My First Day at School
On my first day at school, I felt nervous as I walked into my new classroom. I held my mother’s hand tightly and looked around at the colorful charts on the walls. Soon, a friendly girl smiled at me and invited me to sit next to her. We shared our crayons and talked about our favorite cartoons. By the end of the day, I was no longer scared. I learned that new beginnings can turn into happy memories.
