Saying hello

First day of school. As a new student in a new secondary school. Secondary one to me was like a completely new environment. New teachers, new facilities, not to mention new friends. I felt great, and a bit nauseous, feeling like I was having stomachaches at times. All in all, I was nervous. As if to make matters worse, I was completely alone. Only a few of my friends had followed me to this new school of mine. After I was posted to my class, it was with a hint of dismal that I found out none of them were in my class.Looking on the bright side, I could make more new friends!






First day of school was mainly a tour of the school campus. The library, hall, canteen, last but not least, our classrooms. In our classrooms, our form teacher discussed about school rules, class rules...... Got quite boring, up to the point when he asked us to introduce ourselves. I listened intently, hoping to hear what were my classmates reasons for coming to this school and also what their hobbies were. Soon, it was my turn. My stomach was churning, I stood up wobbly and " confidently" stated where I came from, what I like to do in my spare time and my reason for choosing this school. Soon, it was over. I never really enjoyed lectures, so this made my teacher's talk seem like ages had passed before he finally came to a halt. After a "gruelling" first day, it had finally ended. Even so, this was the first of many to come.
