So this is it – senior high school at last! I’m not outgoing so I’m a little anxious right now. I want to make a good first impression. Will I make any friends? What if no one talks to me?
I just had my first maths class at senior high school! The class was difficult, but the teacher was kind and friendly. He even told us a funny story, and everyone laughed so much! l found most of my classmates and teachers friendly and helpful.
This afternoon, we had our chemistry class in the science lab. The lab is new and the lesson was great, but the guy next to me tried to talk to me the whole time. I couldn’t concentrate on the experiment. I really wanted to tell him to please be quiet and leave me alone!
What a day! This morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But l was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all. l miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here, and there’s a lot to explore at senior high. I feel much more confident than I felt this morning. I think that tomorrow will be a great day!

My first day of school
On my first day of senior high school, I wasn’t that anxious because nearly all of my old classmates were there, too. However, I was a little stressed because the lessons were more difficult than before and I had to try my best to keep up with the other students. My favorite class was chemistry, because the teacher made it really interesting and we did many experiments. I was happy because our teachers treated us like adults and all the classes, though more difficult, were more interesting.
Thank You!
