She was 9 years old and it was her first day of school. Her family had just moved into America this summer. Her family moved in here for better education and more opportunities. Unfortunately, her father had died of heart attack two months before they moved to America. Her family moved in with her mom sister until her mom finds a job and house. Her aunt registered her for public school and even dropped her off for the first day. She was very nervous how the teachers and her classmates will be. How hard the school will be and how will she communicate with them. She went in and the teacher welcomed her and showed her desk with her name tag on it. The teachers and her classmates were so patient with her. School in U.S.A are something other countries children dream of because their schools consist of one teacher for 100 students, floor as a seat and a desk, and no walls or roof. When I moved here, I notice a lot of differences. One of the differences that stood out the most was schools. The education system here is so much different than my country. The school is not required there instead it 's optional. In Pakistan, you only have grades till 10 then it 's college while here you go till 12 grades. In Pakistan, you have grades 1-10, kindergarten is optional, in one building while here you have 3-4 buildings. There 's no such thing as high school there. Upper grades are usually in the second floor while lower grades are in the bottom floor. Here, you usually go to your teacher…
coming in it also meant that there was another new school year that would start. This new school year was even more special than the other school years because this was the year an old school that’s been there for 106 years was going to be re-modeled, and it was also my senior year. I was half way through my first day of school as a senior; so far I felt good about my classes but yet there was one class I still needed to attend after lunch. I was existent about going to it. So as I heard the…
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…
grade closer to graduating and you’re no longer the new group to the school, right? Not in Hobbs, Nm. I have never lived in a town where 9th-grade freshman have a totally separate school until I moved here. So when the time came and freshman school finished I felt like I was going to be a freshman all over again my sophomore year. I dreaded having to introduce myself to the whole class like most teachers make you do on the first day of school to become familiar with the rest of your peers.…
Friday finally came and it was my fourth day of Kindergarten and I was loving it. I walked into the classroom expecting thing to be no different than they had been the past days. I sat in my seat and patiently waited for Taylor to arrive so that I could tell her about my plans for the weekend. Still waiting and she never showed up. I began to feel and very empty feeling in my stomach like I just had been punched. Taylor wasn’t coming to school and I didn’t know how I was going to get through the…
-Four Day School Week- I bet you would love a four day school week, but is it unhealthy ? Yes actually it is very unhealthy for us and I will tell you why. My goal is to prove that my side of a four day week schedule. I have been thinking about this topic, and know that i 've studied it i feel good about it.Students need more time to to learn a four - day - week - schedule is not enough. A three day weekend gives less memory retained. Sometimes students do not think that their home is safe. My…
The first day of school is something that is dreaded by most, it is the end of the wonderful time we call summer, it starts months and months of stress and pain, and it means getting up at six every weekday, with about four to six hours of sleep. Once you finally realize that you cannot escape the impending doom that is upon you, it is time to get up and get ready for it. Now school is not that bad, but the first day is one of my least favorite days of the year, I dislike the introductions, the…
would relive my high school graduation. I never thought this day would come and when it finally did, I was more terrified of what life after high school would be like. However, that day I could not wait to finally throw my cap in the air and say “I did it”. This day was full of happiness, excitement, and even fear. The happiness I felt the day of my graduation was probably the same as when a mother sees their child for the first time, or when a teenager gets their license. It is a day that…
different high schools? Well even if you have been the new kid at least once you know how it feels. The first day you walk into a school you have never been too. Everyone is staring at you. Inside you are freaking out, wondering if you are going to walk into the wrong class or be late. We all know there is lunch during school and this is a hard time for a new student. The first high school I went to was Franklin high school. I remember my first day because I got in trouble for having red hair…
is coming down to my last week of school. This journey that seems forever will be over. I never understood people when they would say to me “before you know it you will be graduating, walking across the stage”. Mainly because I was little and the people saying it would be older and I truly thought it took a long time to graduate. If there is one thing I could change about my senior year is make the time go by slower. Something I have learned throughout my educational journey is each grade I…
