Hello! Here I have chosen to write a composition on my experience on my first day in my new school. I have only heard others like my friends narrate their experiences. When my friends Mr. D and Mr. G came to our school, I could have only imagined how it have felt for them. But that day, I experienced it for myself.
It was the first day of a New Academic Year in St. Shantal’s School. During my onam vacation, my parents got a transfer, so we had to move to from Kolkata to this new school in Kerala. It was entirely different from my previous school. I was a little nervous. I was placed in Class VIII B of that school, so I went their. Soon new faces welcomed me. Many introduced themselves to me but I already knew them and they knew me because we had met during online classes. When I moved to this school during the end of the last academic year, all classes were conducted online due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. So in a way I was meeting people for the first time but I already knew them.
When I met my online friends in my offline class, they made me feel comfortable and all my nervousness went away. I was making new and new friends when our Class Teacher came. She looked calm and wise. First, she welcomed all of us to the new year and then she proceeded to ask all our names and from where we came. When my chance arrived, she asked me how I liked my new school. I said I loved it as the previous school was very strict. After that, she proceeded with the other children. Due to this being the first day there were no classes and teachers were coming and asking about ourselves. It was a fun, amazing and wonderful day for me. I wished I will never leave this school. That was my experience on my first day to a new school which I still remembers vividly, and hopes to go back and enjoy that moment again and again and at the end of the day, I felt happy.
