The First Day At School

                School is our second home. I often remember with a smile my first days at school.  Those memories take me back into my childhood. In the time, when I was always happy and could hug my Mom. The best memories and the best time ever.  My childhood had many memories. Some were happy, sad, some were even frightening, but this memory has stuck out in my mind as the most crucial, and memorable time in my life.
          My first school day... It was September first, outside was cold and rainy. My Mom was holding me by the hand while we were walking to the school. I was carrying a very heavy bouquet consist of red tulips for my first teacher. I was so excited and nervous and scared at the same time. From my house to school was only fifteen minutes to walk, then it felt like a huge distance. We arrived to school ten minutes early and I went to meet my classmates before we had a meeting at the school yard. Everybody looked so neat and beautiful. All girls used a white bows for their hair. I dressed up, too. I was wearing the plaid skirt and red jacket. My school backpack weighed more than me. After the principal's speech we went to the class room. That's when the real adventure began. I still don't know how it happened, but I was lost and could not find my teacher and classmates. I was sitting down in the hallway and crying so hard. After twenty minutes my teacher found me and we went to our classroom. I stopped crying and felt comfort in my class. My desk was near the window and looked clean and shiny. We just had one lesson for the  first day and after 45 minutes, when the bell was ringing , we went back home.


  It was a short story, but it is everything that I remember from those days. I liked my first teacher and I am still  friends with my classmates.  School gave me a lot of knowledge and helped me to prepare for a grown-up life. I will always remember my school and that happy day. I don't remember the details from my first day at school, but I still remember my feelings. I had a puzzle of feelings:  fear,  shyness, delight, sadness and happiness. All these ''friends'' lived in my head in the same moment and made my heart beat faster.  
Lol, old picture of me))))))
