A new school year gives students the opportunity to start fresh as they ponder the endless
responsibilities Bell-East has to offer. Perhaps one of the most important factors to remember at the beginning of a new year is to start strong. Whether it be students’ schoolwork or extracurricular activities it is critical that people try their best and give 110 percent. The start of school can be difficult for students to get back in the routine of it. However, it is important that individuals strive for success during the first few weeks to set the foundation for the rest of the school year. During these first weeks, students should establish study habits, and they should attempt to complete their work and meet deadlines. Middle school is a great experience, and it will prepare students later for high school, future events, and careers. Whether running that extra mile at cross-country practice, studying a few extra minutes for a spell bowl test, students should always go above and beyond what is expected. Eventually, peoples’ hard work will show, causing their peers to follow in their footsteps. Students should start out their school year strong and strive for success, as they serve as an icon for their peers. By Elizabeth Cheatham I did not know how to feel about my first day of eighth grade, but now that the day is over, I am certain that it is a day I will never forget. I remember when I first walked in to Bell-East at the beginning of sixth grade and everything seemed so big, different, and scary. I could hardly imagine that two years from that day, I would be starting the 2014 school year, beginning the journey of my last year of middle school. Now the day has finally arrived, we are at last the ones on top. All the nerves and fears from the past years of middle school are suddenly out of sight. Today, I realized how accustomed I have become to the school and how determined I am to make my eighth grade year count. After today, I am well aware that being the oldest in the school means we are role models for the sixth and seventh graders. It is our duty to demonstrate what it really means to be kind, courteous, and respectful. As I became acclimated with my teachers, I recognized how much they can help me achieve this school year. I know that the amount of effort I put forth this year will reflect on my future and will bring me closer to success. However, because I am another grade older, it means I will come face to face with more challenges and difficulties. As the days go on, I discover that sometimes things will get tough, but if I continue to persevere and give my all, the possibilities that lie ahead in my eighth grade year are endless.
By Piper Nesbit The first day of school is always a day to look forward to. Between the excitement of getting new school supplies to the initial butterflies, that day is always something to remember. Going into middle school is a big change, and Bell-East does a good job of making the transition run smoothly. The small things that the staff and teachers do help make the first day jitters go away. Bell-East is a great environment for its students and employees to grow and learn. From the first day of kindergarten to the first day of college, the first day of school memories are something that most people will carry with them forever.
