My
mother accompanied me to school on the first day. Other parents accompanied
their children as well. We all waited in front of the school office.
Soon
a teacher came and led us to some classrooms. There we were put into four
separate classes. This was when some children began to cry as the parents
were not allowed into the classrooms. I did not cry because I had been to
kindergarten before. Actually my mother went home soon after for she knew I
would be all right.
It
was an enjoyable time for me as I got to know my new classmates. The teacher
was very busy writing down our particulars so we had plenty of time to
ourselves.
Meantime
some children continued to sob while their parents looked in anxiously
through the windows.
Soon
recess came. Some of us headed for the tuck-shop while the rest headed for
their parents. I bought a drink with the money my mother gave me. Getting to
know my new friends had made me thirsty.
After
recess we went back to out classroom and my new friends and I managed to coax
two boys to stop crying. In fact, soon we were laughing and playing together.
Once in a while the teacher had to tell us to keep quiet as we were making
too much noise.
Still
some parents looked in anxiously through the windows.
Finally
the bell rang for us to go home. Some of us were very relieved to be reunited
with our parents. I too was glad to see my mother waiting for me at the
school gate. I had made many friends. It had been a wonderful first day at
school.
