the names being said. He’s also, getting bullied by people. He is a really friendly person to a lot of people.

The end of 8th grade. Alex and I had spent so much time together. We fought a lot though, we hated each other for some time but in an instant we told each other we loved one another and went on to spend lots of time together. This happened many times during 7th and 8th grade. We built a couple groups of people that we would hang out with. Alex and I had made at least 20 close friends that we could hang out with any lunch or brunch. We had grown to be so close, and at the end of eighth grade he told me that he was moving. I felt horrible. I had made lots of friends, but the one person that I spent every day with was him. Alex and I spent a lot of time together before he left. But then he had to leave. I was kind of lost, I had friends but no

Once again I found myself at the bottom of the food chain entering 5th grade. I had just moved back to Eureka as my mom realized she wanted to be closer to family, and I remember how scared I was. I came in the middle of the school year yet again, so there I sat in the library as I waited for my teacher to come grab me. I remember seeing familiar faces from the prior year pass by me on their way to first hour. I waited patiently, still no teacher had come to claim me for their homeroom. I realized I had been forgotten. What a great way to start off the new year... not. Finally a teacher came and got me and laughed about the fact that I was forgotten, which I failed to find as funny as she did but oh well. Looking around my homeroom I anticipated seeing all the same faces, quickly I noticed that there were A LOT of new faces,

Coming to middle school from elementary school is a stressful time, but despite this fact, learning still needs to get done. This book here allows children to face middle school math, specifically what will be required from them from the start, while also covering all of the math standards and review for the Common Core State Standards. I would deem this difficulty as easy in comparison to what the students will experience in their math courses over their time in secondary education.

The problem continuously resurfaces, and the Little Girl learns how to appropriately cope with the issue. Instead of cowering, she confidently approaches life's challenges and returns to the outside world the following day to embrace the opportunities and difficulties reality has to

The book is a dystopian story where everybody is born and raised to one belief. The thought is that everyone must grow and be pretty on their 16th birthday. But Tally Youngblood, the main character of Uglies, gets her dreams of being beautiful destroyed when she learns the truth about what exactly goes down in that operating room.

There is a really cool new thing in the town, called the murder mystery weekend. You can book a weekend to take part in the game or just to watch how the other wanna-be detectives are going to solve the mystery. Over the whole weekend you are going to get more and more information. You can also sleep and eat there. It is a very cool idea and really good for young people cause they love it to solve a mystery.

“Words can’t change my face” (60). This powerful, despairing quote is taken from the novel Wonder, by R.J Palacio. Auggie Pullman is an incoming 5th grader with a facial deformity and struggles to be courageous, and most kids his age are not very kind to him. His parents want him to start the 5th grade at a public school, after he has been homeschooled for the past 5 years of his life. He is introduced to three other kids in his class. Julian, the pot-stirrer who bullies Auggie from the start. Summer, the caring girl that is sympathetic towards him, and Jack Will, who befriends him from the start. After some ups and down with his friendship with Jack and bullying with Julian, everyone becomes pretty close with Auggie in his new school, and wins the the “Most Courageous Kid” award at his fifth grade graduation. Some important lessons and ideas that readers can take away from this powerful book is that kindness is key, and to always be courageous when times are tough, because good

I was about to face my greatest challenge in my new life. How to fit in with people in middle school. Arriving in America was already hard to adjust, what more can it be with my school life. It was in August when my school started. I was already nervous, and I haven’t even step foot from this mysterious school that I’m about to spend 2 years of my life.

The marbles of Greece's Parthenon have been situated in the British Museum for more than 150 years. The Elgin Marbles are stated to continue to be the focal points of an ongoing debate that will ultimately determine the historical influence of a particularly important culture. The Parthenon Marbles are reported to constitute "a unique case in that they form part of a unique historical monument which for humanity, and international public opinion, symbolizes civilization and democracy, but for the Greek people much more than that. For the Greek people they symbolize our history and the continuity of the Greek nation." (TED Case Studies, nd, p.1)
