Dear Future 8th Graders…
Dear future 8th graders,
Eighth grade is the year where you want to form the habit of studying and working hard, but it is also the year you want to enjoy the most, after all, it will be your last year of middle school. Have fun and enjoy every minute of eight grade but most importantly, succeed. Strive to succeed in all of your classes; take ELA, for example. In ELA, you excel will have activities/assignments such as fashion show, E.L.D., and debate. The best way I found to succeed in these activities/assignments, is to give everything my absolute best.
The fashion show required a lot of hard work, but most importantly it required effort. You can work hard but putting little effort achieves nothing. Actually, without effort, you can’t implement hard work, and without hard work, your assignments turn out to be mediocre. If you think about it, effort is what helps you strive in hard work and success. Putting effort into your descriptions, designs, and poses helps make the fashion a success. The same effort can be applied into E.L.D.
This year, as seventh graders, you were not given the opportunity to participate in E.L.D (Educational Leadership Development). Next year, however, you will have the chance to experience something that can be really amazing. To succeed in E.L.D. you have to try your best to connect with the scholars and teachers you are assigned to. Put in the effort, and trust me the reward is the best thing you could ever ask for. Lastly, I would say debate requires a lot of effort.
Debate in Mr. Hildebrand can be fun but it can also be very serious. For example, you could be debating over whether studying is beneficial or you could be debating a more serious topic, like should drugs be banned in every state? In a debate, you are in a team, if you don’t fulfill your part, you could lead your team to defeat. It is vital that you put in the effort that your teammates do in order to achieve victory.
Eighth grade can be the best year of your life but it can be your downfall academically if you do not put in the effort needed to excel.
