 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Being a transferee is never easy. At first, I was hesitant to come but my
mother told me that I would find new friends in Masayahin Senior High
School. I would never forget the day I first entered this school, I felt so shy
and nervous. I did not know anyone for I was a new Grade 11 student.
When I entered my first class looking for a chair to sit in, a boy sitting
beside the window sill asked me, "Are you new in this school?" and I
answered shyly, "Yes." Then, he offered me the vacant seat beside him.
He was Jasper, an old student in that school We got along with each other
well in our class. We worked on our assignments and school projects., he
slept in our house doing our research work. After a year, we both realized
that in many ways we had a lot of similarities in terms of interests in life.
In the end, we became best of friends.
