    Everything is in the same boat at the very start of school however soon after you are expected to know your way around. It can be difficult being one of those people who learn slower than others. I remember one of my teachers getting mad at this girl countless times for being late to class the second week of school. It is better to figure out your way sooner than later if you are in this situation. Whenever I think about not knowing your way around I think about one of my friends. It is the second month of school and he always walks right past our advisory class. I don 't understand how he doesn 't know where it is by now and that he keeps making the same mistake. Luckily he always realizes before he goes into another classroom which would be awkward. One of my friends went on to tell me how he has walked into the wrong classroom countless times. To make it worse he has walked in late to the wrong classroom while the teacher was talking. If this was me I would have died of embarrassment and I would forever be haunted by that memory.
