I was excited yet nervous for my first day of grade 7 at a new high school. As I entered through the large, bulky doors, I was overwhelmed by the deafening noise and large crowds of students gathered in friendship groups. Our teachers oriented us on the rules and had us introduce ourselves, rather than discussing lessons, on the first day to help with the transition to the new, unfamiliar school environment.

I was so excited yet so terrified at the thought of my
first day as a grade 7 student in Basey National High School. It felt much to me like my first day as an adult, the first day I ever felt grown up. As I packed my spanking new bag full of spanking new pens and pencils. As I enter in our school, I ask myself if were some of these strangers going to become my new friends. I pulled up at the entrance. It looked so big compared to my old school. How was I ever going to learn my way around? As I pushed open the bulky doors and suddenly a wave of deafening noise came gushing into my ears. Mobs upon mobs of children were all over the place. Everyone was in their friendship groups from a different grade level. There was the unfamiliar whiff of a new place in the atmosphere. Moreover, on our first day, our different subject teachers didn’t discuss a lesson but they orient us on the rules and we introduced ourselves.
