Today I would like to describe about my first day at the elementary school. At first I didn’t even know that I was going to the elementary school. I thought we were just going to a local park or somewhere that we can play. But now my parents obviously tricked me there and lead me to school. I honestly don’t remember a lot. I don’t have a lot of memories when I went to school. But I remember that my teacher lead me into a road that we stood there for the first 30 minutes before we go into class. So being a naive child, I don’t even know what we are doing on that road. And suddenly our national anthem is put on the speaker and everyone saying along with that. Except me and my peers. We were so confused that we just stood there doing nothing. I was a little afraid because I know that I’m not with the crowd on this thing. The next thing is I was lead into the class and then we start greeting each other. And I start making friends. I’m kind of introverse so I don’t have the ability to talk to a lot of friends. However, I managed to find a friend group that I cherish a lot at that day. So when my mom first lead me to the school, I was really afraid of what is going to happen to me. However, it’s all gone as the atmosphere of the school even though it’s partly chaotic. It’s a great sense of calamity for me. And I enjoy every minute of it when I’m at school. It also leave a very vibrant memory for me to this day.

Today I would like to describe my first day at elementary school. At first, I didn't even know that I was going to elementary school. I thought we were just going to a local park or somewhere we could play. But my parents obviously tricked me and led me to school. I honestly don't remember a lot. I don't have many memories from when I went to school. But I remember that my teacher led me to a spot where we stood for the first 30 minutes before we went into class. Being a naive child, I didn't even know what we were doing there. Suddenly, our national anthem was played on the speaker, and everyone sang along except me and my peers. We were so confused that we just stood there doing nothing. I was a little afraid because I knew I wasn't part of the crowd in that moment. Next, I was led into the class, and we started greeting each other. I began making friends. I'm kind of introverted, so I don't have the ability to talk to a lot of people. However, I managed to find a friend group that I cherished a lot that day. When my mom first led me to school, I was really afraid of what was going to happen to me. However, that fear disappeared as I experienced the atmosphere of the school. Even though it was partly chaotic, it felt like a great sense of calm for me. I enjoyed every minute of it while I was at school. It also left a very vibrant memory for me to this day.
