Personal Narrative: My First Day Of School In The United States

Decent Essays
I remember my first day of school in United States, It was terrifying. As the principal walked me to my classroom butterflies were flying in my stomach. I was really nervous since I didn’t speak English and couldn’t communicate with students and teachers. The teachers would often handout homeworks and I couldn’t do most of them I was ashamed and scared that someone might talk bad about me and no one would like me. But after several months I learned to speak a few word in English and became friends with Ella and Diana. My parents always encourage me and my siblings to do well in school.

    Before high school, I always thought I was an average student, but when I transitioned into high school, people started to point out that I had potential.

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

    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.…
