AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE
Everybody thinks middle school is easy; however, it was really hard for me and had a really big impact on educational life. There was much work to be done but I wasn’t doing anything about it.The events in my 8th grade year, taught me that I have lots of support from my parent and to never give up once it gets hard.
The last few months in Kennedy Elementary were when things changed . I only had two classes Math and English. I would just sit down and mess around with my friends. My teacher, Ms. Navarro would always remind me to finish my work. I really wouldn’t care about it all I had in mind was “they will just pass me” But things changed they had a meeting with all the 8th graders, To announce that if you don’t finish your 8th grade work you wouldn't go to high school.
Parent conference week came by and my parent & Ms. Navarro had a special meeting. It was about me not going to high school. My grades were so low that I had no chance I could get caught up. My parents came back to the house, they had a short talk with me, and they were very disappointed of me. My parents were very worried about me. I stayed in my room and looked at myself in the mirror, and said to myself “I need to change real quick”.
It was seven o’clock on a Monday morning. I got my thing out and started to work. Ms. Navarro pulled me outside, and talked to me for a while I told her why I have a hard time doing my work. I had many reason but my main reason was low reading knowledge. She understood that, so she gave me one last chance. She offered me Saturday school and to stay after school. I started to see improvement. My parents were very happy that I was trying. I kept in my head “Do this for your parents ”. Two month past by, I had did lots of work, and my name was on the list of maybe going to the high school. I kept doing my work and I was doing extra work to get ahead. I would stayed in for break & lunch to do my work. Last month of school and I wasn’t done. I was so scared but, I kept in my mind “Do this for your parents”. Last week of school came by I had just finish my end of topic test. My score was good it was an 85 percent. I was so happy because I was so behind and I caught up with the rest of the class.
All the support I got kept motivating me to do my work. All the time I spent to finish my work had just pay off, But the things that kept me going was “doing this for my parents”. The reminder on my mind really kept me motive. Doing my work to have a good education and keeping a smile on my parents was a great feeling. So now when thing get hard I will remind myself that I was 2 year behind pace and I caught up with the rest of the class to finish in time to graduate middle school.
