My First Day
It was the 31st of January 2011. I was nervous as I was getting dressed for my first day of high school. I had my breakfast and grabbed my lunch and I was anxious to get out of the house. My mum drove me and my sister to school on the first day. Having both my mum and sister there made me feel less nervous because I new that they would be there with me as I walked into the school were I will be spending the next 6 years of my life.
When I arrived, I slowly walked forward as I started looking at all the other kids. Most were in groups and all talking, laughing and smiling. I felt very scared and felt like an outsider, but it was okay because then my cousin Hayley who has been at the Reddam all her life found me and introduced me to all her friends. As she showed me all the classrooms and introduced me to some teachers I warmed up to school and felt a little bit better and more at home.
As soon as the day began I had little time to settle in. We had to quickly go to a room and get ready to complete two tests which would decide what classes we were going to be in for the rest of the year. I was a little nervous but new I would do well because I take school seriously and enjoy learning and doing well. As I sat the first test which was maths, I paced my self with each question and also managed my time well. In the 45 minutes we had to complete the tests I completed the test and felt confident about my answers. We then went to recess.
At recess I tried to talk to a lot of people because I new this was my time to get to know and make some friends. All the girls were nice and welcoming as I wasn’t the only new one. I felt that the people I most connected to some students. The recess bell had rung and we all rushed to out next text making sure we weren’t late.
It was time for the second test and recess time was over so I had to snap out of that mode and get focused. For this test I was a little bit worried because I new that English isn’t my best subject and that last year I struggled a bit. In the English test we had to answer various questions the focused on our comprehension, grammar, spelling and also short story writing skills. I thought the test was going to be very hard but to my surprise it wasn’t that bad. But unfortunately unlike the maths exam I didn’t time manage well and that resulted in me not finishing the short story which would’ve cost me a few marks.
We then had lunch and I bonded with my new friends, everything was going great and I had enjoyed the day. After lunch we didn’t do much and got the time to sit down and relax for abit. It was then the end of school and everybody was getting excited for the swimming carnival which was the next day. I picked up my school bag and found my mum, and we drove of. On the drive home I told her all about my great and exciting first day at Reddam House.
