Hello, everybody. I'm going to talk about my first day at school. I went to school in 2006, when I was seven years old. It was the first day of September. I felt excited and nervous at the same time because it was my first day at school, and I didn't know anyone there. I couldn't sleep the night before. I woke up with butterflies in my stomach. My school was located in Balaki. It wasn't far from my house. School started at 9:00 a.m. I left my home at 9:00 a.m. When I arrived, I couldn't talk to any friends that day. But I started talking to my friends day by day as school went on. It was difficult for me to get up early in the morning. Honestly, it was hard for me to get out of my comfort zone.
