<> **__ The opening of a new beginning __** Like most people I was nervous for my very first day at middle school. // However ,// I was the only one ever in history to flip out letting my nervousness blind me of what the first day of middle school was really about. “Wake up.” My mom said with a firm yet gentle voice. Lazily I got out of bed then ding a thought popped to my head, it was the first day of middle school, as soon as I got up I wanted to go too sleep but I knew my mom wouldn’t allow that, also I was a little to tired to even care. // Getting // out my bed thud my feet went then I went to the bathroom to gargle and well do my business. As soon as I splashed some water to my face I was wide awake and ready for the rest of my day. // Down // the stairs I went since I had a little time before breakfast was ready I decided to take a little nap on the couch when break fast was ready I got up. When eating break fast it was silent in an odd kind of way you could hear noise but something felt sustain as if time stopped and I was the only one who could move. // While // break fast I was able to have little memories of what might happen during my first day. Then after breakfast I drank my vitamins and went to go brush my teeth. When I was brushing my teeth I just wanted to hide some where in my house like a turtle in its shell. // Though // it sounded like a good idea at the time I knew I would just be acting ridiculous for hiding. Then I hurtled down stairs with my sweater and I put on my back pack, it was pretty heavy back then however it probably is no problem for me now. Instead of waiting for my bus to get to the bus stop I had decided to just go to the bus stop and though my house was only a few steps away from the part however with all my tension it felt like an endless road. Every single step I took made me look back and wonder what could’ve happened if I were just to stay home for the whole entire sixth grade year. My body said to move back but my mind said keep going. A little voice just wanted it all to stop but it just couldn’t find the strength. The bus came and I walked aboard then John had gestured a seat which at the time I hadn’t realized that was what my day was going to be like. We made it to school which surprised me because I did feel that the bus driver did have some rough driving. // Into // the doors of middle school, I walked through the hallway to the holding area. “All sixth graders go through this door and line up according to your home room section,” a teacher had exclaimed. My heart was pounding like an elephant charging at a tree. However it eased a little when I saw some familiar faces. We heard a whistle which meant that we had to fall in line. One by one they let us go to our homerooms. Since I’ve had been chosen to be in the rockets I had to get to the rocket’s hall way, and lucky for my class our home room teacher escorted us so we wouldn’t get lost. As we entered the room the desks I had observed that the desks were medium sized hardly anything was on the walls and there stood a tall green chair in the front and at the very front a gleaming white board. “Now class I want you to find your name that’s where you will be sitting” our home room teacher instructed. I had seen my name on a desk at the very front next to Dominick Ciampi who makes quite the impression he couldn’t stop talking or sit still and very hilarious and I knew at that exact moment that I would never forget him. Then our homeroom teacher had assigned us our locks it was so lustrous and cold as snow it had a black dial with white numbers there was a red tip and the rest was a lustrous silver then she lead us out to our assigned lockers pure blue that had a silver label which had black engraving. Though I do forget which number my old locker was. “All homeroom teachers there will be an extended home room so you’re able to have enough time to assign your students lockers” someone through the speaker had announced. Then I put all my stuff inside and got out everything that I would need for home room and in the morning. Homeroom was easy it was just an introduction to what we were going to do and the rules which simple then the bell rung and everyone went outside which had made me confused so I just followed everyone else then. When I was about to go back to my first period room which also was my homeroom I noticed that no one from my homeroom was there which was weird because every one said that they were going to still be in the same room. Thinking quickly I decided to go to second period and I was right. When I entered my second period class it was filled with all sorts of posters, the desks looked like the one back at my home room, and it had a huge white board and a mini one too. At math I was actually starting to really cheer up however the day wasn’t still done so I figured that maybe I would still have a little troubles during my first time in middle school. Mrs. Ferraro had in formed us that we were going to have a great time this year and she will try to make it as fun for us as she possibly can. Then it was time to go to science which wasn’t too long from the rocket’s hall way as I thought it would which to me is actually a great thing. However I thought it may be hard to be able to get my lunch and make it before the bell. The science room didn’t have desks but tables and they were black on the top and the sides the rest were tan which you can see as you will notice that it is made of wood. The room didn’t have too much poster but it did have a white board. They went over with us lab safety rules explaining it thoroughly going over any that we had during the end. Then they had explained about the new science program that the school developed for the students so they get use to different kinds of teaching methods. Which I had found honored to be one of the first students to try out the new science program. Another thing I was a little worried because what if I’m not able to find the other teacher’s room however I knew that I would able to ask the teacher’s when it was time or I could ask on of my classmates. Now it was off to English fourth and fifth period which I really couldn’t think of any reason why we would have two periods. Same as my math class it had many posters and the desks had names on it which had told us where to sit they were in alphabetical order of course. One thing I had wondered is why we have two periods of English. Mrs. Patalano had explained about what we’re going to do through out the year, what we do when you get in, and the rules. // During // fifth period Mrs. Patalano made us read an excerpt and write about as I was working I knew we were going to have a lot too do the whole year. Entering the gymnasium it was huge and it had a score board there were blue bleachers and all we did was that they got our weight room. Back In my old elementary school we didn’t have a weight room or a score board and it wasn’t as huge as this one. Then after that you just got to talk to your friends. It was seventh period on an A day which means I go to Spanish and it was in the room of my math class. Sr. Rugerrio explained to us that we are to have an assessment for every two marking periods then we did a review and Spanish. That was my first day of middle school and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. All that tension had no point because middle school is nothing to be afraid it just a change in your life a difference. Now that I’m looking back I am realizing what middle school is truly about an open door to something fresh and brand new a whole world just waiting for you and the one thing you have to do is walk right through that door.
