My 9th Grade year

My 9nth Grade year



When I first came to this school I was immature and just happy I was a 9nth grade year I thought I was going to own this school thought I was going to be popular but as you know that’s not what happened. I thought everybody was going to like me but no it was the opposite people thought I was all that and messy and I was just being myself. I really didn’t care because in the real world life isn’t fair and in the real life either people are going to like you or they not but what can you do about it. Nothing just keep being your self. Well as I was saying I was immature and wasn’t focused in my grades or nothing I was just excited I was in high school. When the first report card came out I was failing I just sat their and laughed because my friends thought it was cool being bad and everything but inside of me I was disappointed in myself because I knew I could do better but as I said I was trying to impress my friends I stayed the same didn’t do my work I would talk back to my teachers and I would just act like a kindergarten if I didn’t get what I wanted I would complain till it was in my hand. Later in the first semester I got in a fight. Don’t get me wrong it was self defense. I was trying to separate my cousin from the two girls that were hitting her and once I did they started hitting me and as any human been I wasn’t going to let a girl I didn’t know to hit me when all I was doing was separating them so as you see it was self defense. After that I got suspended cep contract and behavior contract. I was on the line I couldn’t do anything bad or else I would’ve gone kicked out.


As you know people open their eyes or understand and become mature after they’ve been thru their consequence. That’s when I decided I wasn’t in middle school I had to start maturing and had to start developing my mind I had to start to prepare my future what college I was going to go etc. That’s when I started to focus in my classes stopped hanging a lot with my friends and asked my teachers what I could do to improve my grade but nobody told me it was going to be easy. I tried my best and even when I had them 70’s I never gave up in till one day I got my report card and saw that I has a’s and b’s I was proud of my self. That’s when I knew that working hard paid of. I still have fun and sometimes act immature but I know when to stop and know I have to focus in my work and I don’t play around in till I know my work is finished and my partners. When I first came here I was just thinking of how bad I was going to be and thought I was going to get away wit it like in my other school but I thought wrong. The first time I got in trouble I almost got kicked out. Then I made a decision to focus in school and not to fool around till I knew that my grades were up and I was passing my classes with a high grade. The hardest thing in high school I didn’t expect was all the homework and projects. Although I’ve been through a lot In my 9th grade year I wouldn’t take anything back or else I wouldn’t have learned from my mistakes, and even if people didn’t like me no matter why their reasons of not likening me I still met knew people who became my friends. All that’s left with me is what this pastor once said you can’t please everybody he told us a story about this guy and his kid going to a place in a village with their donkey. The father was riding on the donkey and the kid was walking and all the people were critized him saying that how was he going to make the kid walk he’s too little. So he got of the donkey and put the little kid on it and the old man was the one walking again the people critized him saying how could he let the little kid ride the donkey if he was filled with energy and the old man could barely walk. So both him and the kid were riding on the donkey and people were saying that how could he do that that’s animal cruelty so then both of them get off and carry the donkey to where he was going and people said he was crazy. Who carries a donkey when they can ride it? So as you see you can never please the people so might as well ignore the bad comments they have for you. After all my 9th grade wasn’t bad I met great teachers who helped me throughout the year and im happy I had them their with me telling me not to give up and motivating me to pursue my goals in life. Never could’ve done it without my homeroom teacher Ms. Kerner and my classmates in homeroom. Had the best 9th grade year ever.
