the day of the beginning of term

When I was in secondary school, I had to move to another school near my paternal grandmother. My first day at new school is the day I never forget.I went to the new school for the first time without my father. And, I began learning to do everything myself. At that time, I was only 11 years old but I could recollect all the happenings on that day.

The day before new school opened, my father asked me to keep the necessary papers to apply for new school, showed me the bike and didn’t say any more, although I had not riden any bike for 3 years and I didn’t know the way to go to school clearly. The next morning, I woke up very early. Then I had bathed and dressed myself neatly. After I said good-bye my father, I took bike and began a full challenge day.
The first moment, I was still like a fish out of water. I was strange to the bike, it was too big for me to ride, thought. Therefore, I stopped for a moment and then I could ride a bike. I tried to keep balance but my hand was shaken like a leaf as motorbikes passed me. When I could control a bike better, I realized that I was standing in the crossing. I did not know which way I should take. Fortunately, a little later, I saw some pupils wear badge of school that I needed to come. Immediately, I ran after them but in my heart, I worried that if they did not go to where I want to come,how I could do? because the village was quite thinly populated and had a few people in the road, sometimes. I still worried, but I heard some noise from children. Coming closer, laughing voice and joking voice was more clearly. I stopped and I was very happy when I saw the sentence”The Secondary School -TAN PHONG” it was my new school name.
In the school, I saw a large number of new boys and girls waiting in the yard. I felt the eyes all of the school were looking me when I took my bike through the gate. I was confused. Suddenly, a ball punched on my face, I fell. Everybody laughed at me. I was very embarrassed. While I did not know how to do, a girl with a big smile came and asked me if I needed some help, she was willing. That made me more calm and confident. After that, she showed me the principal’s room and help me completed procedure for entering school.

Of course, we became the best friends of each other after that, we had no lessons on the first day. However, for me, I had learnt many things in that day. Up to now, everytime I come to a new environment for the first time, it always makes me recall that day, and experiment from that day also helps me adapt to new place easily.
