Monday 1 September
My first day at senior high was impressive. Before going to school, I woke up so early to get everything ready and was in my great eagerness to embrace my new life at senior high. When arriving at school, there were so many students who took pictures happily with their parents. After the registration, I was guided to the classroom, where I met my form teacher. He welcomed us with a big smile and told us that you might meet with different challenges later, but just keep calm and be prepared to defeat them. Also, he generously said we could feel free to ask him for help when necessary. Hearing this, I felt inspired and confident about my new school life at senior high.
