Middle school was a great experience. There were people that made this a good experience and some people that made it a bad, but mostly good.
On person that made middle school special was Dr. Coladonato. He was strict so right when I would get home, I would do his homework right away and make sure I did it because if I didn’t, I knew I would be in trouble. We also had a lot in common, like hockey, which made us closer in a teacher student way. We also had another co teacher that we were very close with. We all had one thing in common, hockey. We liked different teams so when these teams would play agents each other, the next morning would be a living hell for the losing team.
Coach Donovan, the 8th grade basketball coach, would also put a lot of hope into my day. I would wake up every morning and think to myself that I didn’t want to go to school. But then I would remember that if I went to school that basketball would be a reward for the day and would get my mind off thing that was going on threw out the day. This coach changed my middle school experience by bringing joy to my day and made me look forward to the end of the day.
This coach and teacher changed my character in a big way and helped me think that school wasn’t such a bad place to be.
