Imagine it is your first day in high school. Strutting along the wide open doors, we are here in front of the school thinking of what lies ahead from the perspective of a middle school grad. I have mixed emotions as to what to expect. Looking forward to meeting wonderful teachers and friends. There is a lot of questions in each and every one of us, thinking of as to where will our room assignments be, who will be our teachers and how we will get along with our new classmates in school. As I observe the
Your first day at a school you just moved to. You only know some of the people whom you met through football. No one else. It’s almost like you’re on a whole new planet. That’s how I felt when I moved to Amherst in the fifth grade. I had already started football in early August, so I knew about twenty people. Even so, there were nearly seven hundred kids in the fifth and sixth grades alone. I ride the bus to school because my mom thinks I will meet some of the other kids in my neighborhood, and
My first day at school My first day at school was a new adventure for me. I had to wear a school uniform: a blue dress and handmade leather sandals. Having run around all but naked for the first eight years of my life, it was very exciting. At school we learnt about Australian culture and its social classes as well as social classes worldwide. Throughout my studies I learnt that Australia wasn't a classless society. The class to which a person belonged determined how they were treated and we
My First Day at School I walked up the small hill towards the school with my parents. I breathed in the air and sighed. The air in Japan is so much cleaner than the air in Hong Kong, where there is a lot of pollution. I had my pencil case and lunch in my school bag like the email that had been sent to my parents had said. What am I going to do today? Is this school like my previous school in Hong Kong? Am I going to make any friends today? Did I chose the right school? Many questions in my head
Sitting in the passenger seat of my families’ minivan I nervously wait to pull into the school parking lot. As we turn the corner my legs begin to shake and my palms are getting clammy, this is my first day of high school. All I could do was think about the dramatic change in class size, I am coming from a school where there are only about three hundred kids in the entire school to a school where there are about three thousand kids in the entire school. This would not be as scary of experience except
First days are always nerve racking, whether it is the first day back-to-school or the first day at an incipient job, but nothing is more terrifying than your first day of high school. I attended high school in Philadelphia at a charter school; then I peregrinate to Florida the second semester of my freshman year. Despite the challenges I faced in the commencement, the overall outcome of my freshman year was outstanding. It was Christmas break, the last time I marched out of the old, soot-streaked
is one’s first day in high school; erect in front of them are the entrance to their fresh school life, now once one opens those doors to their fresh school life, there must be, at minimum, thousands of questions and thoughts coming to their mind; what does one expect of themselves getting into a life such as this? Some of those beliefs may go along the lines of, “I hope I meet many of my friends this year.” “This school year is going to be subsequently much tougher than any of my school years I have
My Beginning The bell rang and immediately froze. It was my first day of fourth grade and I was terrified. It wasn’t only that I was scared of attending a new school but also that this was my first time attending an American School. I was born in Delano, California but we had moved to Mexico when I was about 1-year-old and didn’t return until I turned 8 so all I knew to speak was Spanish. Now I was in a total new country and I didn’t understand anything around me. Everything looked different and
My Very First Day of School - Original Writing I can remember this day very clearly. I walk into a building with my mum, and a lady meets us, she takes my hand and takes me to her classroom, and then I saw that my mum was heading towards the gate and leaving me here, ALL ALONE. It was the first time for my mother to take me somewhere and just leave. I didn’t know why she left. I thought I would never see her again. I cried and the teacher tried to calm me down, but it didn’t work. She
A little girl goes to school for the first time wearing a blue striped t-shirt, blue jean shorts, and a brand new pair of sneakers. She wakes up early, fearful, excited, but mostly giddy. For such a little girl, she is exceptionally intelligent. She is ready to learn and has been asking her Mommy when this day would come for what has felt like a life time in kid years. Her mother did her hair in pigtails for the occasion, her outfit was laid out a week ahead, and her backpack had been packed for
