My First Day High School “Beeb! Beeb!”, my alarm rang in the morning. Today was my first day of my freshman year at Toms River High School North and I was not excited. I know that on the first day of school everyone is very happy to be able to see all of their friends again and have a new experience in a new place but not me.
