About Me

Something About me is I like to have a competition with other people so I can learn.

From my mistakes and also learn from others. My summer was delightful because I got to.

Take a break from school ,traveling and another reason why my summer was delightful.

Because I got to talk to my friends and have fun I also went shopping and went to buffets.

With my family because my dad said we have to enjoy life before it's too late or you're too old.

I played video games with my friends and neighbors I went to the park where I met friend from.

Elementary school we played basketball together and went window shopping together.

This is the reason why my summer was delightful. What I feel Like being a eighth grader is that.

I feel like my behavior has impacted on the seventh and sixth graders because they look up to us.

They might follow the wrong examples and they will not get things done or in other words they.

Won't behave and follow the rules.

My name is Fardin Raj I was born on June 10th 2010 in Bangladesh, my home Country. I have 2 brothers and had 1 older sister but she passed away when she was 3 years old. I had one dream that when I grew up that I wanted to be a doctor so I told my parents that we should move to the USA so I can study better in the USA. So we moved when I was 5 years old in 2015. We stayed for only 6 months then we moved back to Bangladesh. Then we decided to move back in 2017 when I was 7 years old. My first day of school I was excited to go to school and I was going to Second grade. I didn’t make a lot of friends because I was new and didn't know how to speak English that well. I would stay up all night to learn how to talk better and also would learn new words every single day. It took me a year to get better than how I was when I was new.  My life goal is to be a doctor one day. Now that I’m in 8th grade my goal is this year to get honoral This is My last year in this school so I’m trying my best to be good and focus on myself.

My name is Kalia Klass, I'm 13 years old. My favorite colors are yellow and purple. My birthday is June 3rd. I like people that like to help others and people that have the same interests as  me. I dislike people that are always in everyone's business and don't  know how to leave other people alone. I also dislike people who on purpose make fun of other people when they dont look great  themselves. My experience as a 7th grader wasn't that great. I say this because last year there were a lot of people making fun of me and there was also a lot of drama. The good thing about 7th grade was probably My teachers Ms.Ahmad, Mr. Comer, Ms. Mannino etc and that  I  had a friend by my side to help me with all of this, and that I had really good grades. I'm hoping that 8th grade will be better than last year. I live with my mom and siblings. My favorite things to do are sleep and listen to music.

Last year I said the same thing. It didn't go so well but I'm sure this year I’m going to get it. And my mom would be proud

My name is Rayan JeanBaptiste. I have 2 brothers. 1 of them has already moved out of my parents house. I went to time square sometime towards the end of the summer break. And I am ok with being in 8th grade. The only thing I don’t like is that I feel old and I don’t know why. Maybe it is because I am turning 13 in november. I like YouTube and not having much work to do. But I  might seem a bit selfish but I don’t like having to help people constantly especially if I have to help the same people all the time. And I absolutely hate being overworked or having too much work to do. And that is all you need to know about me for now.

My name is Zeyna Mulic and I am 13 years old, settling into 8th grade. I was born on September 1st, 2010.  It feels weird being in my last year of middle school. It was such a rollercoaster all these 3 years we’re so filled with different emotions. Time went by so fast and as much as I want to leave middle school, I will miss my friends so much. I have made lots of memories and good times with my teachers, friends, and I feel like a part of me doesn’t want to leave. I like a lot of things and I have a lot of hobbies. I like to write a lot and a job I think about having in the future is being a journalist or a writer. I also love to draw since I have a creative mind. I love to listen to music, music is something I can’t live without. I also enjoy watching anime sometimes and I'm a very huge film fan. My favorite food is pizza as well. I look forward to this school year and I want to make it the best considering it’s my last year in middle school. I hope I have an amazing year with you Ms. Brizard and I hope we can get along well. I also hope to get an A in your class and receive an honor roll. I want my last year in middle school to be unforgettable, and I wish to get better at writing so I can have more high hopes for my dreams. I want to learn a lot of new things in class as well.

My full name is Steven Joseph Artica Marin, I am 13 years old, I have two sisters, God wanted one of my sisters to be born in this country,but we know that everything is in God’s plans, what specifically describes me is soccer.

I also like to spend time with my family, inside and outside the Church. Speaking of school, the school here is very different from the one in my country, but I liked it, but I also have specific classes that I like, for example gym, art and now the Spanish class, but apart from that I like I like how they have everything organized, for example the classrooms, the class number, how they organize the classrooms, etc.

Essay

Starting 8th grade as a senior is very hard for me because I feel a little nervous and sad because this is the last year of middle school for me, but I also feel happy for starting this year fresh, even though I was not prepared. Some things about me are that I'm very silent and I don't like to talk or communicate with my classmates; I only like to talk to my friends. I'm also Hispanic and I'm from Honduras. One thing I love about my country is its gastronomy. The food is delicious, and I love playing video games and watching videos. I have three siblings, one brother and two sisters. I'm not very communicative with people, but I love doing my work in class. One thing I don’t like about school is that sometimes we get a lot of work, and my favorite subjects are ELA, science, and art.I live in an apartment with my siblings and parents. Sometimes me and my family go to different states like New Jersey,  North Carolina, Texas,Pennsylvania  and more. I love to travel so I can learn more about each state. This summer, I went to Six Flags in New Jersey and the New York Botanic Garden. I did a lot of things throughout this summer, and as an 8th grader, I will put a lot of effort into this school year.

Hi Ms. Brizard and Ms. Murray, I’m very happy to be in your class this year. I am

nervous for eighth grade though since it’s my last year of middle school. I’m a very anxious

person which means I have anxiety when it comes to school stuff, especially getting good grades

and arriving early. It’s not just for school, I’m also anxious when it comes to being in public in

general. Except overtime I have actually overcome that fear. While being an anxious person,

I’m also calm and quiet, and at other times quite loud. I’m a person who has very descriptive

imagination, meaning I love to picture images or stories in my head. This might sound weird but I

do it everywhere. When I eat, when I sleep, when I’m in class, basically everywhere!

Creating a picture about nature, People, or anything in general just makes me happy. All

of this connects to my passion of writing, drawing, and creating. The kind of music that I’m

definitely into Korean pop music. I also like dark music about horror themes. My music genre is

mostly pop rock, indie, and basically anything that paints a picture in my head.  Some things

about my family life is that I’m the youngest child in my family, and I have an older brother. We like

to make small videos together that have where we create a story about stuffed animals. My favorite

subject is ELA since I love to write and study different poems about different cultures and

themes. I read a poem last year called “The Road Not Taken”, By Robert Frost. The message

behind that poem was to understand how to make important decisions. Since then, I loved

studying the deep meanings behind the different pieces of literature. That’s me, Zara Masood,

and that’s a little bit about me.

My name is Carissa. I'm 13 years old, my birthday is July 2nd and I like to be outside with my friends and watch YouTube. Usually in my free time I'm either sleeping or on  my phone. My summer was really good. I would hang out with my friends a lot after summer school and even though a lot of people make it seem like summer school isn't fun I think when you have your friends there it's better and I really enjoyed it. I feel kinda excited to be a 8th grader because I can finally graduate and go on the senior trip and I feel like I’m gonna have a fun experience and the memories are gonna be nice, however I’m kinda scared of what happens after I graduate and I don’t think I’m fully prepared for it.
