The school is described as a second home for students. Students achieve their basic training of education and life from their school. They come in contact with new people, experience different cultures and create new habits and ideas. Entering to a new school is extremely difficult especially when they move from a different country, they are leaving their friends and family and entering a whole new environment. My parents decided that I should get a better education, so they decided to move to U.S after I finished my 5th grade in India. We first moved to Maryland and I got enrolled in Nashville Middle School. The admission was confirmed 2nd day after the school was started, so I was already behind in all my classes.
As I walked into the school, I was puzzled. I started sweating and my heart started racing because I didn’t know where to go or what to do, I couldn’t think of anything. I didn’t even know anyone until I showed this one girl my schedule and asked her where my homeroom was, luckily it turned out that she was in homeroom right across from mine so she walked me to my homeroom. As we walk to our homeroom, we started talking, she asked me if I was new to the area and all. I asked her if she has any classes with me and she looked at the schedule and she nodded her head and said, “yes we have science together, period 5 after lunch.” As soon as she said that my heart beat dropped down back to normal thinking at least I know someone in my science class. We reached the hall were our homeroom was and she pointed me toward my homeroom and waved her hand with a smile on a face and said, “see you in the science class.” I smile and said, “I will see you in class if I can find the class.”

... be assigned to one class and you stay in that class all day long and teacher changes. We didn’t have a smart board or anything so it was hard understanding the teachers too. The school time period is not as long as school times in India. You get better sports activity than in India. In India, you do learn more stuff than here so you do get a head start on everything but for long term U.S education is more beneficial than India.

Thoughts

This was an important first experience because after doing 6th grade in Maryland I moved to Pennsylvania and I completed middle school there and this experience helped me out when I started school in Pennsylvania, it made everything easier to me. All thing I need to do was find my class and make new friends. I moved again back to Maryland and Maryland to Oregon in 2015 that experience helps me a lot to adapt the new environment.

    I bolted through the clear door of a small, earth-colored high school, practically slamming the door behind me. Catching my breath, I stood in the school completely drenched and shivering. Rain pounded on the clear door behind me. I stood awkwardly on a mat in front of the doorway, trying not to get the floor wet. I gazed around the hall in front of me. I couldn’t see staff in the office, nor were any students in the hallway or in the classrooms. The entire school was empty.

I had visited the institution over the last three years for my brothers’ wrestling matches, so it was vaguely familiar. After attending Open House the week prior, I became hesitant to approach since last time I had been assaulted by a large group of chatty girls.

    The sun is making its way up the horizon, but has not yet filled the sky with its cheerful rays. We exit the bus and immediately turned into statues. We stood next the flag pole staring at the school entrance. “This is going to be okay. This is going to be okay” I mumbled to myself. I wanted to enter, nonetheless, gravity glued my feet down to the cold concrete ground. My hands started sweating through my thin-knitted pink sweater and tears were about to roll off my eyes. Shortly after, I saw a shadow of a tall woman approaching us from the school’s front door. My heart beats like a drum as she carefully making her way toward us like you would when you proceed a scared puppy. She stood about four feet away from us making sure she’s not invading our comfort zone. She knelt down and shows us her school staff ID card while holding her buzzing walkie talkie on the other hand. She then ask for our names and walked us one by one to our classrooms. I remember it was so early that I had to sit in front of my class waiting for my teacher to

    “High school is tough.” That’s what I was always told. Although, freshmen year was easy for me, I went to East Brunswick VoTech. I woke up at eight and left school at three thirty. All of my friends went to our district high school so I didn’t get to see them much. They also got out of school an hour and a half before I did. The workload was not so bad and I felt a sense of purpose. Then sophomore year came and I decided to transfer to district. I figured I’d get to see all my friends again and there’d be a few differences from VoTech but nothing I couldn’t handle. Oh, how wrong I was. The workload was immediately double what I did in VoTech, maybe even triple. I tried to stay afloat in the sea of work but was easily overwhelmed by it all.

    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 movement that I may never have learned otherwise.

    From the academic point of view, subjects are expected to be advance therefore a lot harder. That is because they want us to get used to arduous endeavors, for the years of hard work ahead of us. I just hope that the knowledge and the preparation done for me during my middle school years will make me well equipped for the challenges my new school will give me. In addition to that, high school will be preparing us for the next level which is the college level and I expect that I will be trained to be an independent person as a whole. This will be a lot of adjustments on my part because the teachers where I am now are not only supportive but very attentive to all of us, their students. I fear that the teachers there will not be as considerate and caring the way my teachers do now. Of course, the teachers will care about the welfare of their students, but, maybe they will not be as warm as here in Blessed Sacrament. I just hope, that the teachers in Stuyvesant would not be exceptionally hard on freshmen students, so I could easily adjust to my new life as a high school
