Education and Unforgettable Experience
Unforgettable Experience I still remember my prime(prenominal) day of school in USA. Its an unforgettable experience that I will always remember. In 2001 my family and I moved to USA, Arizona from India for better life and education. I was placed at 6th grade elementary school. jump day of school for any student can be sullen, but even hard for a student who doesnt speak a invent of English. Now, what made my first day of school so unforgettable was how I had to find my physical body, how I had to introduce myself to my untried classmates, and how I tried to understand what the instructor was attempt to teach.Reading a map and navigating the class location is quite hard for a 6th grader. Specially, for a student thats in a new country and a new school like myself. I got off the bus and I have my school map on my hand trying to find where my class is. I am running one way to another holding my heavy backpack. Accidently, I ran into a girl. We both fell hard to the ground. I a pace got up and helped her pick her stuff up and apologized. Funny to say I knew how to say sober from watching movies, I said sorry to her but I didnt understand a word she was saying to me and she didnt seem quite happy.I understood from her facial expressions that she was cursing me and the students around were laugh out loud. Then, a nice lady teacher see Mrs. Smith came and I showed her my class number. Somehow, she understood that I needed help. So she helped me to my class aft(prenominal) that embarrassing scene. Now everyone knows first day of school is about the teacher introducing themselves, going over the class rules and every student introducing their self to the class. My teacher name Mrs.McDonalds started with talking about herself and also, about what we were going to do that school year. After her it was the students turn, one by one each student stood up and said their name. They told the class about their interests and favorite things to do. I am nervously look ing around trying to figure out what is going on. Then all of the sudden everyone starts complete(a) at me and the teacher is asking me something. I started getting nervous and shy. I only understood the word name the teacher said, so I quickly told her my name.Then I stood quietly while the whole class started to laugh because of the awkward situation. After an embarrassing introduction of me to the class the teacher started to talk about our first assignment. We had to write a news report essay with at least 500 words. As she explaining and teaching us about how to put together a narrative essay. I am sitting there asking to myself what in the world is going on. What do I do? It was even hard for students with English be their first language. Sitting in class not knowing a word of English was not fun.My classmates didnt want to work with me because I couldnt communicate with them. I just couldnt wait for school to end for the day. It is an unforgettable experience I will always remember and think about. A quote that comes to mind says you always learn the hardest way unknown. What I went through that day made things easier for me the next day of school because I was more aware of things. I was more careful on my way to class, tried to learn how to introduce myself and ask the teacher for help with assignments.
