My First Day of High School

I knew that my first day of high school would be challenging. There would be higher expectations than middle school and the teachers would be stricter. I was nervous that my classmates changed during the summer-making them smarter and look different making me think if I was the only one who hasn’t changed. I missed a lot of my classmates and that helped me forget about all that stuff I was worried about. I was hoping this year would be a good year and I am about to go over my first day in high school. My phone rang on the day before school. It was a robot voicemail saying we delayed school until Tuesday. This was because there was a huge blizzard in the area of the school near my house, school hangout spots it was getting bad outside. My school was also being used as a shelter for those whose houses who were getting damaged. The thick snow was everywhere we had to keep everyone window and door closed because it was getting into the houses and making a big mess. I had a perfect view of the blizzard from my room. I could see everything like I was on the top of the world. However, I was kind of mad with the blizzard, I was also happy at the same time because we had an extra day of our weekend.

On Monday I was preparing for my first day of high school. My backpack was filled with materials I needed such as pencils notebooks and a binder. The school called again and apparently; we have Tuesday off to. We had a four-day weekend it was okay, but I just wanted to get over the first day of school I was starting to get anxiety. I was asking myself when school is going to start. I was just hoping the first day of school would go perfect and even meet some new friends. It was finally the first day of school, officially the first day it felt weird because it wasn’t a Monday. I walked into the school feeling nervous even though I walked through school doors every day in middle school this felt different. Everyone in high school is getting to the real world. Middle school wasn’t like this it was having fun and talking about high school and our teachers experience in high school and we go about that. I thought eighth grade year was the best year ever I wish my eighth-grade class can have a reunion.

As I walked into the school, I saw a lot of people going to the gym, so I went as well, and I saw on the door that that’s were your supposed to get your schedule. I saw my first period and it was math I was kind of upset that I got this class for first period. Doing math first thing in the morning can be frustrating. I walked into the classroom and the teacher said, “sit wherever you’d like.” My math teacher was actually very nice, and I like her from the start. I was surrounded by sophomores, juniors, and seniors I noticed a couple familiar faces. I was excited how school was going to play out and what new friends I was going to meet. The only thing that felt weird was having classes with people that were older than me but if anything, they should be the ones feeling that way because there in a freshmen class, so I didn’t really care as much.

I had to walk up the stairs for my next class it was English. I then walked in and seen a couple of my friends this was just going to be a good day I felt like my friends and I were ready to learn and get the first day over with. My teachers name was MS Popstar and I think she was ready to teach right away like she just wanted to get to the point. It felt like this class was going to be a quite class and that’s kind of good so I can get my work done and manage to finish early and be ahead of the class. I like too to be the kid who’s ahead of everyone and someone who is trying to get out of school and graduate. I was starting to get hungry I realized lunch was after 4th period in middle school we had lunch after 3rd period so it felt different. I had 2 more classes to get through. the bell rang and it was next period realized I was going to be even more hungry and tired because I had gym and I know gym can be a lot of running and exercising. I didn’t know that much people in none of my classes yet and I was starting to get worried that I was in the wrong class. I checked my schedule and I was wrong I was in the right classes just none of my friends were in my classes.

When I finally got to meet my friends at lunch it felt like we were reuniting, and I felt happy and glad I wasn’t here alone. We started to talk about what we did over the summer and how classes were today and if we liked our classes. I thought this day went out well although the first day is always kind of boring and quite because it’s the first day. After lunch I had biology class, I figured the day was closing out and I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. My teacher started to tell us that we have a lot of projects in this class and we had to work with a group of 4. I felt a little worried because I’m anti-social. My friend from middle school walked in and sat next to me then it made me feel a little bit better to know that I know someone in this class. My teacher talked about his personal life his who he was married to where he graduated. He even gave us a little advice about high school. “Stay organized and focused.”

I knew this year was going to be a changed because last year was really a fun year I got distracted a lot talked on the phone here and there while doing my homework so I knew I had to change it up this year and start to realize that I’m growing up to be an adult and I should just start acting like one if I want to get there. I also had a couple of goals I wanted to do this year. Such as be on honors roll, pass all my classes with a b or higher and finally perfect attendance all these were so important because its steps to be a successful person in life. Sixth period was the last period of the day and it felt so good to know that the day it about to be over and I am ready to go home and sleep. I didn’t really catch all my teachers’ names it’s hard to because it’s all new to me. I’m sure they don’t know our names by heart for the first day of school it’s hard for some teachers to learn 20 kids’ names in every period. Clearly, the first day of ninth grade was good. I enjoyed most of my teachers, classmates, and my classes. I was able to see my friends I didn’t see this summer. But it felt good I was now in high school. I felt as If I was already heading towards a successful future. High school can be fun surrounded but a lot of people you don’t know I managed to meet some new friends and new teachers that were so nice and welcoming on the first day.
