There's been loads of friends that have impacted my Middle School years, but at the moment A lot of the kids I met in music magnet have also been great friends to have. I've known Sofia since we were like 4, and she's always been a great friend to have, we were able to get a lot more closer these past months. I've known Alfredo since we were like in 3rd grade and he's always been a great friend to have as well, though he makes me spend money on his Zero Sugar Coke, when he had money. My friend Joselyn I've known her since the 6th grade and she has honestly been like family to me. Group A-804 has been the best, we made loads of memories and we made this crazy school year somewhat normal. For teachers I would have to thank, Mr.Chiarello because he was able to take a chance on me to play in the Jazz Band even though I could barely play half the notes on the saxophone. Mr.Briggins because before this year I never liked Social Studies it was so boring to me, but he changed that. And I'd say for a teacher and a support system Ms.Nuzzo because she made ELA fun and she let us stay after school to talk about literally anything.

Definitely a lot of people that were good friends throughout middle school, probably a Teacher or Adult would be Mr Briggins and Ms Nuzzo, I can't pick between them so it's both.

a friend: my friend groups have changed a lot throughout middle school. but the ones who stuck with me are who I would like to thank. michel made sure that I laughed and smiled and made jokes about the weirdest things. but especially the ones I met this year who changed a year of sorrow and sadness into happiness.
teachers: my 6th grade math. teacher, ms.scandriato and mr.briggins have changed my middle school experience. I was able to share my thoughts and their classrooms didn't feel like a classroom.
support system: my mom, she has always been there for me and made sure that I didn't lose myself as a person. she made me feel as my opinions are valid and important. and most of all, she was a mom to me.

I really met my friend in kindergarten but throughout middle school i really bonded with her. Melanie, the friend I'm talking about, never let me down. She was there to listen to me, talk to me, help me, encourage me and i'm really happy that she was in my middle school experience.
Mr. Briggins and Ms. Lu made both my sixth and eighth grade experiences fun, unique but also educational.
My mom was probably my biggest  support from an adult because shes there all the time. I trust her with a lot of things.

I want to thank teachers who support me from much place, in many lessons I don’t understand they help me to practice and study.

A friend that helped me throughout middle school was Kaori because she makes me laugh and I could trust her with personal things.
Mr. Briggins and Ms. Gasidzhak really made my 8th grade experience more worthwhile as I grew to learn how to use my voice and realize that my opinion matters, as well as working hard and finding the logic in things.
Ms. Betty really helped me put things into perspective and helped me realize that I needed further help with things that needed to be tended to. She also made me feel like my emotions were valid, and was very understanding.

I don't really have one particular friend. I would say that most of my friends have helped me to succeed in middle school and without them I would not be the person I am today. Also my teachers do more than just teach. They talk to me about my life and just how things are going in general. So I want to thank all my friends and all my great teachers that have done more than just teach me a subject.

A friend: I have a friend, she is in 7th grade right now, she has helped me most the past 2 years of middle school.  I am very thankful to her because she has become my best friend, and she has lifted my mood especially when life was tough.
Support System: I would thank my mom, she has supported me and let me make choices when it came to exams, such as the state test this year. And when I needed help with something she was always there, even while at work.

I have many friends to thank, and I am grateful to everyone who chose to be my friend. All of my friends have helped me in some way, and they have always been there for me when I needed them and when I didn't. Everyone in 804, Diana, Manija, and the entire class in general. Those who are not affiliated with the school or are in 6th-7th grade. They are very special to me.

Most of my teachers had an impact on me, and I am grateful for them. From sixth to eighth grade. I wasn't always the best student before middle school, but each teacher I had changed my perspective on education. Mr. Briggins opened my eyes to social studies, which I used to despise and never understood; I am grateful for that. Ms.Nuzzo made the class enjoyable; she understood how we felt, and despite the fact that she was not a student, she worked hard to understand our point of view and to assist us when we needed it. Ms.class G's was challenging in some ways; in that class, I had to work hard to maintain my grades; I appreciate that she made it difficult; nothing beats a challenge.

I am thankful.

I had friends outside of I.S. 228 that helped me throughout the year to talk to and be around with.

A teacher that impacted me is Mr. Briggins as I've learned more about of how society used to be and still is now for better understanding. As well is a nice and relaxed as a teacher.

I had friends inside and outside of IS228 that has helped me through middle school. One friend that was part of IS228 was Jeffrey, he was someone that I'd say would always be there for me.

I would say all my teachers had helped me get through middle school, but if I had to mention a specific person I would say Mr. Marchica who I had for robotics magnet. He made magnet fun and memorable for me, I felt like I had it easy in his classes. I would also say Mr. Briggins because he made our classes fun and he was an easy person to talk to if I needed help.

To my friends, my teachers and anyone who's helped me in general. Thank you. I've been throughout a lot these last 3 years. I've been in a dark place for such a long time, but this year and the friend's I've made and the teachers that I could always reside in, in both this year and previous. I prize you, I cherish you I do whatever that is needed to express my love and need for you. I know we're going into a new year, for some a new school, for others a new home, or if your a teacher, the status quo. It may be tough, but I just wanna say thank you. You've made my life easier and despite me keeping so many things hidden that ranged from trauma to my personal life, it helped. Every social interaction and every lovely person who ever tried bonding with me. Thank you.

A friend that got me through middle school was Vanessa cause she's been here with me since day one since 8th grade cause that's when I was in-person for the first time and she helped me gain confidence and be less shy to people and I really appreciate her.

A teacher that got me through middle school has to be Mr. Briggs cause he is the coolest and most understanding teacher anyone can have since he understands what teens are really going through in life and the things that are happening to the world and he teaches us stuff that we actually need in life.

Middle school is a difficult chapter of our life to persevere through at this age, especially through covid-19. A couple of friends that have helped me get through the school year was Brenda, because I knew no one in the beginning of the school year and she was probably the only one I knew for a while and we've become closer throughout these few months. I've known Michel for three years and this is probably the year where we were able to connect more, especially since learning remotely, she was the only one who would check with me, and submit the homework so I didn't have to do it first because I was scared of getting a low grade and failing. I've known Alfredo for three years as well since music magnet and first came off as weird to me but I never knew we would be such great friends to this point. He is always annoying me to a point where I want to yell at him but he is a great walking buddy, dunkin/starbies partner, and great friend when I needed him to be (if he tried to be nice for once) Tendry and Yelena are and were my best friends as well since 6th grade, ever since Tendry was sick and I held his lunch for him until he came back to school, or when I helped kill the cockroach that came home with him lol, and Yelena sat with me during lunch, we had school projects to do, and went shopping. In general, I believe 804 cohort A was a good impact for me because I originally wanted to learn remotely but I'm extremely glad I didn't learn online because I was able to receive as much as a middle school experience as I can. For my teachers, Mr.Chiarello is the first teacher I would love to thank because I am extremely grateful for meeting him. I knew of him for a while because the process my brother went through for the music magnet. I originally started out as a flute going into the sixth grade but I decided to start playing tuba. I got into the symphony orchestra at the spring concert of 6th grade and I started playing the trumpet for jazz band in winter 7th grade. We never got to play any of our instruments throughout 8th grade except for my high school audition tape. Mr.Chiarello was one of the only teachers that helped me through the application process, as well as helping me choose the audition tape for the hundreds of times I've attempted to complete the tape perfectly. He is the reason, besides academics, that I got into LaGuardia and Fort Hamilton and I can't be thankful enough for his help and assistance throughout middle school. I would like to thank Ms.Nuzzo for making ELA a better experience then most, and being the teacher this year that let us stay after school hours. Mr.Briggins, I'm letting you know, I hated social studies before you became my teacher. You make SS fun, exciting, mysterious, I never know what's going to happen in this class and 7th period would not be the same without you. #yourdog (I forgot the name) and #unjustwhenIhadmyhandupfirstandyoudecidetocallonsomeoneelse. One teacher I would especially like to thank is Ms.Gasidzhak because she made this school year as normal as possible compared to most teacher. She may not be the most fun or laugh-worthy teacher, but her seriousness and intimidating strategies was what made us turn on our cameras which most teachers don't do, and she made us copy notes, IN A NOTEBOOK; I don't remember the last time that happened. Her classes were more challenging and algebra was more difficult as the year went on. I've always enjoyed math but Ms.G made the experience of learning algebra more enjoyable. #I'msorryIdon'twanttotakeregents. Overall, I would like to David A body for a great 3 years even though it was never what anyone expected to go through for a middle school life. I've known or been going to this school for six years for my brother, and my mother who helps out in the PTA, and there was never a single day that I wasn't welcome to hang out during the school days or the summer time. Thank you!
