First day at school

Feeling shy, scared, lost and angry, like anyone child would feel, I entered my new Secondary school. I am a new student to GMSS, my new secondary school. I've just graduated from my primary school and am promoted to a secondary school. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Cheryl and am 13 this year. GMSS is my school of choice and fortunate as I am, I got in to this school.

Entering this school with fear I proceeded to the quadrangle where all of us were suppose to assemble. I looked around me, hoping to find a familiar face but it was to no avail. I was seperated from my friends. Knowing the fact that i'm alone, I felt angry, I was not use to this kind of atmosphere. I wanted to be with my friends but we have all gone on our seperate ways. At that moment, I just hoped GMSS was not of my choice and I was angry with myself not following my friend;'s choices.

We sang the National Athem, took the pledge and there is something very new to me. And that is, take the students' creed. We went for Chapel and that is, another very new thing to me. I was not from a Christian primary school so Chapel is very, very, very new to me. Well, it is something where we gather together sing praises to the Lord. Then, we went back to our classroom. Since it is the first day, the class was very quiet. We were shy and no one spoke even when we had to. The day ended with a goodbye to the Sec 1 pals for the first day.

Second day at school

We started the orientation camp activities. We cheered and dance. With us knowing each other better, the class was slightly chaotic. Well, I suppose, we had all gave the Sec 1 pals a hard time because, when we were suppose to sing, we don't, but when we were not suppose to talk, we talk. I'm not sure if all the shoutings at us had landed the sec 1 pals into a severe sore throat. But, I think it didn't, cause they were shouting at us again the following day. I had make a new friend and her name is Janice. We stayed together most of the time. But I realised that there is something different about the people in this class and my Primary School class. The thing is that the pupils of my primary school do not bother who we sit with. Girl or boy we do not bother. Even the hugging of a boy and a girl were not bothered. But in this class, whenever we are asked to squeeze together, ther will be a long, long river seperating us. Maybe we are shy, since it's only the second day of school. When I realised this, I really hoped that I was with my Primary school friends again. But as the old saying goes, "What's done, can't be undone". We've chose different schools and went on our seperate ways. We can't "re-choose" our school and make time go back. The most is that I've to adjust to the changes.

Third day at school

This is the longest day at school for the whole week. School ended at 1.15pm sharp on Tusday and Wednesday but it at at 9pm today(last Friday). Why? You asked. That is partially because today is the last day of the orientation. Next week, lessons will begin as usual. Today, we practice non stop for the mass dance competition. It was such a disgrace. We lost in every competition. The cheer, dance, behavior and flag. Well, who says that if we are good in our studies, we must be good in our talents? So we lost totally. I believe the sec 1 pals who had train us so hard, were even more depress than we were. We had a tour around the school and got to know the core value better. The day ended with us all sticky and tired. I dragged my lazy foot all the way.

All in all, I had a great time getting to know the people in my class and had a chance to get a better understanding of the school. Surprisingly, even though I still have the slight urge to transfer to another school, I still think think that I had made the right choice choosing GMSS as 1 of the 8 choices
