My first day at school.

I remember it clearly. The tension was too much. I couldn't sleep the night before. Was the bag packed - yes ? Were the shoes polished - yes ? Did I have the socks ready - yes ? Uniform - yes ? Hmmm should go back to sleep. But I just couldn't. Its the first day of school. How will the school be ? Will there be nice new friends to make ? What if no one likes me !! Will the teacher be good ? How will the settling in go ? Oh dear its already morning. Maybe its not such a good idea after all. We were all ready in time. Yes the whole family was coming after all its the first day. I squeezed dad's hand. He smiled reassuringly. We reached school. Hmmm everyone seems nice enough. Here comes the head teacher. Oh she seems nice, she even smiled at me. Phew ... time to make some new friends. Ok I am not disliked. Phew. Time to go to class. Oh the teacher is nice too. She smiled and talked sweetly to me. I look at dad and say I like school. I take my son's hand and say 'Ok sonny boy I will be right here waiting for you. Go ahead and enjoy.'. When he went smiling inside, I went and joined the moms I had just made friends with.
