How To Write A Narrative Essay About My First Day Of High School

Improved Essays
The sound of my alarm awakened me from a deep coma. Today was the first day of not just any day but the first day of high school. All I could think about was the empowering, negative stories about high school being so repulsive with all the strict teachers, the really difficult tests, and being at the bottom of the food chain once again.
“I pray to God that these stories are irrelevant to high school, I implored.”
The car ride to Grayson High School was longer than I intended. When I got out of the car, I had no idea where to proceed. I was accustomed to returning to Bay Creek Middle School and uniting with all my friends after a delightful summer.
“Surely, I believe that I will see at least one of my friends from middle school, I cried out.”
The freshman academy was near my homeroom on the good hand. Every step I took, my heart thumped a second faster.
As I approached the high school, I saw multiple doors but was not for sure on which one to open. I just chose the one that less people were using. The door creeped inch by inch and I could not believe my eyes. A roar of sounds came crashing upon me as thousands of students talked and giggled as of if it wasn’t there first day of high school. “I’m thinking to myself who let the zoo out?” I trudged around the hallways for about fifteen minutes until I finally discovered my

I hollered her name and she was evoked by my voice. She dashed towards me and, we bear hugged for about 60 seconds. I nervously paced into the lunch room to get my lunch, but the lines were as long as the assembly line of the Ford Motor Company. After about 10 minutes of not sitting down, I eventually got my food. The awkward part about lunch is not being able to find an available seat. Intentionally, spitefully, I noticed a seat by a blonde, skinny girl who seemed affable. She acknowledged my presence by mumbling, “That her name was

    As I wake up, my stomach quivers with fear and anxiety. My body reminds me of what my mind desperately tries to forget. As I dress, I keep in mind what I wear will be seen by everybody at the event. I devour a bowl of Cocoa Puffs in hope that my stomach becomes alleviated. Today, the Forrest County Spelling Bee commences at Presbyterian Christian School, and I am a competitor.…

    Alex Wang English 10H Ms. Denchfield 10/13/15 Day 1 Alone, yet encompassed by the masses. Sequoia Middle School. The previous day, I had come and registered at this school, so consequently I had no idea what to expect, where to go, and who I was going to meet, seeing as how I hadn’t gone to orientation and didn’t have any idea about what this school was like. The first person that I happened to converse with was a yard duty of whom I asked for directions. He seemed to be a younger male, average height, somewhat skinny, and overall a nice person.…

    It was the beginning of high school, the start of a new chapter in my life; after coming into the school, the mall looked like the feeding of the five thousand. St. Thomas More has over a thousand students, and every single one was there on that first day, trying to find the way to their new classes just like me. Walking through the halls of St. Thomas More with the unfamiliar smell of the classrooms reminded me of what lies ahead. I thought it was going to be difficult, because I wouldn’t see anyone I know. Fortunately, some of my old friends from St. Pius were in my gym class, so I was glad that I would not be alone in gym class.…

    I walked into the familiar main entrance of the school, crossing my arms and setting my face into what I thought was an intimidating glare. Although I looked like an angry toddler, with my round face and childish glower, my attitude came across very clearly: I was not happy at all to be back at school. After getting into a huge fight with my friend group earlier that year, I was starting high school essentially friendless. It wasn’t as if I didn’t have another group of people to fall back onto.…

    “Why are we moving?” I whined, “I don’t want to switch schools again.” It was August 2010, and I had just been informed that we were moving again, and no matter what people say, it doesn’t get easier. This was the fifth time I had switched schools in seven years. “It’s a better situation,” my dad said, “It’s forty five minutes closer to my work, and we’ll have an acre of land all to ourselves.”…

    Maquoketa, upon my initial impression when I moved here in 2012, was a small quiet town and although that is something that I now I know it is also so much more. I was in middle-school when I first came but it was in high school that I truly grew to appreciate the wonderful community. My first year of high school was certainly unnerving, although I had previously attended an elementary and middle school that were more than double its size it still held an allure of suspense over what may soon come.…
