The First Day of High School

On August 16, I finally experienced my first day of high school. I never expected this event to happen in my life. During my previous years at school, I never imagined myself in the grounds of high school. Honestly, I was very very scared. I was scared of big kids , strict teachers, harder classes, and most of all, my GPA. The day before high school, I thought to myself how I'm going to survive through the next four years of my life. I was curious how it was going to go, how will I make friends, how I will study for all the heavy work ahead of me. However, deep inside my heart I felt that I might learn a lot of good things during my high school years.

On the first day of high school, as I stepped into the school building,s I had felt as if I saw the "bad'' parts of high school. I was frightened as I saw big and taller people around that were towering over me, big buildings, and I knew no one. No one came with me and I basically knew nobody. Everybody was "looking'' at me and saying "freshman" or "look its a freshman". I went to my first class and all I did was nervously laugh and try to look as if I was situated. I did that for all of my classes. However, I was still scared and began to worry about things that I never thought I would have trouble with. Am I going to sit alone, how come my locker isn't working, oh no my lunch is in my locker how am I going to open it? That lunch when my lunch was jammed,I remember I had the courage to ask a junior to help me open my locker. Her name was Allison. She was so nice to me and she couldn't open my locker, however she decided to stay with me until someone opened my locker. Now she's in the newspaper team with me and I would really like to thank her and dedicate this post to her because without her I would of been all alone in the halls.

Now that I have one month and a half of experience, I feel way calm. I have made new friends, my teachers know my name, and I'm even friends with older kids including my math buddy Natalie and of course Allison. Even though I had a rough start, I would like to thank everyone for helping me survive the first day of school.
