My First Day of High School
One day I’ll never forget is my first day of high school. The first day was crazy, the hallways were busy, the older students were frightening and the whole new environment was just scary in itself. That day began early in the morning, to be exact… at 5:45am.That day I woke up fully awake, and basically jumped out of my bed. I had my outfit picked out for over a week already. It was supposed to be really hot that day, so I wore jeans, a cute tank top, and my new sneakers. After I got dress, I did my hair, my classic hairstyle was a high top ponytail with a braid. I then made sure my backpack was fully packed, and went downstairs to eat. At around 6:25 I was waiting for the bus. I remember my mom telling me how she

First thing that morning we had to go to our orientation classroom. My classroom was the first on the left when you walked in, so it wasn’t a big challenge trying to find it. I went in, and took my seat in the front. The classroom felt like it hasn’t been used in a few years. Shortly after, the warning bell rang followed by the late bell. I received another copy of my schedule, and went to my locker to try my lock again. After meeting orientation room, I had chorus first period, then honors geometry (fun fact: I felt super cool having an honors class for the first time), next was world history, and then was science research. This class was the most intimidating class ever. First, there were only four other freshmen in that class, and the rest were all upperclassman. Second, my teacher stated he was teaching the class on a college level, which is extremely intimidating for any kid out of middle school to hear, especially on their first day. Once that class was over, it was my lunch period. I quickly met up with my friends, so I wasn’t eating alone at lunch. The cafeteria was completely wild, you have the tables in the back corners full of seniors, and then you had the freshmen in the front. My friends and I shortly found a table, and waited to be called for lunch. In middle school we used to have to wait to be called to get lunch, so we thought we

    My first week of high school was pretty good. I like all of my teachers, and my classes are in a good order. It was difficult waking up early on the first day because prior to then, the earliest I had woken up during the summer was 8:00. I got lost going to FACS on the first day, and then again on the second day. I found my regular classes easily enough, and I haven’t gotten any tardies.…

Two years ago I moved from my home in Blue Springs where I was comfortable and serene to this new foreign small town that I’ve never even heard of before now.

    After 4 hours of math, science and history it was finally time to get our stuff and walk over to the junior high for the 8th grade graduation rehearsal. I needed to go get my stuff from my locker with the other 150 kids that also needed their stuff. I fight through all those people and managed to get to my locker. I grabbed my backpack with my lunch and the book I’ve been reading “From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler”. Now that everyone has their stuff, we started walking.…

    He directed me to my locker and pointed me in the right direction towards my first class of the day, P.E. I thought to myself, “what a friendly environment this school has.” Had I been at Redwood, my previous school, and asked these questions as an 8th grader, I might’ve been treated with hostility and reluctance to help. That was a pleasant start to my first day, and I headed on over to my first class.…

    I wanted to keep my book sack light, but to do this I had to make a few trips to my locker every day. It would definitely take me a minute or two because of the crowd, and I felt my locker just pointing and laughing at me as I tried to approach it. Despite the students rummaging through the halls, I was able to attend my classes on time. Of course, the first day of high school was mostly what I expected it to be like. It feels nice to have a fresh start, with some great teachers that certainly look forward to teaching me, and I most surely look forward to learning from…

    As I went to my first day of school in a new city I was nervous, I didn't know if I was going to make any new friends, if I was going to fit in. The first day began and I immediately met Randy and Byanca, little did I know at the time that they would be my friends for all of my school career. Time went by and so did the grade levels, I would always struggle with one subject and thrive in another. During my elementary and middle school years I would struggle in language arts and history, but I would thrive in mathematics mainly because I love numbers.…

    Anxiously the freshman class stood waiting to get inside, as we crowded the door to get inside and we could hear cheering. We all were wondering what was going on inside. It was the seniors cheering us on. All of us finally got inside and were told to do a bunch of random things like, a burping contest, seeing who had the most pennies and wackiest shoe, who could scream the loudest, and who could come up with the most creative design out of our right shoes, but that’s just a little part of what we did that day. I started to be more comfortable after I knew we were going to be doing things like that.…

    My first day of middle school was hell, I have always been good at school. My grades have never been bad and neither have my actions and or attendance. Probably from having a mom that is also a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school.…

    I had second lunch with people I didn't know, and I had to figure out who to sit with. After everyone ate, they would go outside to play four square, basketball, soccer, and football. There were also a lot of kids who just walked around and talked. After lunch, I had math with Mr. Duffy and I walked into class so nervous I could barely move my legs because I am not good at math even being home schooled…

    The school was a ten-minute walk from my home; I remember driving there with my parent. When my father pulled up to the school, I was sitting in the back sit looking up at the building. I couldn 't believe student learn in this building; it was big and beautiful. I remember my and I walking to the front office, and the lady was smiling and saying in English wish I did not understand, but I smiled. A minute later I was handed a paper; it was probably the schedule which I did not understand.…

    I went and got my second schedule just so I didn't get lost during the day. I found some of my friends and started talking with them because school wasn't going to start for another 5 minutes. But eventually I headed up to my homeroom class with my backpack since I didn't have a locker quite yet. When I got in there I saw some of my friends had the same homeroom as me and I went and sat down next to my friend.…
