When I woke up on Aug.4, 2016，there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear.A billion thoughts raced through my brain.I didn't want to come off as trying too hard，but I also didn't want to be seen as a lazy and untidy person.Not only was it my first day of high school, but

it was my first day of school in a new state.First impressions are everything and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next four years with.

This was my third time to be a new kid.But this time was different because my dad promised that I would start and finish high school in the same place.This time mattered, and that made me nervous.

After meticulously searching my closet, I proudly came out in a dress.The soft cotton was comfortable, and the ruffled (有褶饰边的) shoulders added a bit of fun.Yes, this outfit was the one.An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward Room 1136.But as I entered, my jaw dropped to the floor.

Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, wearing exactly the same dress as me.I kept my head down and tiptoed (蹑手蹑脚地走) to my seat.I made it through my one­minute self­introductory speech until she stood up, jokingly adding that she liked my style.Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly disappeared, and the students paid attention as I shared my story.My smile grew as I laughed with the students.After class, I stayed behind and talked to Mrs.Hutfilz, relieved  (感到宽慰的) to make a humorous and real connection.

Looking back four years later, I found the ten minutes I spent being afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it.My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs.Hutfilz had an awesome sense of style!
