Valley Elementary School,
It was my
first day at Valley Elementary School, just a five minute walk from my
doorsteps to the doorsteps of a new place I had not yet become familiar
with. It was a cloudy day; however it was obvious the sun was trying to
break through. Little did I know that this new
and interesting day would take me to an exciting and sometimes scary
world. As I approached the school the other kids, some bigger then
myself, spread out over the school yard and appearing to spread out
over the horizon. What is this place, and where are my parents?
Although I have seen the building before I never quite knew what is was
all about and what would happen when I walked through the large
metallic doors. Wearing my new backpack tightly and clutching my lunch
bag firmly in one hand, I had nothing to do but wait. A shrill ringing
sound would come, and then I knew it would be time. As I stood in the
middle of the playground another kid at least twice my size brushed by
me. She twitched the right side of her mouth in what appeared to be a
smile, not sure whether or not she should say hello, and continued on
her way. Her emotion towards me was how I was feeling at the time.
Confused. Although the day only seemed to last
an hour at most, it felt like I had Gone to a foreign land and back.
When I got home, so excited, I tried telling mom everything in one
breath. She just smiled and said," sometimes the first day can be a bit
scary." I looked up at her and shook my head. "No mom." I replied."I
think I'm really going to like it there, and I made a new friend!" This
was the day my life took an interesting turn, for the better.
