My First Day Of School

Decent Essays

I remember the last day of summer vacation leading up to my first day of school this year. I was very nervous. The high school was new to me and seemed massive compared to the small middle school I went to the year before. I was scared of getting lost and being late to all of my classes on the first day. The night before I packed my backpack and got all my supplies ready to go for the next morning. I planned out my outfit and tried to go to sleep early. But, I couldn’t fall asleep.

“A lot of fun, I wish it lasted longer,” I said.
After the short bus ride I got off the bus. I looked at my schedule and went to the west cafeteria for homeroom. Mia ended up being in my homeroom, so I sat down next to her. After spending an hour in homeroom, I went to my first period, gym. I met some new people in my gym class, but we mostly sat and listened to the teacher talk about the syllabus.
