Reflective Essay on How I Changed In Middle School

Did you know that most people change in their middle school years? Speaking for myself, I have. Since entering middle school I have changed by having more anger issues, focusing on my grades, and becoming more Judgmental. 

Firstly, I have morphed into a person with more anger issues. For example, I get irritable when people do idiotic things. Unlike in 6th grade, I would have found them historical, but fortunately I do bot amusing anymore. To my displeasure, that any unnecessary noises that I had the misfortune of hearing. It makes me feel like a “ticking time boom.” Therefore, when people I don’t like makes a thoughtless noise, I get irritated. It’s not that I don’t like noise but sometimes it’s just uncalled for. Unlike me in my previous years, loved the sounds of the classroom because it was the only thing that was “exciting.” However, do to the pandemic that says otherwise due to the lack of voices and sounds. As a result, I have become like the saying, “Walking on eggshells.”

Secondly, another way I have “changed” is that I'm more about my grades. When it comes to my grades, that is what i pride myself on. If it ever were come down my grades getting messed up the slightest. my whole world would feel likes it crashing down while falling into an endless pit of shame and emptiness. However, unlike previous years at middle school I especially didn't care nor had the ability to. Though, I still tend to become possessive over my grades time to time. I don’t like to be stressed because it causes gray hair and wrinkles. Seriously, who likes gray hair and wrinkles? In the final analysis, I feel like caring more about my grades showed me the light and darkness of both worlds.

Lastly, in my last year of middle school is that I became more judgmental. For better or worse, there's nothing I can do. Perhaps it’s because I have gained knowledge of my standards. Though, having standards could have possibly put a strain on my friendships. Its for the greater good. For me at least. I have this thing about me that  don’t like wasting my time, especially on lavish things. How does that has to do with anything? Well if you don’t judge a person even in the slightest and he or she might turn out to be a bad person. So who do you have to blame for incompetence? Nobody because if you lack judgment then your opening yourself up to disappointment. In summary, I feel as I became more judgmental was made my life safer.

To conclude everything, in all my three years of middle school I have changed in many ways. I'm thankful for everything that has made me the person I am today. From having more anger problems, to focusing on my grades, and lastly being judgmental. I feel like those personality “traits” have made me an “better” person.
