After completing my 10th standard examination, I decided to admit in a new school for my further education. I enrolled my name in one of the well-known schools which is located in the centre of our city. I still remember the first day when I entered the classroom, everyone around me passed a weird smile. It made me uncomfortable. My class teacher introduced me to other students and provided me a seat on my bench. I also remember that nobody would come to talk to me. I really feel very alone and wondering why I changed my school because when I remember the old days, I really feel very bad. But I think in few weeks when everyone got familiar with me, we also started to chat with one another. I was able to make new bonds with my other classmates. Although this experience leads to positive aspects as well as a few of the consequences, the positive is that I explore a new environment and the consequences is that I still remember my old friends because we had very great memories. I spent almost 10-12 years with them. Overall, this is a good experience for me because it’s a necessity to adapt changes in our life. I think this was the experience when I changed my school and overall it was good. Thank you.

After completing my 10th standard examination, I decided to enroll in a new school for my further education. I registered at one of the well-known schools located in the center of our city. I still remember the first day when I entered the classroom; everyone around me gave a strange smile. It made me uncomfortable. My class teacher introduced me to the other students and provided me a seat on my bench. I also remember that nobody came to talk to me. I felt very alone and wondered why I changed my school because when I think of the old days, I feel very bad. However, after a few weeks, when everyone became familiar with me, we started to chat with one another. I was able to form new bonds with my classmates. Although this experience had positive aspects as well as a few consequences, the positive side is that I explored a new environment, while the consequence is that I still remember my old friends because we had great memories. I spent almost 10 to 12 years with them. Overall, this was a good experience for me because it's necessary to adapt to changes in our lives. I think this was the experience when I changed my school, and overall it was good. Thank you.
