My First Day of School

I was afraid when I was walking into my first school in America. I has traveled a long way from India in order to join my parents. They hoped America would help my future.

On the first day, with fear, I reached for the door. Opening it slowly. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them. I went to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel better Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door in India we had assigned(指定) seats. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the PPT. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.

Since it was my first day, I had no idea about which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. I wasn’t quite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside happily, I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.

As time passed that year, I developed some friendships and started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old could do them. In India the teachers had a more strict way of saying things. We also had much longer school days in India-7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.-while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is that 1 learned a lot each day. Because of these I feel I am the luckiest person in the whole world.
