First Day of High School
My First Day of High School
The beeping of my alarm clock sounded like a countdown. The first day of high school was only two hours away. I was excited, but a lot more nervous. I got out of bed, got ready, and then was on my way to the bus stop. All I could think of are the stories I heard about high school being so horrible with all the strict teachers, the really hard tests, and of course being a freshman doesn’t help either. The bus ride to the school was only ten minutes, but it seemed a lot longer. When we finally got there, I was more nervous than ever. The day ahead of me was about to get a lot more complicated though with all the work, finding a seat at lunch, and getting lost.

After already being late to my first period and all of the not-so-bad classes afterwards, it was lunch time. I dropped off some books at the locker I shared with my boyfriend, and walked down with him. We were a little late when we got there so we ended up sitting somewhere we didn’t want to because the tables were already filled up. We went up to get our lunch and came back to find our seats were taken. We soon found out getting up meant risking your seat. The whole lunch period everyone was talking about how their day went so far. Most of them were complaining, including me. Then the bell rang and it was time to go to the next period. I really didn’t want lunch to end. But on the other hand, at least there were only about two hours left of the day.

Finally, it was the end of the day. Finding my next class was easier. I still wasn’t in time, but neither were the other kids. When my 6th period ended, it was a huge relief. I thought the day was finally over. But I still had to get on the bus again to go home; therefore it still wasn’t completely over. I went to our locker, grabbed my take-home textbooks and checked to make sure I didn’t lock the combination in there again. I forgot which way to go, so I followed around my boyfriend. When I got outside, all the buses were in

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    It was two in the morning. I got out of bed, running on three hours of sleep. I ran downstairs after getting ready for a long bus ride. I saw my mom and grandpa waiting downstairs, as my grandpa was going on the trip with me. When at the school, teachers checked our bags, kind of like the airport. After this check, we were off (well, about an hour later). Now it was off on our new home for the next 12 hours. For the first three hours, everyone slept. It was boring and I will skip that. We then pulled over for our breakfast stop. When we stopped, the teachers passed out our boxes of bagels. We proceeded to get back on the road next, which was a rather long time. About four hours of driving through Ohio farms and Pennsylvania hills,…

    It had been a crazy morning as I ran all over my house trying to find my jacket and boots. My mom had been admitted into the hospital that morning for a massive headache and all I could think about was whether or not she would be okay. I took her to the emergency room that day before so going to class was the last thing on my mind. My father and sister had agreed to stay with her till I ended class so I was more at ease knowing she wouldn’t be alone. After running all over my house looking for my things I quickly gathered myself to make my train. I finally got to Penn Station with four minutes to spare. I quickly walked to where the rest of my class was as we waited for instructions to where we would…

    Ring, spring break has finally started. Teenagers running down the halls of Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington DC, ready to have a relaxing one-week break before exams start. I walked out of the school to my bus; ready to be taken away to home sweet home. My family is staying in DC this week to meet old family members. I walked onto my bus and discovered that there was nowhere to sit by myself. I found a seat in the back next to a girl that was in my grade. I sat down and fell asleep immediately. A little bit later, my friend woke me up. I scrambled out of my seat and walked home. When I got home, I went upstairs directly to my room and flopped onto the bed. I woke up the next day to the sound of birds chirping outside my house. I checked the weather and wanted to take a stroll at the Lincoln Memorial…

    When I step out of the car, I start to feel all kinds of emotions. I was happy that I had finally made it to the infamous “middle school”. I was happy that I had made it to what I thought would be the best years of my life(little did I know they would be some of the worst). I was angry that I had to go to school after a long fun summer. I was also a little worried. Not about the kids or the teachers, but rather that I would fail miserably. Opening my locker was probably the most stressful thing I endured that day. I felt as if I was a safe cracker, trying to crack an uncrackable safe. Somehow, I managed to get it open. Next thing I know teachers and administration were herding all of us 6th graders to the gym. I couldn’t wrap my head around the amount of kids, it seemed to be a never ending mob of 11 year olds.…

    Have you ever experience a moment where you have no idea where you are, and what you would have done in that particular moment? Well I have, and here is my story. It all started in late August of 2009, when millions of children across the country were looking forward to their first day of school.

    The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, I put on a big huge smile on a my face as the teacher calls us to go outside for the end of the year school party. "I'm so excited!!" I whisper to my friend Aviva as the teacher calls tables. Another side of me is a nervous wreck, because I thought I wasn't going to make it to middle school, the main reason is that I'm terrible at every subject and I'm going to get an F on every test in the whole 6th grade, I think, as the teacher dismisses the table and I slowly walk toward the outside of the classroom."Boo!" Aviva exclaims. "Whoa! You scared me there, are you out of your mind?!" I joke. As we both head to the classrooms to get some snacks and treats, I turn and look at everyone, one last time before I never see them that way again. I smile as I step inside.…

    I was not having that as a comforter, because I was set that high school was going to be the single worst thing to have ever happened to me. I may or may not have taken influence from TV, Movies, etc. but the fear was there and it was real. As it came to the week before the first day, me and my Mom went to the store and loaded up on school supplies, new shoes, clothes and a new hoodie. All of that was pretty darn awesome, I must admit, and at that point, I had calmed down at that point, but that does not mean I wasn’t scared out of my skin. I had trouble sleeping those days before that, and it only got worse, and all I really could do to try and remedy it was try my best to get back to sleep, but usually to no avail. When the time eventually dawned that I had to step outside the warm comforting arms of my home, lock my door tight, and stroll down to the bus stop, I may have seemed calm, collected and generally okay, I was ripping myself apart in shear terror, trying to reason with myself to ditch, run away and don’t face your fear, but with the help of my friend, i muscled through it and took my first steps on campus. Studying every detail, the brick wall with the name plastered on, the steel polls, keeping up a tent like structure, the vast lakes of…

    Being glum was never the best way to start my day. Like always, my mother yelled for me to get in the car as my shoulders were drawn down as I slouched, and I was staring at the floor as I headed down the stairs. While I was getting in the car, I tried my hardest to hold in my emotions. I blinked a few times and pondered of happy thoughts, hoping I would find it beneficial. I arrive at school, once again in a timely fashion, but instead of doing work, today we were going to be having a more social day. This is when we would all play games, go to the fields, and socialize. These days were amazing, because it was the only time we were free and had the best time of the school year. Time flew by so quickly that it hadn’t been until one of the administrators blew their whistles, indicating for us to head back to the cars, and students picking up their things, that I realized the day was over and I had to say goodbye. I was a wreck. My eyes just flooded up with tears, my hair was frizzy, and I just wanted to stay put and never move. My friends questioned me if I was okay, and that's when I nervously and gloomily told them the news. It was extremely difficult telling them. I gulped so many times just to get some words out and they would just not make their way out of my mouth. Right after I told them, we started hugging, which lasted for a long time until another one of the…

    It was a chilly August morning. Filled with excitement and wonder, I woke up from my slumber and got ready for school. Today was my first day of Sophomore year. I was no stranger to the curriculum, and I was familiar with most of my teachers. I already had a set friend group, surely, no problems would arise. I did my usual morning routine and got into my car. Driving along Main Street, my mom talked about how much I needed. She said I needed to improve this year, to try and do better than last year. We arrived to the front of the school, and I said my goodbyes. Walking into the school, I was greeted by numerous teachers as well as my classmates, I sat down in the main dining hall and waited for my first class to start.…

    It was a week into my senior year in Ganesha High School. Walking into my third period AVID class, right after our 10 minute nutrition break, everybody, rowdy and noisy, talked about what they had done that weekend or what they had seen at break. As usual I walked towards my seat and as usual it was a task. My school bag was hanging on my side and I had my breakfast box that was filled with a milk carton, an apple, and a packaged bread in my hand; I walked and tried not to trip over the carelessly left bags on the isle. People stood up even after the bell had rung and the noise level was still high. I finally got to my seat; first row, first seat, right next to the teacher’s desk in which he had his computer. I put my bag down on the floor and put my breakfast box on top of my desk. The teacher, Mr. Mariles, came in and everybody took their seat, the noise level lowered distinctively. I turned over to face my friend who was sitting behind me. I whispered to her “Do you know what we’re doing in class today?” she whispered back “I think we are working on our personal statement.” I turned to face the front of the class, with a disgusted expression on my face. The teacher then started to explain what we were going to do that day. He had a smile in his face and was making hand movements all over the…

    From Holly Springs to Apex we moved in a rush and as soon as possible. I kept to myself mostly not wanting anything to do with leaving the house or talking to anyone but occasionally my family. The first day of middle school is one I’ll remember for a long time. All my friends from elementary school were all going to a different middle school then I was so on the first day I knew absolutely no one. Because we moved so late in the summer I was considered a late transfer student, so on the first day of school they still hadn’t made my schedule yet. I was stuck in the office fighting back tears for all of my first 3 periods waiting for them to finally finish my schedule. Because I was late to my classes on the first day I had to wait to set up…
