Personal Narrative: My First Day In Public School

Improved Essays
She had been to the school countless times with her dad before today because she loved to attend the sports events, but today was different. Today was her first day of school, a public school that is. Her alarm went off but she was already wide awake, staring at the clock she felt her stomach start to twist uncomfortably. As she began to get ready all she could think about was what the other kids would think of her. Would they accept her? Would they ignore her? Would they talk to her? Her social skills were definitely not up to par, but has one ever met a homeschooler that had the utmost attractive personality?
She threw on a red tee that had the phrase "Save The Drama for Your Llama" written on the front (there was her first mistake), some jean shorts that came to the very top of her knees and headed to school. Walking into school her social anxiety kicked in. Instead of heading to the gym just as every other student does in middle school, she hid in her dad 's classroom until the bell rang.

Even though she commented on how odd my shirt was (can you blame her), and blatantly made fun of me for going into the wrong classroom, We seemed to click.
I thought to myself. "She is going to be one of my first friends at school." Emily would have never thought one of her first friends at SMS would have been a popular cheerleader, but Lainee seemed to accept her and like her for who she was, even if that wasn 't being one of the coolest or most liked person at school
Soon the first school day had ended and Emily trudged to her dad 's 8th grade Physical Science classroom. As she turned down the hallway she had bumped into a peculiar girl she met the day before school, her name was Catherine. She always wore ribbons in her hair, but Emily liked her. She was shy but only until Emily had gotten to know her soon

    I watched the entrance, where the remaining few students entered and were greeted by their friends like a mini reunion. The class was covered in aquatic animals, inspirational quotes, and a giant smart board that read “Welcome to English 9.” The bell rang, “Good morning students’ and welcome to English 9, for today’s assignment I would like for you guys to get in groups of four,” said the English Teacher. Everyone quickly scrambled to get in groups with their friends. The sight of a group of three girls made me feel welcome, I asked “Can I join your group?”…

    This personal narrative is going to be about the first day of Middle School and my experiences as a 6th grader. It is going to go after my emotions and other descriptive details of the first day. I still remember how the seat belt felt tightening across my chest as the car got closer to the Middle School. During that time I knew nothing about being in a big school because the biggest school i've been in was yankee ridge. (Which is really small).…

    Amanda Perring Narrative

    Amanda Perring carefully stepped off the bright yellow school bus onto the clean, asphalt driveway leading to her parent’s garage. Her house was a classic, one story suburb on the outskirts of Los Angeles, located in middle class neighborhood where no one had to worry about money but there wasn't much extra to spend. Her mother and father were both respected doctors and were almost never home when Amanda was. Every day on the bus, she would sit at the very back with no one else, completely silent the entire way home, most often reading a book. When she had first moved to her new school a few years ago, Amanda had been the easiest kid to pick on with her high grades and care about school.…

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend, Georgina Larson by the water fountain. She’s never hard to find, because her hair is light blonde, and she’s always wearing really flashy outfits.…

    This year has been a crazy one. I came from a public school, not knowing anyone, so I terrified and didn't know what to expect. I struggled with trusting others, time management and battling multiple tasks at once. Luckily, I had a lot of practice throughout the year. For instance when we had to record a News Show for Mr.Mora's class, I was faced with all of these problems.…

    I went from an exceptional student to one who talks back. Since freshman year Mrs. R had been my favorite teacher, even though I did not have her until I was a junior. She was kind and always there if you needed to take a breather in her class, or simply do whatever you needed to on the computer, if it was your lunch. I've heard students complain about how they did not like her and how annoying she was. However, I couldn't understand why they felt that way about Mrs. R. I never saw her the way they did.…

    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.…

    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.…

    Growing up in a family of six, in a small town I was homeschooled. We had a homeschool group we often got together with and we did a lot with church and family. However, I grew up in a very different way than the average public school kid. Seventh grade rolled around and I was sent to a very small private school which had an average of ten kids per class. I adjusted easily and really enjoyed the social aspect of school.…

    For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…
