Middle School Is Not The Easiest Time

After that moment, I no longer saw myself as an intelligent kid who was unable to fail, but one who was and could be challenged by failure and challenged to learn from my mistakes. After revising the essay, I received an “A+,” yet this was not what made me happy. The fact that I, the twelve-year-old boy who had previously rejected failure as a possibility, could accept failure (by my standards) and use it as

Dr. Tim Elmore, author of 12 Huge Mistakes Parents Can Avoid states, "While we parents hate seeing our kids fail, I don't think we can truly mature without facing it in life--and the earlier, the better." Everyone fails and the sooner parents stop protecting their children from this reality, the quicker they can move on and mature. This also allows those who deserve to accel to feel like they worked hard for a purpose. Elmer furthers his argument, saying, "Kids who've never tested their abilities grow into emotionally brittle young adults who are more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.” Failure is not always the worst option. It can be used as a coach and shouldn’t always be feared. Failure is a part of life and kids need to learn to accept it. Participation awards are taking away from this life

book after book. All titled Middle school, the worst years of my life, how I survived middle school, middle school get me out of here,and the list goes on . As I was nearing the end of fifth grade, I started seriously thinking about how middle school would be and got worried after hearing of so many stories of people's terrible middle school years. However, I have to admit it really hasn’t been all that bad these last three years and in fact, middle school may have been my favorite, compared to elementary school. With more freedom, more people, more homework, more activities, more teachers, more fun classes, more excitement, more everything quite frankly, I have been able to have . I am sure a lot of us have fun throughout these middle school while learning more about yourselves and the people around us each year. I am sure many of us have been able to say for sure that we have had many experiences that can prepare us for the future.

Everyone will encounter failure on their way to success. Without failure, we cannot grow and succeed – it teaches us how to improve ourselves. In history, for example, Abraham Lincoln went through many failures before becoming one of the United States’ greatest presidents. He was demoted quickly in the military and lost many elections in his career, but continued to work until he had risen to presidency (Wilson). Another example is J.K. Rowling, the famous author of the Harry Potter series. She went through many struggles in her life, each time adjusting and eventually working her way up to huge success and wealth (Gillet). In her book, Very Good Lives, Rowling describes how to embrace failure and improve yourself. There are many other well-known people in history with similar experiences. Walt Disney was fired for a lack of imagination, Sir Isaac Newton failed to run his farm, Thomas Edison was fired several times for being unproductive, and Albert Einstein had difficulty in school – all of these people and many more, at some point of their life, encountered failure and had to learn to accept it to achieve success. In my experience, this also applied in school. Although I always went for the highest grades, there were some times when I had a string of low grades. I learned to accept failure and learn from it, along with adjusting to change, to work my way back up to success in

Middle school is full of good and bad memories. After being here for four years you develop all sorts of memories that you may not even want to remember. There is one memory from my eighth grade year that I will never forget. Being a water girl for the middle school football team was one of the most exciting extra curricular activities I did.

Middle school was very fun though and it matured me a lot for high school I also learned a lot of things in middle school that have helped me in highschool I also still have some of my middle schools teachers now like Ms.Bowen that was my favorite teacher in middle school she was very cool.

Failure, at its core, is a road that leads to success; that leads to achievement. Personally, I never looked at it with that perspective until my second year of high school, where I received my first ever term grade of a C. To me, a C was no better than an F, an absolute failure in every sense of the word. It felt like the end of the world. Even so, within this whirlwind of self-hatred, I learned something that helped me improve little by little: how to make the best of a bad situation.

All too often we let life’s failures control us. It starts in childhood, and in my experience, people have two general responses to failure: 1. Give in and accept that you are “a failure”, or 2. Work harder to prove (if not only to yourself) that you are NOT a failure. The problem with these human reactions is that both of them can be dangerous to us in the long run. An example of the first response is a young girl who tries out for the cheerleading squad; she is nervous, and does not do well. Instead of trying again, she listens to the harsh criticisms of the other girls, and the critiques that were given by the judges, and she decides that cheerleading is just not for her. She could have succeeded, in fact, she could have been one of the

Middle school was not the best of years, especially 8th grade. 8th grade was most definitely not the best school year I had ever had. It started in 8th grade when a new kid came in to my class. I had been talking

Everyone is born with a fear of failure. Failure is a part of our human nature, it is ingrained in us. Any successful person has achieved their success through failure. You can’t prevent it in any way, and it’s pointless to try and in the end, it will come. Some people have such a large fear of failure, they pass it onto their children, such as Morley Callaghan’s friend’s father. He gave his child only one chance, and lost all faith in him because of one failure. As a result of this, his friend lost all faith in himself and soon dropped out of school

The teachers taught me well, while my peers taught me more about life. I made my best friends in middle school and we are a family now. I cherished the time I spent in middle school. I was a top student who was doing well, had many friends, and was making a name for myself in sports and extracurricular activities. Then once again graduation rolled around and I had to leave all of the good things behind. But I was ready to embark on an education that was more geared towards my future.
