Generally in our lives we always go through various changes, be it in childhood, uh, inage areas or adulthad. And I believe that one biggest changes in our lives is, uh, starting schooling in the childhood. It’s like any chapter in children’s lives because they start making friends and adapting to the new environment. And uh, this topic card brought me back to the sweet moments of my childhood. I started attending school when I was seven years old. Holding my mother’s hands, we walked together to the school gate. And the school was a massive building with a beautiful playground. And um, as I entered the school gate, I saw many children playing around, running and laughing. And I felt at the time, I felt a mixed emotion. I was excited about the opportunities to learn new things and meet new people. But at the same time, I was, uh, a bit deep, afraid, deep inside. Uh, what if I can’t get along with my new friends? And I was anxious about new change. Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly. I get some books and stationery even though I couldn’t strak up as frenhip with my classmates on that day. I started, uh, to adapt to my friends’s die by day. And, uh, then I started to attend classes. Our classes used it to be held in the morning. Um, at the beginning, it was a bit challenging for me to get up early because I wasn’t used to, uh, getting up early in the morning. Uh, honestly, I had to get out of my comfort zone. And however, the more I socialize with my friends, the more, uh, I comfortable I become, um, and started to like my lessons.

I remember my first day of school vividly. It was when I was seven years old, and I still remember holding my mother's hand as we walked to the school gate. The school was a grand building with a huge playground, and as we entered, I saw children playing, running, and laughing. I felt a mix of emotions – excitement about learning new things and meeting new people, but also a bit of fear and anxiety about the change. I wondered if I would make friends and if I could handle the new environment. Thankfully, everything went well. I received my books and stationery, and although I didn't make any close friends that day, I started to adapt to the school routine. Our classes were held in the morning, and it was a challenge for me to get up early at first. I wasn't used to it, and I had to step out of my comfort zone. However, as I spent more time with my classmates, I became more comfortable and started to enjoy my lessons. It was a significant turning point in my life, and I'll always remember the feeling of starting a new chapter.
