Well, I'd like to talk about the first day of school that I remember. It was in 2007. I had been waiting the whole summer to start a new chapter. I felt excited and, at the same time, very nervous, as it was my first day at school and I didn't know anyone there. I couldn't sleep the previous night. Also, my school was located in Orange. It wasn't far from my living area. There was only an opening ceremony in the morning at 10:30. I left my home at nine and arrived at school at ten. I still had some time, so I decided to walk around the school to get acquainted with some of the places. By the way, I saw the principal of our school, and she was very friendly. She wished me good luck, and I was pleased. After walking around, I didn't know where to go, I didn't know where the ceremony was held. When I was standing there, not knowing what to do, one person came to me and said she could lead me to the ceremony place. I think it was a staff member. With her help, I could find the hall where the ceremony was organized. I found my seat in the main hall, and there was a girl sitting next to me. I approached her and asked her name. We just became friends. Such kind of positive experiences occurred on that day. So, it was a memorable first day at school that I have experienced.
