I think everyone has vivid memories of their school, especially the first day. It's always memorable. My first day at school was very vivid. In my country, there's a tradition where parents accompany their child on their first day. However, my parents couldn't. My sister was a newborn, and my mom had to take care of her while my dad had to go to work. So, I went to school with my neighbor and her daughter. I still remember my mom helping me pack my things and put all my school supplies in my bag. I felt very nervous because when I played on the street with other children, they always told me that school wasn't a good place to go. They said the teachers made students do tasks they didn't want to do. I was with my neighbor's daughter, who was also one of my friends. When I entered the school playground, I was overwhelmed by the new faces and the noise the children were making. I was so nervous and shy that even when other classmates came to me and asked for my name, I didn't tell them. I knew the school was a few blocks away from my home, about a 5-minute walk. So, I returned home alone from school. I insisted to my parents that I didn't want to go to school the next day, but they lied to me and sent me back the following day.
