My First Day at Senior High School
Monday, July 15th
Since I was younger, I had always imagined what senior high school would be like. Last year, that imagination finally became real. One day, early in the morning, I woke up feeling both excited and nervous because it was my first day at senior high school. At that time, I was worried about meeting new teachers and classmates. However, I also felt proud because I had officially become a senior high school student.
I wore my new uniform and prepared my school bag carefully. Then, my parents took me to school. When I arrived, the school building looked bigger than I expected, and there were many new students standing in the yard. At first, I felt shy and confused because I did not know anyone in my class. After that, a friendly student greeted me and introduced himself. We talked for a few minutes, and I started to feel more comfortable.
The orientation program began in the hall. The principal gave a welcoming speech and explained the school rules. Then, our homeroom teacher introduced herself and asked us to introduce ourselves one by one. When it was my turn, I felt nervous, but I tried to speak clearly. Fortunately, my classmates listened carefully and smiled at me.
After the introductions, we played some simple games to know each other better. We laughed together, and the atmosphere became warmer. Finally, the bell rang, and it was time to go home. I felt tired, but I was happy because I had made new friends and learned many new things.
In the end, I realized that being brave helped me overcome my fear. My first day at senior high school taught me that new beginnings can be scary, but they can also bring new opportunities and friendships.
