MY FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL
I am in class VIII now. Five years ago, my father wanted to
put me to class Ill in my village school. It was because he had taught me at
home up to class Il. I was good at arithmetic and Oriya.
On an auspicious day, he took me to the village school. He
introduced me to the headmaster of the school. The headmaster asked one of his
assistant teachers to conduct a test for me.
I took the entrance test, and fortunately came out with
flying colors. The headmaster was very pleased with my performance.
I was very nervous at the outset. But my parents consoled
me. They told me I would get playmates there.
A teacher took me to class Ill and seated me in the front
row. I attended some classes and answered my teachers’ questions to their
satisfaction. During the recess I played with the pupils of my class.
School was over at 4 pm and I came back home with my
friends.
I narrated my pleasant experiences at school to my parents.
They were happy to know that I had begun to love my school.
