Summer has finally come to an end and now you are expected to head your way back to school. The first day back may be tiresome to many due to putting an end on happiness summer brought. For other back to school is the time of their life. New bag, bottles, clothes, and pool of stationeries filled their sight. However, you may feel you know a school is a place for learning. It's a place where you form new associates, come in contact with people of different nature and form new ideas and habits. Everyone's experience is different and it's one to remember.
First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg is about a new grade school teacher named Sarah Jane Hartwell who isn't excited about teaching at her new school. However, her husband encourages her to go and enjoy it. Sarah and I are similar and different in many ways. At the beginning of the story Sarah didn't want to get out of bed due to laziness. I also felt the same as her on the first day of school because I was upset that summer came to an end and I had to put an end on all the fun summer had brought. Also, on the first day school my dad drove me to school just like how Mr.Hartwell drover her wife. Sarah and I are different because Sarah is a teacher and i'm a student. This is interesting because the story tell us that even teachers dread coming back to school just like us students. This is how I related with First Day Jitters.
When I Was Eight by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton is about a eight year old Inuit
To many freshman the first day of high school is the opening chapter of a new novel, a fresh start to a sometimes embarrassing middle school experience we would all just love to erase from our memories. August 13th, 2012 was the beginning of my four year long narrative at Cypress Bay High School. Despite my desperate desire to grow up, become an adult, and move far away from my parents for college all that did not seem possible because I had never previously attended a public school. I was struck with fear that I would not be able to adjust to the fast pace dynamics of a large high school.
When the first day came, I arose to the sun shining through the blinds in my room. As I sat up, I felt the butterflies circling in my stomach. I was nervous to start fifth grade at a new school, and have new friends and teachers. I quickly ran to my closet and pulled out my freshly ironed jumper.
I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity. In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through moving that I may never have learned otherwise. What I have learned about myself and the world will without a doubt contribute to my success in life and even law
The first day of school as a freshman I was excited and nervous to go. Last year in eighth grade we were the big dogs in the school and now we are back to being the little newbies. I was thinking how will I find my classes, my locker, the office, where do I sit at lunch and will I make new friends. As for the seniors first day, I’ll be excited we are the big dogs in the school again. We already know where our classes are, who our teachers are, we are very calm about being back and excited to start their last year of high
It’s only natural to keep vivid memories of certain monumental moments in life, such as the first day of school, for a long time. “The First Day” by Edward P. Jones tells the story of a mother and daughter on the daughter’s first day of school. In the beginning of the story, the mother goes to great lengths to prepare her daughter for this important occasion. After the preparation is over, she takes her daughter to a particular school before being told that she is in the wrong school district. They are directed to the correct school and that is where the daughter is registered to attend. However, the mother is not able to fill out the registration form because she cannot read or write. Along with love,
The first day of school is a book just opened with the story yet to unfold. My story starts in a new unfamiliar place. It was intimidating to walk into the halls of Larned High School. Coming from a school of 80 students to a school of over 300 students was a massive change.
”Bye students. Have a great summer,” the teacher yells over the bell. Happiness and joy fills the classrooms as everyone leaves the room talking about their summer plans with their friends and family.This is the way it should be,but what if all that was taken away just like that? and the joy of summer vacation suddenly disappeared? All you had planned to have with the people you were closest with. How would you feel if all of that was gone? That's why we shouldn't have year-round schooling, because it complicates schedules, add to costs, and with year round schooling
The first day of school: a day where I would begin an eleven-year journey full of academics
Along with the comeback of school we need to “Pity our poor teachers who spend every September reprogramming children to do their homework, spending hours on remedial lessons and waiting until overtired children readjust to regular bedtimes” says McFeatters. She made me realize that schooling lacks over the summer and forgets to stick for the arrival of school. As stated, teenage workers’ jobs have become taken by those whom are unsuccessful adults trying to make a living. Being a teenager, I plan on trying to get a job, but my education is also in my hands of retaining throughout a summer of jobs and even summer school to keep up with my schooling to get into more colleges with an overloaded class agenda. Year-round school would keep up with my education, and there would be more breaks to find jobs here and there to keep up with extra curricular, or even my car.
Summer had just ended and students had finally returned to the nine-month grind of school. Everyone was jittery
For many students, going to school is more than just a part of the daily routine. A lot of students see their role in school as an importance to their life, but as well to their future success. Many of us have gotten told by parents or teacher that school is an important
After a long summer break full of vacations, pool days, endless sleepovers, and other crazy adventures, students return to school with rested minds and darker skin. During the previous school year, they were constantly worried about homework, projects, and tests. Their three month getaway has cleared their thoughts of school completely, which is precisely the problem. When teachers ask returning students what material they remember from last year, the answer is absolutely nothing.
From the moment I walked into the doors of Gertrude Fellow’s Elementary School as a five-year-old kindergarten student, I fell in love. I went into each day excited and ready to learn. This passion for school continued throughout my high school and college years. It is part of what drives my love for education. School was always an environment to be myself, explore new things, and to even make a few mistakes. As a young child, I thought everybody felt the same way. I was confused when peers said they hated coming to class, or couldn’t wait to go home. I couldn’t understand why anyone would hate something I loved so much.
I love school and I always have. Okay, so it does have some of its problems like bullying and some long homework. Still, I like school a lot. There are some good friends, nice teachers, and some amazing facts. This is a kind of a memoir so it will be all about me and my journeys from PreK to 8th grade (right now). Let’s get on with this.
School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one-third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now.
