Back To School : Senior High School Student

Three years ago I went to Don Bosco Pondok Indah Senior High School. It was hard to tell you
the way I felt about my first day of high school, but if I tell how it all and how it went, then maybe you
will understand.
I woke up that morning feeling afraid, panicked, and sad because it way the day I began my
journey as a senior high school student. first of all, I want to tell you why I felt afraid and panicked. So,
I went to the same school when I was in junior high school. To be honest, I don't want to continue
studying at Don Bosco, because all of my close friends were moved to another school. I want to moved
to public school, but I can't, because my score was not enough to enter the public school. actually, it
was enough for the social major, but I wanted to take the science major. All things were very strange to
me, including none of my closed friend were here. Who am i supposed to talk? Thousands of though its
rushed through my mind. Will I fit in? Will I make friends? Will I have nice teachers? Will I bullied?
That’s when I panicked but my mom assured me I would fine if I followed school rules and did what
was asked. The school gave information about what we had to do for the first week. So, in the first week
we had MPLS, it was like an activity about introduction, and we had a test (psycology, math, science,
and english), the purpose of this test was for choosing the majors. Last but no least, they told us to wear
our own junior high uniform, we can able use our Senior High uniform in the next week, when we
already know which major we had.
So of I went in my uniform and smile hoping for best outcome possible. My bag weighed me
down but, I stood up tall and proud. We met at the school hall with welcoming smiles. Its take 2 hours
for introduction. I met a lot of good person in here, we started to making a line group, and we started to
knowing each other. And the bell rang, its time to go home. My mom asked how was my first day and
i said great, the first day at school, just great not as bad as i thought.
The next day i did the test and we had to wait 15 minutes until the result done, I sat in the class
room feeling afraid about the result. I could fell the tension the air then I knew I was not the only one
feeling this way. And then here i go, im in. I will study science major for the next three years. Feeling
happy and proud to my self. We then had a tour of the school and were shone everything would be. I
just hoped I could remember it all when I needed to. Then we headed off to our class to meet our fellow
class mates. I was happy with my class as not one kid in my class was mean or nasty to one or another.
As the lunch bell rang chaos arose kids running and screaming ever where dashing to tuck shop
hoping not to get caught in the line-up of course. I went and sat down with my friends from last year
we chatted about this school and what their first lesson of high school was like. Before we knew it, we
were back in class. We got to know our teachers a bit more, my prayers had been answers we had the
best teachers of all. The teachers weren't strict nor grumpy or mean. They were friendly and nice how
all teachers should be.
Before I knew this first week was over. I don't know why I panicked or was scared at all. High
school may seem scary but I can hadle it. My first week of high school taught me, I shouldn't be so
quick judge about something, I haven't even tried. As high school was not lame, scary or bad as thought
it would be but, I love high school now it’s the best thing of all. I hope your first day, first week, or first
month will be one of your best days of your life too.
