First school

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…

I woke up early that particular morning of the first day of my sixth-grade school year. I had gotten close to a full night’s rest that night with 7 hours of sleep. It was a brisk morning when I arrived to the front doors of the school. It had been the first time in two years since I had set foot in a school building. I had had been so anxious to where my anxiety actually converted into excitement and eagerness. I got to my homeroom where I saw new kids that were clean-cut and normal. I sat at…

In 1954, the United States Supreme Court saw that segregated schools were unconstitutional and decided to remove those policies. The actions to join both white and black children into one school left many upset about the ruling. During this troubling time, R.V. Cassil wrote The First Day of School to illustrate the struggles of an African American family joining Joseph P. Gilmore High, a previously all white school. Throughout the story, R.V. Cassill progresses John’s personality, feelings,…

not easy finding a place to belong. I remember my first day in middle school, I had no idea how others will perceive me, how others will treat me, and how others will approach me. In the first few days in middle school, I was all alone. My friends either went to different schools, or they had different classes, so I had a choice between making new friends or secluding myself. I know that I will be a “loner” for the first few days or weeks of school, and I know I would have mixed emotions about…

bald?” Today was the first day back from winter break in the fifth grade I stood in line waiting for class to begin. I was nervous and excited because I decided to wear the hijab for the first time to school. That morning before school started I must have changed my outfit about a dozen times everything needed to look perfect. I wore a fuchsia colored blouse with flowers long black skirt and ballerina slippers I was dressed to impress. Today was the day i show everyone at school the new me. I…

Steve another policeman that was best friends with my dad would drop me off at school and my mom would pick me up. That was great except who was there to protect me in school. I was still being bullied on a regular bases and my mom was in school all the time fighting for me. We even pressed charges on some of the kids so they would take bullying seriously. So we thought! One day Mr. Stevenson was out due to the passing of his mother. Chris one of the kids in my class who was there .Chris was…

Sally begins her first day of freshman year at a new school. It was her first year going into high school and she had no idea what to expect. Sally was so intimidated by all the students that attended the school and how large it actually was. Each of her classes were packed with students, at least 20 in each class. After the bell rang, that’s when the chaos began. Every student would practically run out of their class to the next, hundreds of students in the halls, frantically looking for their…

It was my first day in middle school. School already started 1 weeks ago and I was a new kid. I was nervous for my first day at the new school, but I was thrilled and excited as well. I was not that social and was scared to talk to other people. I was also afraid that people won’t like me because I had a weird accent. The day was going nicely and it was lunch when it all happened. I knew no one so I was sitting alone at a table. The table was huge and had more than enough room for five people…

When I was in the 5th grade, I thought middle school was going to be an extremely terrifying experience and that I would constantly get lost in the building. That statement is true, but with different circumstances. On the first day of 6th grade, I walked to the opposite side of the school to the 8th grade area, and I couldn’t remember where my classes were for the first week of school. Middle school was still nerve-wracking though, because it is that awkward in-between time in your life when…

elementary school, middle school, and part of high school I had always been the kid that was so quiet. Certainly, I was comfortable around my family but being around strangers made me nervous and scared. Throughout my school years, not including high school, I probably only made three friends. As I grew older things started to change and it was not until I landed my first job that I began to be social. Even though I was a shy person throughout most of my life and I had no work experience, my…
