MadWords Then

HMMMM! let me think!…..

1) I will take that guys(boys) will always be stupid and pick on girl because they like them… (except you mr. madden

2) Craziest Memory…. Definitely going to be my band getting accepted in the MMC (mid Michigan music conference) We were one of the top 8 bands in the STATE! Thank you Mrs. Zerman!!!

3)I will miss the most you Mr. Madden because you are one of the teachers that actually listens!!!! And cares!!!

4) Proudest moment I hope will be being getting recognized for getting straight A’s all three years.

5) The Social Life

6) Only that I will get lost…

i will take Everything from Hayes because this school (cheesy as it seems) is going to stay in my heart 4ever!! i think it’s because this is the first school i have completed start to finish….i don’t know where to begin-the friends, school skills, knowledge,awards, projects, and mostly getting to know the teachers. my craziest memory will definately be when last year during the poetry jam i freaked out and started speed talking my whole poem! i think that is the craziest thing i have ever done because i’m not really shy or afraid of people, the camera was rolling and my GRADE was on the line! i don’t know about you but that is a HUGE deal…oh and today we had a drama performance and i had to dress up like a pig-i’ve never done that before!! the thing i will miss the most is definately all the familiarness and the teachers & staff because (again as cheesy as it seems) they are kind of part of my family and i feel like i’m leaving them behind…which is NOT okay, but i promise somehow i will pay my familia back, in some way, shape, or form… I LOVE this school and am tied to it in some wierd way, but i can’t let that stop me from moving forward because that is unhealthy, but i will definately be back-that is a promise.

@Delanie O.,

Thank you for your words, Delanie. Your bright and thoughtful personality will be sorely missed in the halls at Hayes! I was fortunate to have had you in my class. As time passes, I realize how special it has been to have witnessed your transformation into such a strong and unique person.

(I need to do a posting on people moving on to bigger arenas, I think.)

@Aman Saini,

Aman, Wow! I am struck by your emotional words. I am happy for you to have had such a memorable experience at Hayes. Your wonderfully positive attitude will bring even more splendid memories in high school. I hope you have a fabulous last few days at HMS. (You had better be sure and stop in my room a few times!)

-Mr. M

What will I take frm my time at Hayes. I think that I will go ino high school knowing that a majority of teacher are nice. In al of my Hayes life I have only had 3 less than awesome teachers. That avreages out to about 16 and 2/3%. That means that a majority of my classes will be bad and I won’t have a horrible time at high school.

Hmmm… Let me think about my craziest memory. Ther are lots of those but I’m not sure if I could pick one that is my favorite or craziest. I think that I could find something crazy for almost every class.

Concerns. Well…. I am not the most coordinated person so I am worried that I will run into a wall, drop my binder and lose all of my papers. That would not be good.
Besides the water I thint that I will miss the most is the people. WHen I am walking down to Munchkin LAnd (cough the 6th grade hallway) I see lots of my former teachers. This makes me happy becasue it is kind of like a reflection into the past.

I thikn that my proudest moment was when I won quick calcs for three years in a row at math day. That and freezing the tv/announcemnt thing.

I am looking forward to challenging classes. In Hayes we only got to chose wheter or not we wanted band, choir, or encore, which means that it is possible for every differnt intellegence level to be in the same classroom. In high school we get to choose whatever class we want. I chose biology, chemistry, and honors english so I hope that there will be a disticntion between Hayes classes and the high schoool curriculum.

Sorry about the messed up order; I copy and pasted wrong.

@Tess, what am I going to do next year, Tess? Unless you continue to mess with the MadWordsThen-ness I will have an emptiness. But I digress!

All right, enough sillyness.

Tess, I do hope that you find some time in your soon-to-be-maybe busy life at GLHS to share some thoughts, arguments, inspirations, shouts with the blog readers. I value so much your taking time to add your voice to the conversations we have held over the past couple of years.

You have my best wishes, Tess, as you move on to your next chapter in life. And don’t you begin backing down or kowtowing, missy, some teachers may not like your challenging nature, but, done with respect, you will gain their respect.

And, do not be a stranger! We need insights into high school life!

-Mr. M

It’s been awhile, but:

I will take with me the wisdom and life lessons that I’ve been able to fully grasp.

My craziest memory was during the recognition. I was amazed by how many awards I was receiving. I had no idea that I would have to stand up that many times, and walk up on stage that many times. I was in a total daze.

I will miss you, Mr. M, the most.

My proudest moment wasn’t just about myself; it dealt with my entire grade. On the last day of school (the day, recognition, dance, and all), I felt as if my eighth grade class really came together and forgot about all of our problems. We cherished our time together, and made it such an amazing day. I was on cloud 9, and so proud of everyone.

I really look forward to meeting new people, driving, my art classes, and experiencing all new things in high school.

I don’t exactly feel concerned about anything. Yes, I do hope that I will have a good bus ride on the days that I do ride the bus, and I would like to find my classes and get to them on time. I know that it’ll all be fine in the end though. I will just have to deal with the way my bus rides are, and soon enough I will be able to drive myself to school. I know I will memorize where each class is and get to them within the 7 minutes between classes after awhile. So there really isn’t anything that I am worrying about at the moment.
