My first day in school
Remembering the first day of school brings back fond memories. I was extremely nervous about attending secondary school, as I did not know anybody in school. It was slightly intimidating when I first saw the size of the school. I was extremely nervous as I didn’t know where to go. I followed some of my senior school-mates up to the third floor, where I first saw the hall. I decided to walk in, inside the hall, I saws some of my primary schoolmates and walked towards them, they were chatting about the things they did during the holidays. I decided to join in and we chatted for awhile before breaking up to look for our classes. To my pleasant surprise, I saw Wenhao sitting behind the ‘1e4’ cone, I went and sat next to him, we continued chatting until it was time to stop. Someone named Mr Koh introduced himself to us. My first impression of him was that he wasn’t a person that could be pushed around easily. He had a short fuse. When some older students didn’t listen to his “simple” demands, he would shout at them to make sure they did it properly. I thought he was one of those perfectionists.
The assembly started and Ms Chamb got started on her long speech. I thought that the speech would never end. I nearly died of stiffness from sitting still for so long. Thankfully, the speech ended. We were herded back to our classes. A teacher named Ms Heng walked in and introduced herself to us, she told us to expect big changes when we were in secondary school, she warned us that secondary school would not be as easy as in primary school where we could play around and still pass. Ms Heng told to adapt quickly or we wouldn’t be able to cope with the workload.
I was sitting next to a girl named Hui Mian, she was a powerful speaker, I thought that I would be in for a ride of my life if I had to sit next to her for the rest of the year. Seated behind was a boy named Shao Wen and a girl named Cassandra, Shao Wen was an extremely gullible person, he actually believed my name was Kelvin, I hope he isn’t that gullible now. Cassandra was a quiet girl who kept to herself most of the time.
When the bell for recess rang, we went up to the canteen with the councilors leading us up. After recess, we were brought to the hall for the mass dance. I felt stupid dancing, but the councilors kept encouraging. At the end of everything, we were hot and sweaty, but best of all, I think most of us had fun. After that, we went back to class and got ready to leave.
I said my good-byes to a few of my new friends and , left looking forward to the next day of school
