First Day of High School


Waking up early in the morning wasn't a great way to start off a day, but it wasn't just any day. Today would be my first day of high school. I was finally going to be done with middle school, and its drama for the rest of my life. As I ate breakfast, put my uniform on, and got ready for school my sister kept telling me, "This is weird! We are both in high school now!" It was weird; I am growing up and becoming a high school student.

As I was in the car with my sister, I was asking where is English, and where is Geometry Honors, trying to figure out where each of my classes are. It was going to be a whole new world. I've never really been in the high school buildings besides the foreign language, because it’s the same as middle school. My sister was telling me about the teachers, and how their class is. I was excited to see for myself how I would like it.

When the bell rang for the first class I was happy to see who was in my classes, and how high school is different from middle school. I found a few differences throughout my day. One, is that you start off from where you picked up. One the first day, I had received a spiral, homework, and homework schedule for the cycle. Another difference I found was the freedom. I don't have to have a little pass to go to the nurse, I can leave lunch when I'm done, and I have more time to do work or hang out with my friends. I loved it! Even though it was the first day, I could already tell I would love high school way better than middle school. I couldn't wait to see how the year would turn out!

  2. I love the way you detailed your morning to where I felt like I was with you. I feel the same way about Highschool!

  3. Claudia, I like how you include details of your experience that make it memorable. Think about what sensory details you could add to make it more vivid. It's not that you need to expand every single thing, but think about what happens when you replace words like "breakfast" and "car" with more specific sensory words. These posts all reflect good thinking and writing.
