It's like a new chapter in children's lives because they start making friends and adapting to a new environment. And this topic brought me back to those sweet moments of my childhood. I started attending classes when I was seven years old. Now, if I were to describe my first day at school, I'm afraid that I can't go into details as I can't remember that day vividly.

On the other hand, I was a bit afraid inside, like, what if I couldn't get along well with my new friends? And I was anxious about new changes. Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly. I got some books and stationery. Even though I couldn't strike up a conversation with my classmates on that day, I started to adapt to my friends day by day. Then I started to attend classes.
