first day of school

The life I’ve Never Had….

ZAID!! ZAID!! The first words I hear when waking up from the 2 and a half hour sleep I got the night before. My mom is in her morning daze, half asleep in her night gown waking me up for the first day of my new life. I get up slowly, body aching like I’ve just been put into a blender and crushed up. I move, eyes still just barely awake and lunge myself into the shower. I get in and it feels like I’m in the waters of the Arctic Ocean with my body shivering all over and the aching feeling your body gets when it’s too cold. Now I’m awake more than ever and feel a little nervous for the first day of high school.

I get out of the shower now and I am looking for something nice but casual to wear. I am deciding between my gray shirt and my white shirt and I decide to wear the gray one because it looks nicer on me. So I throw it on with a pair of cacky shorts and I head down the stairs. As I get down the stairs I look at the time and realize how long it took me upstairs. I quickly run in the bathroom to brush my teeth and then when I finish I go to the garage.

As I get my shoes on getting ready to go to the bus I think of what high school is going to be like. Is it scary being a freshman? Do people really pick on you because you’re a freshman? Well in about 20 minutes I was going to find out. As I walk outside, it’s dark out. I’m thinking it was never this dark out last year when I went to my bus stop. As I reach the bus stop, there are about 9 people at my bus stop, I knew about 5 of them, but the other 4 I didn’t know. As I see the bus coming down the road, I think “Man I’m going to have to get use to this more often.”

As I get on the bus I don’t really know anyone so I just decide to sit in the back by myself. It was interesting going a different way to school because usually I would be going to Holmes but now I’m going to Stevenson. As I arrive at the school, I see many people going into the school. I get off the bus, and follow them into this new school of mine. I walk into the school and find a friend so I decide to walk with him. I finally find my locker and put the stuff I had with me into it.

Summer is finally over. All the late nights I would stay up with my cousins and brother were done now. I walk into my first hour now and find where I sit and sit down. Here are the next 4 years of my life. I hope they are good 4 years.

Stevenson is a pretty good highschool so far. It is very big and I still havent been to parts of the school. Its a lot better in the morning because you have 25 minutes to do what you want. I usually talk to my friends in the morning. Also a better thing i like it is that you can play more sports in highschool. The sport im playing now is soccer.



There are also things I dont like about the school. First off i dont like how you have to wake up so early. I have been getting maybe somewhere from 4-7 hours of sleep a night when i have school. Also its not like i can sleep when i get home because right when i get home i have maybe an hour that i can do for homework then i have to go right back to school for soccer. when i have soccer games i dont usally get home until 9:30 So then when i get home i have to finish my homework which usually takes about an hour to finish sometimes more. One more thing i dont like about the school is that the amount of kids that are in the school. When your walking in the hallways it takes forever because there are so many kids in the hall ways.

At stevenson there are many more things you can do also then you can do in middle school. You could have your phone out in the halls before school and the teachers don't care its out unless when your in their class. Also in the morning you can be listening to your ipods and the teachers also dont care. If you had any kind of electronics out last year they would get taken away.

When your in high school many things are different. You get more freedom then you had in middle school. Teachers also give you more respect and responsibilty but you cant abuse the freedom they give you. So far I think stevenson is a lot better then my old school.
