the struggles of starting a new school
The Struggles of Starting a New School in Georgia
Emily Calice 1/11/14

School Gets Cancelled
As I was getting ready on a freezing cold Monday, My aunt picks up the phone and she found out that school gets canceled on Tuesday. I let out a big sigh of relief I was really nervous going to school thinking that I might not make friends or people would judge me. But also I am excited that I get to explore the school and get to know my teachers.

The Long Wait
On Wednesday me, my brother, my aunt, and my mother went to my brothers school Collins Hill High School. We were trying to register him but the Clerk said we had to go to The Student New Comers Center so he can take the ESOL test. The ESOL test stands for English Speakers of Other Languages. Me and brother both had to make sure if we had to take the test. So when we got there we gave all the papers to the clerk after a long wait Marcus had to take the test but not me because I didn’t need to. But the worst of being there is the long 3 hour wait. I was starving, bored, and tired; the room was so cold I felt like a Popsicle I couldn’t wait till I got out of there. Once I did we drove to Hibachi Buffet and we ate appetizing meal.
Getting Enrolled In School
I wake up on a chilly Thursday, and I’m really nervous to go to school but I try to be composed and gratified so I can get through it smoothly. Once I get to the school and I notice how vast it is I can already see how crowded it would be and it made me even more nervous. When I enter the school and it looked elegant then when I walked into the principal’s office she got all the papers and explained to me about activities, electives, and to put me in classes to help me in subjects. Then I had to skip another day of school for her to be able to put my information in the computer.

The First Day Of School
Once I was getting ready for school officially. I was more confident than I thought. But deep down I felt nervous when my mom and my aunt dropped

    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…

    Today is perhaps one of the most important days of my life. It is the day I take my placement exam that determines which major you will be put into at the higher learning institution. Shakily I finish getting dressed for the day, I am adorned in a pair of navy pants and a grey button up with the number 84 on the cuff. Each year the society gives a number to every child born. I was the 84th child of the year so that is the number I was assigned, many of my other classmates have number ranging from 20 to over 200. I slip out of my room and jog to the end of my hall barely catching the last lift to the 97th floor where the test is administered. Not everyone gets invited to secondary school, for 75% of the world primary is the end, they didn’t pass, and would be taught trade jobs with little opportunity for advancement. Due to this pressure of the test looms over me and the memory of leaving my mother and family take over my mind almost daily.…

    The main reason why I was so nervous is because the school I was coming from was very small and private. I went to Our Lady of Grace from kindergarten to eighth grade. The student body there was around two hundred and fifty at the time. There was only one teacher and class of about thirty students for every grade. There wasn’t a student or teacher that I didn’t know by name and because I had been going there since I was five years old, I really didn’t know any other way.…

    The steam from his drink coated his glasses, and behind the mug I could see a toothless smile and a dark shiny grey beard. He gestured for my dad and I to come in. I stepped my way up into the overcrowded room full of mustard yellow couches. Not only did the place looked run down, and about to fall apart but, the place smelled like the worst mixture of rotten foods you could imagine. My dad and I’s facial expressions to each other said it all about this place. Once we had found our way, we filled out some application forms. During the process, I stood beside my dad, searching to find another girl taking the class. I looked forever only to find that there were no other girls…

    The day started off as any normal day. My mother woke me up and said “we must go.” Her voice sounded very urgent for what I thought was just a trip to the grocery store. My mom laid my outfit on my bed and packed by book bag; that’s when I figured out that I was starting school. I wasn’t entirely oblivious to the fact that I was going to familiarize myself with a completely different environment, but I just thought I had a little more time to prepare. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. You see, I wasn’t your average pre-schooler who was nervous about making friends. I was the immigrant child who had never spoken a word of English.…

    The alarm clock went “ding….ding… ding.” I woke pretending I couldn’t hear it, because I didn’t want to get up. My mom was yelling at my sister and me, “Get up girls it’s time to go school.” I didn’t understand why she was so excited. I miserably dragged myself out of bed; I just wanted to crawl and hide and the blanket. It was a cold day in March 1999, I was fourteen years old, and it was my first day of school in America.…

    Three years ago, I came into a world full of dreams, but these dreams can take you down if you don’t pay good attention. I am the first born in my family. Before I came here, I was so afraid to come to a new country, which I didn’t know any thing about. I was somehow confused, and the biggest fear that I had was about adapting to a new culture. After some days of being at home, I was taken to school where I met so many student, teachers, and other nonteaching staff. Although I didn’t know anyone, all the people I met welcomed me, and I really appreciated the welcome. The school counselor called one of the students and told him to show me my classes. Then the boy took me to my new class, and when I entered, all eyes were on…

As I stroll to 7th period my classmates stared“she was just in 2nd period looking at the wall like a weirdo”, “ Her breath probody stink that's why she not saying anything” two girls conversed about me.
