Well, these days it is quite common for people to move from one place to another. But here I would like to talk about this specific time when I moved to a new place and changed my school. It happened 15 years ago. As I grew up in a countryside. That’s why facilities there was not much developed there. And there was only one primary school where we, where children from all the town used to study. And uh, that’s why of the blue, my parents decided to relocate to this Ludiana city. To be honest, it was not a piece of cake for me to move to this new place. However, because I was reluctant to leave my birthplace and my house. Uh, then my grandmother explained me the benefits of moving to this new place. Then I agreed. To be honest, it was very hard for us to move to a new environment. But as time passed by, we become used to live in a city. I got admission in my cousin school which had many facilities like uh, big classrooms, playground, cafeteria and uh, computer lab and library. In fact, uh, on the first day of my school, I was really excited and a little bit nervous. But I was excited because it had a big building than my primary school. But um, as on my first day, uh, when I entered the school, I didn’t know my class. That’s why I took the help of PN. When I enter the class, I was really shy. Then I sit next to a new students who also joined the class same day. We talked a lot and played together. In fact, we also had a dinner and uh, lunch together. And as time passed by, we become good friends. But the first day of my school was really memorable. I was amazed by the facilities of school, which I didn’t had in my primary school.

Well, these days it's quite common for people to move from one place to another. But I'd like to talk about a specific time when I moved to a new place and changed schools. It happened about 15 years ago. I grew up in a rural area, and the facilities there weren't very developed. There was only one primary school, where all the children from the town studied. Then, out of the blue, my parents decided to relocate to the city of Ludhiana. To be honest, it wasn't easy for me to move to this new place. I was reluctant to leave my birthplace and my home. My grandmother explained the benefits of moving to the city, and eventually, I agreed. It was challenging to adjust to a new environment, but as time passed, we became accustomed to city life. I got admission to my cousin's school, which had many facilities like large classrooms, a playground, a cafeteria, a computer lab, and a library. On my first day of school, I was excited and a little nervous. I was excited because the building was much bigger than my primary school. However, when I entered the school, I didn't know my classroom. I asked a teacher for help. When I entered the classroom, I was really shy. I sat next to a new student who had also joined the class that day. We talked a lot and played together. We even had lunch and dinner together. As time passed, we became good friends. The first day of my new school was truly memorable. I was amazed by the facilities, which I hadn't had in my primary school.
