Goodbye

How have you grown individually, in your social groups, and in your language arts class this year?

  1. Not only this year did I grow as a student but I also grew as a person. Indavidually I think I am more mature then I was coming into 7th grade. In socail groups I feel that I really found people who I can truley trust. But most importantly I feel that the 7th period language Arts class grew a bond over the school year. We could talk about anything that we had a problem and we would always find a solution. Leaving 7th is going to be tough for me becuase I'm going to miss all the good times we had in 7th period language arts, 4th period science,2nd period socail studies, and 5th period math.

  2. I have grown very much this past year. Outside of LA I have gone out of my confert zone and did different things. I talked to different people and relized that I have alot of stuff in common with them then I thought I did. I remember one time in school basketball season I was next to one of my very good friends, Julia Braungart and Mr. G told me that I matured alot this year, and then Julia goes, "this girl? what? mature?" haha. So during this school year I have matured... I still "talk", but I have gotton better at not doing it "in class".

  3. I have grown a lot this year. I have grown a lot in Language Arts class. I have matured a lot this year. (Some of you may disagree) I have made lots of friends and gave others the boot. I have gotten to get to know a lot of you. People that I used to hate have become good friends. People that used to make fun of me for my skin or my weight, or my height are all cool now. I want to thank you guys/girls who were always nice to me (No matter how annoying/creepy I was) It is hard for me to have to leave behind all the people who stuck with me through it all. NO I AM NOT BEING DRAMTIC; I KNOW I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN 3 MONTHS. But still a lot of things can happen in 3 months. Next year I'll probably go back to being "the fat, lazy, annoying kid". As of right now I am probably about the 9th maybe 10th most popular guy in the grade. Who knows, maybe I'll still have the same great friends. But I am still going to have the worst summer ever. My mom is having surgery on July 13th. But enough with the sob story I just want to say thanks to all the people who made me feel, for the first time in my life, like I belonged here.

    I do not want anyone to feel left out, but I really feel like I should recognize all of you who made this year the best one ever. (Please don't get mad if I can't spell your name) First and foremost DAN PAVLICK- for being a great friend and bodyguard.
    DANIELLE PACKARD- For being the most awesome friend-that-is-a-girl that a guy can have.
    ANTHONY MARTIN- For guiding me back into reality whenever I got too cocky.
    JOE BROWNE- Great bus buddy and friend all around.
    LUKE ANDERSON- For being a great mentor and lunch buddy.
    MIKE ROMANCHACK- You're a great lunch buddy as well.
    BRANDON WIZACOWSKI- Despite the fact that you think I use you, I love you man. (In a brotherly way)
    MRS. MONTROSE- Best teacher I have ever had. (And I'm not just saying that because I have a good grade in Language Arts right now)
    NICK CIQUERIO- Always gives me his bagel bag, and he is good for laughs.
    IAN MASTROIANI- Ian is great for laughs and he is a good Math buddy.
    ALEXIS KELSO- Thanks for always giving me gum.
    ISAIGH VIOGHT- Thanks for always lending me your D.S. games.
    EMILY METZGER AND LIVI HARRIS- Thanks for supporting me that time in Math class.
    SEAN HEINS- You are a good bus buddy and Math buddy.
    I could go on for days, but my hand hurts and I still have to do my Math homework so I'll wrap it up here. It is not much coming for me, I guess, but I can only recognize and thank those of you who I listed and did not.

    ~Stewy~
    P.S. I am still available to those of you who appreciate me. I have a Face-book, Twitter, Blog ( www.harrypotterisepic.blogspot.com ) a Yahoo e-mail and 2 Mail.com e-mails.(you can find these by going to the "about me" section of my blog.

    P.P.S I want to say thank you to a couple of teachers as well.
    MR. CARROL- Thanks for putting up with my crap. I appreciate you very much.
    MR. SCHULTZ- Thanks for putting up with my crap as well. (The skeleton hands thing) You have showed me that sometimes you can come across a really cool teacher.
    MRS. MONTROSE- (see my first list of people)
    MR. G- I hope I get you next year. You are a good blog topic finder.
    MR. BUCHANAN- I have to say thanks to you. You're my homeroom teacher.☺
    And thanks to the rest of you for teaching me a little more than I knew last year.

  4. I have grown individually this year because I learned how to learn and cooperate with other people. I am thankful that I have had a great teacher like Mrs. Montrose. See you next year,thanks:).

  5. I've grown individually by staying strong and learning new things to make me a better person. In y social groups i've grown to listen to what my other friends have to say either if it doesn't make any sense or if it makes 100% sense! For my Language Arts class I have grown individually because I've learned to give every one an equal chance to either say or express themselves. I'd have to say that this 7th grade year to me it seemed like its come and gone so fast!!

  6. As an individual, I feel like I've started to learn new things everyday... like the importance of keeping my grades up, being kind, trying my best in sports, and so on. I learned that slacking off isn't going to really get you anything but negative attention. And when someone tries to be the class clown, it really just gets old. So thats how I've grown as an individual.
    I've also changed within my social group. I began to realize that I no longer cared about what people thought of me, and I was tired of being around people that were so worried about being cool.
    In the last two months or so of school, I made new friends. I like the friends I have now, because they're all very easy to get along with and they don't create pointless drama. They're really nice and funny and make me feel happy- the way friends should make you feel.
    Lastly, in my language arts class, I changed as a person. I learned to accept other people's opinions and P.O.V's. I also learned new words because of Ms. Montrose's vocabutoon:)

  7. Wow. Where do I begin? Let’s just say that I had a really fun school year. Seventh grade has been my favorite grade above all others. Individually, I learned a lot. I learned that you are who you are, and you should be proud of that. Everyone is beautiful in their own special way, and we should all love who we are. I know I do. :D If there’s one thing I learned this year, it’s to be yourself.
    Socially, I gained one or two friends. In the beginning of the year, I stayed in my own little group, but eventually I “came out of my shell” and met lots of new people. My friends are like my family, so we stick together no matter what. They're crazy, but that's why I love them. I hope there are more new kids next year so I can make even MORE friends!!!
    I really liked Language Arts this year. It was fun how we could all say what we felt and how we could talk so freely. Of course, we had the best Language Arts teacher EVER!!! :D In Language Arts, I felt like everyone there was my friend. I felt totally comfortable and free to speak my mind.
    I hope I get lots of new friends next year and I hope all of you who are my friends this year will stay with me. If they don’t, it’s their loss, now mine. Have a nice summer guys! I’ll miss you all! Love ya!

    P.S I LOVE Linkin Park and I like the song that Mrs. Montrose posted on the top of the blog page.


    A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believein yourself -Anonymous

    Best friends, we're the kind of people who laugh at a joke three times. Once when it's told, the second time when they explain it, and five minutes later when we finally get it.

    Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on them, and sometimes it's just enought to know they're there. -Anonymous

    You know when someone is a friend when you are about to break down and cry, but hey will say the stupidest, most random thing just to see you smile. -Anonymous

  8. Individually I have become more confident in my self. I used to see everyone in our school differently to be honest, but now I see everyone the same. Everyone is perfect in their own way and this language arts class helped me realize that. My self confidence has improved in language arts and I think my brain got a little bigger(:

    Thanks for a great year Mrs. Montrose!

  9. 7th grade was a GREAT year!!!! I have never had so much fun in a full year before. Like each year would always have at least one down fall. But this year there weren't any....not to mention this was the best softball season EVER!I don't know why...it just was...I felt needed this season. I was playing way more than I did last year, so I just felt important. And the last game of the season against Demassi, I got a speech from Mr.G; I have never gotten a "personal" speech before. So when he told me that speech I felt special. ANYWAY.....I loved this year!!!!

  10. I've grown individually by learning more, helping others, and being nice. I've grown in my social groups by hanging out with more people, and talking more instead of not with them. I've grown in my language arts class this year by learning more, listening instead of talking, and learning more on how to work with others.

  11. I have grown a lot this year. I thought in the beggining of the year I had to agree and please everyone else but I don't. I don't make fun of people and if someone is talking about someone negatively, I will stand up and have a voice. And I have learned not to care what other people think of you. I have been called a lot of names by a lot of different people but it doesn't matter anymore.

    Secondly, I learned who my REAL friends are. There has been oodles of drama and backstabbing in my social group and now I know who my real friends are. The ones who stick by my side through thick and thin and don't backstab.

    Another thing is that my diabetes has been up and down. One day, I got sp frustrated and it was horrible. The doctor said that it is valuable information and we will get it back on track and I stopped worrying.

    Finally, Mrs. Montrose has said a lot of inspiring things in this language arts class. I don't have words for it but she just does.

    Miss you guys:) Have a great summer! And we are graduating next year!!!!!

  12. This past year I became friends with some people that I never thought I would be friends with and I realized different things about myself that I didn't before. Even though this year had a lot of ups and downs I really enjoyed this year.(:
    Oh, and I learned all different kinds of techniques for writing in Language Arts.

  13. Wow... I've grown so much this year. Every experience brings a lesson, right? As an individual, I've become much more mature and also have worked on being more open with people. I used to keep most things inside because I was afraid of hurting the other person's feelings. As for my social group, I have mostly the same friends I had at the begining of the year,but i am closer to some of them now than before. In language arts, I have become stronger in grammer and writing. Most importantly, I learned how empathy is a very crucial emotion. We learned how this applied to the Holocuast and our own lives. Thank you for a great year Mrs. Montrose!!!

  14. I think I have grown in my social groups a lot. I know the kids to hang out with and the ones that I would be better off just avoiding. I got stronger in a new group of friends and made a lot of new ones. Despite all the drama and fights between classmates we are mature enough to move on. I loved 7th grade this year.

  15. I have grown in so many ways in the past year. I have also learned a lot. If I tried to list all of the ways I have learned and grown, it wouldn’t even fit into ten posts! So, I will pick some ways that I feel are important. And before I answer, I just want to say that I am going to miss the blog so much next year!

    How have I grown individually? I have learned not to judge a book by its cover. And by that, I don’t just mean what a person looks like. I mean what their attitude may SEEM to be. I have also grown to realize that when life knocks you down, you have to get back up. To me, that means that when something difficult happens, you eventually have to get on with your life. You can not dwell in the past for the rest of your life.

    This year, I have made a lot of friends! I am so happy that I have been able to make lots of new friends this year (you know who you are) and be able to keep most of my old friends. And for my “old” friends, and “new” friends, I love you ALL!

    In my language arts class, we have learned a lot this year! We read some good books, watched some good movies, and learned some new things. But when I go to next year, there is one thing that I am going to miss a LOT: VOCABUTOONS! Who knew how much satisfaction a seventh grader could get from putting a sticker on a poster?! I know I didn’t!

    I don’t want to end my post!  That would mean that my last blog post EVER for this year will be finished! That is so sad! I know I am going to have to end it sometime, but I am not ready yet! I don’t know about everyone else, but I have LOVED the blogs this year! I have gotten to learn a lot about my classmates, and it DEFINITELY beats regular homework! THE END!

    -Carrie Weaver
    PS. For those of you who actually take the time to read this really long post, THANKS! I just realized that this is my longest post all year! Yay! What a great way to end the year! :)

  16. That confuses me i do not know what that means....I think it means if we've met more friends and gotten better at language arts. Both are yes

  17. I have grown alot this year individually by being my own person and thinking my own thoughts. What I mean is that I used to be attached to my bestfriend in 5th and 6th grade I wouldnt leave her side now I hooked off now thinking and having my own opinion. 5th and 6th grade for me was getting used to people getting to know people, for starting a new school and all. In my social Groups I know that I can be a great person by giving advice and being supportive of my friends. This year in my 7th grade language arts class, I have learned alot. Especially, about empathy and to be an empathetic person to care for everyone. To grow up and not let anyone control me, I go my own way and that everyone has a place in the world so dont take it away from them. And to not judge people by how much money they have, or to be a mean nasty person.

  18. I have grown individually in my social group by inviteing more people into my life. I'm really not the person who would exactly just start being friends with someone I may barely know I don't know maybe i'm just too cautious.But I have gotten to know new people and learned how to become a better friend, and a better person. And to trust people for once in my life. Also to become more open minded. Ive progressed well in Language Artes. This has truely been one of my best years. But I really don't consider this a goodbye because we will always see our friends or talk to our friends no matter what. And I <3 the song one of my favorites.

  19. I've grown as an individual by kind of realizing who I am and whats best for me, at my age I guess. As I realize things it influences my choices when it comes to my social group, for instance since I've learned new things about myself I've found out who some of my true friends are.

    I <3 your post!!!! You have made new friends (idk if that is me or not) and in my eyes, you have become more confident.

    Carrie,

    As I loved Lydia's, I loved your post too. Our social group did have a lot of drama, but we got through it (trust me, I think you know what I am talking about) I have been called some pretty harsh names but, I don't let that knock me down :)

  27. This year in 7th grade, I've grown socially and individually. I used to have just one big group of friends. Now after this year I found more people I can hang-out with. Individually I found out who to talk to and who to evade. I also learned that I shouldn't be a follower, but to be a leader. Now.
    Mrs. Montose's 7th grade Language Arts class taught me alot this year. It taught me to be empathetic to my friends. It also taught me a myriad of incongrous vocabutoons. I use vocabutoons everyday... No lie. For the teachers:
    Mrs. Montrose: Thanks for making language arts really fun this year. No offense but I thought language arts was really boring, till you taught me. Thanks!

  29. 7th grade was a really really great year. I have grown in so many ways. Individually i have grown a lot. I didn't worry so much about what people thought of me. And Socially i have grown a lot too. This year i found myself talking to different people. my really close friends didn't change much. But i did make a lot of other friends too. And finally in language arts. My writing skills improved a lot this year. But that wasn't the only thing. Mrs, Montrose was probably the most inspirational teacher i ever had and taught me a lot of valuable life lessons that i can always use. :)

  30. I've grown so much this year! At the beginning of the year I always used to hang out with the same group of people, but now I talk to anyone who is anybody. In 7th grade I have matured greatly. At the beginning of the year I always used to judge people on what they wore and just stupid stuff like that. Now I realize that what is on the inside matters so much more than what is on the outside. Thank you Mrs. Montrose for teaching us how to share empathy with others.
    Thank you to all the teachers that have helped me grow into the person I am today. I'll miss you!!!!! :)

  32. I've grown a lot this year in 7th grade by thinking what I think and realizing a lot about my self. Mrs. Montrose in your class I grew by learning that everyone is different and it’s good be empathetic to others because they will give that back to you. Also I grew by, last year and the years before that I was around people that would always say mean comments ( all of us had said mean comments so those people are including me) but now I think you showed us ALL that those mean comments aren't worth it. That it’s good to be nice to everyone and notice that everyone is special in their own way. The last thing I grew by is about my self and that is that I can be only the best I can be and that is my self, I won’t let anyone tell me differently that I’m not good enough. This is because I’m good enough for my self and no one else. I'm going to miss all of you including the teachers I'll come and visit :).

  34. i have made friends and lost some. i have figured out who i can trust the most. Brooke was my best friend last year but when i met Ana we had a lot more in common! So now i can trust Ana more than anyone else and i believce that she is the greatest friend anyone could have!!!!! But through the year i have seperated from some people and ganged up with others. Im not completely sure what you would call that though....... O Well! Sometimes in class (like spanish 1) when we pair up i am all alone. i get very sad and depressed but that is only because none of my friends are in nthat class.

  35. well, first off, I just wanted to say that I almost started tearing up as I read everybody's posts.
    Second off, I cant believe that the school year is almost over! Im gonna miss everyone of you guys!!
    And now to answer the blog!

    I have to say that I think that I have become more mature this year, than I was last year. Also, I have learned not to judge people so harshly all the time (which was a tough habit to brake).
    I think that in all, this year was the best, not only becuase it was fun, but because we have learned things about ourselves that we never knew last year.

    ok, well I just want you guys to know that im gonna miss you, all!!

  37. I've grown alot in many ways in social groups, my L.A. class, and idividually in my 7th grade year. But the way I've grown the most is being more mature. I never leave anybody out and always help somebody in need. I never talk back to my parents or teachers and never flip out on my friends if they did something by accident. So 7th grade has helped me alot.

  39. Stewy...... AWESOME POSTS!



    This year.....So much has changed for me. I'm no longer bullied like I've been every other year. 

    Today when everyone sang happy birthday to me, I was overjoyed cuz I know in the past no one would've done such a thing so who ever set that up..... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! 

    Along with that I'm at least aquented (hope a spelled that right) with almost everyone. So just that has made me change the way I feel about myself and others. 

    These people have made school great for me this year

    BRYANT SMITH: Best friends since pre-K at my moms preschool. And if it wasn't for you I would have never done TRACK so thank you for that.

    Collin "Stewy" Stewart: Math buddy 1 of 2. With you and your jokes I can't say makes people that I knOw that u don't, laugh. It made math bearable (sorry mrs. Quimby) Your the only person that's ever made me have to change myself cuz of laughing too hard.

    Matt Mozitis: Other math buddy. We've been friends since t-1. You definitely helped add extra sugar to Stewy's jokes. And intruducing me to new people is definitely helping me meet new people around.

    Pierce Adams: No matter if were "pretend" fighting or joking around. Track was definetly fun with Mikey and everyone else.

    Amber Lo Presti: Even though your moving we will all miss u not matter how many times uve embarassed me constantly. :D

    Brooke Michael: your awesome and super nice
    Ana Castro: ..........enough said lol

    LUKE ANDERSON: YOU ARE THE LOUDEST PERSON IN S.S. BY FAR (BY FAR!!!) AND YOUR JOKES ARE HILARIOUS. and thanks for pulling me from walking into the girls bathroom cuz I wasn't paying attention.........twice.

    Brad Orth: We've had interesting times this year buddy. :)

    ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN ALL MY ACEDEMIC CLASSES:

    Lydia: hi
    Matt Moz: Already said your part...
    Kaylee: Science seat partner
    Nick C: Lots to say buddy, so I'll leave it at that :)

    My buddy from Lumberton: PETTY!!!!! I know your not gonna read this but your awesome man!

    And Last

    Mr. Shultz:

    You have got to be the best teacher I've ever had. Besides the fact you've helped me in situations with other students. Let me in student council. Haven't kicked me out of student council. Your also a hilarious guy! And you've made me try harder in track. I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN 12 SECONDS ON THE 100 METER IF YOU WEREN'T THERE PUSHING ME TO GO HARDER. So thank you for everything Mr. Shultz and everything else!!!!!!

  41. WOW! I can’t believe this is my last couple days of 7th grade. 7th grade has opened many doors for me. I see the world in a whole different way. Ending this has been positive and negative. It is positive because it is finally summer. Negative because a couple of my best friends are going to high school. These two friends are Madi Critchfield and Charlee Greco. I have nothing but great experiences with them. They are part of the reason I am the person I am today. Charlee is just like my older sister. I look up to her a lot because I don’t have a older sibling to. Madi is one of the best people I have ever met, awesome kid. We met when I was in 3rd grade and she was in 4th grade. We have been pretty good friends throughout. I am going to miss them a lot. For social groups I don’t talk to many people in our grade. Sometimes I just wish I didn’t even go to that. People have made up sooooo much drama about some things that don’t even make sense. They just really get on my nerves. Language arts has been a blast. It has been so much and I have learned so much.
    Thank you Mrs. Montrose for giving me a wonderful year.
    Goodbye all. See some of you in the summer!! 

  42. In my 7th grade year, I have grown in so many different ways. Individually, I have learned to always be yourself, listen to what others have to say, and don't judge a book by it's cover. Socially, I have gained a lot of new friends, and came closer to my old ones. In language arts.... wow... I have learned so much. I remember in lab, creating the books... Learning pronouns.... learning homophones... Reading Gathering Blue.... Devil's Arithmetic.... There has been so much that we've done... I'll miss this class a lot.... But the thing I'll miss the most will be VOCABUTOONS, like Carrie. I really loved blurting out "VOCABUTOON" at random moments when I heard one. I remember the first vocabutoon, aloof, and all the way to zany. It seems so long ago that I did my first blog, and got the paper with the web address and directions. I'm really going to miss this blog idea... Thanks so much for all the fun in language arts this year, Ms. Montrose! :)

  43. This year was amazing to start it off, the people, the teachers, and especially my friends. I have grown into a very outspoken person and this year I made a lot more friends. (Ha-ha that was cheesy) There is honestly not one thing that I can say was negative about this year. (Besides a little bit of drama here and there) The people in our grade has been with me since Kindergarden, I remember sitting in Ms. Bigham’s class with Danielle and Hailey M. talking about how we should have a play date and go on the slip and slide. One thing that our grade has is that we basically all know each other on a personal level and I’m pretty sure I can walk down the hallway and name everyone’s first and last names, and say hi to them and they would know who I was too. (I hope) I can’t wait for 8th grade! Thank you Ms. Montrose you are the best Language Arts teacher ever and thank you so much for everything you did for us! (Thank you to the other teachers to: Mr. Rudman, Mr. Shultz, and Mrs. Quimby) I couldn’t ask for a better 7th grade year and I really don’t want to say goodbye! (tear, tear!)

  44. I really like Carissa's I also did learn to be empathic and respect everyone's emotions like they were your own.

  45. I have grown a lot this year as well as everybody else. I have been open to a lot of my friendships that have made me learn so much about the person than I've ever known. Being in Mrs. Montrose's class not made me see the world, but see it in another person's shoes or perspective. Things like try not to leave everyone out, even though people you may not like may turn around as being one of your best friends within a blink of an eye. Just because you have given them the chance to open up and talk about themselves sharing similar hobbies and what not. So again thank you Mrs. Montrose and Mr. G for passing this goal on to us that will live on and on forever.:)

  47. I've mostly grown individually this year because last year i have to say a lot of people were immature including me, but i think I matured and so has everyone else. I didn't really grow in my social groups. In Language Arts I grew because last year i didn't like L.A at all, but this year it was one of my favorite classes.

  49. This year my views of people changed so much. I always would instantly judged a person based on their cover considering that I hate surprises, and I don't really like the idea of some random personality. Mrs. Montrose taught me about empathy and giving everyone a chance to be my friend. I became more aware of who I am as a person and I try to be aware of other people. I'm going to miss everyone this year because I always looked forward to going to LA. I can't wait to come back for eighth grade and see my friends. I am proud of how i've grown as a person this year. I am also proud of how Mrs. Montrose completly changed our class's perspective on life.

  54. I have grow alot as a student and a person. I want to say thanks and bye to all the teachers and students. Especially Mr. Shultz because it was his first class. In Mrs. Montrose's class I learned alot about the Holocaust. The Holocaust has always been something I thought about. So goodbye everyone.

  55. This year, I've learned so much in Mrs. Montrose's class. I've learned not only things in language arts, I've also learned to be empathetic towards people. I already know I'll see Mrs. Montrose next year because she's my neighbor, so see you sometime in the summer!

  56. Ok I know I didn't post my blog in time to get credit, and I don't even think anyone will probably read this but I was just reading everyone's posts and I have to write something. Ok so this year was a really great year for me. I grew individually by realizing that I really don't care what people think about me (as you all know from my hair(: ) Last year, I would have been too worried over what people might say or how they would react and call me a freak or something. But what I learned is that I really have nothing to be afraid of. I can just be my crazy, weird self and get throught life without any worries. I never thought I would get so many compliments on my hair in my entire LIFETIME than I did that first day when I came into school with red hair. I have to admit, I was REALLY scared when I came onto the bus that day, but SOOO many of you just made me feel beutiful by complimenting me all day long. It was really amazing and I'm so glad to have all of you in my grade (:
    Ok, so social groups.. where do I start.. well I found out that some friends will stay true to you through anything, and others, not so much. Some friends you can trust, and some you can't. I think i really found out who my true friends are this year (you know who you are <3 you guyss!!) Also, alot of people i would have considered "popular" last year are some of my really great friends now. Thanks so much for reaching out to me! Lastly, I think this blog helped me so much with everything that I've always wanted to tell all of my classmates. I feel HEARD for once in my life! So thankyou mrs.Montrose for this oppertunity, you're an amazing language arts teacher! So bye evryone, I can't wait to see you all next year! (:
