The first day

The first day

Keywords:

I was laying in my bed, not quite ready to get up yet. Not wanting to get up. It was September 4th, 7:00 am and the first day of grade 6 was starting in 2 hours. But I wasn’t in my sender school. I was in the gifted program at a new school. I thought about how much I missed my friends at my old school and how nervous I was. Would the gifted program be a million times harder? Would we have homework every single day?? Would I know anyone??? I was already dreading school, and it hasn’t even started yet.

When I arrived at the new school, I realized it wouldn’t be much different from my old school. I met lots of people in my class who were also new and I felt a bit more at ease.  There weren’t many differences, and I wasn’t nervous anymore. To this day, I’m still in the gifted program and I’m happy with my class.
