My first day of school... this topic brings back a few memories. I visited my school before starting, but I can't really remember all the details of that day. Let me give you some context. I have an older sister who is older than me. I learned a lot from her. I learned the alphabet by heart and could count up to a thousand. My parents told me that people who knew all these things would get a special gift on their first day of school. That's why I was so excited to start school. It was about 14 years ago, in 2010. We started school on September 1st, when all the educational facilities opened. My parents and I went shopping for clothes and bought everything I needed for school. The school was located just a short distance from my home. I went there with my dad, and on the way, we saw a lot of other kids wearing different uniforms. I felt a bit out of place. When we arrived, my dad introduced me to my first teacher. She was a kind, older woman with gray hair. Before we went to our classrooms, we all gathered in the middle of the schoolyard. The principal gave us a short speech, and then they started handing out special gifts. I thought this was the gift I had been waiting for for almost a year! I waited patiently for my turn, and when I finally got my backpack, I opened it. It had all the stationery and course books I needed. I was so happy to have my own backpack and books. It was a good day, a really great day.
