It�s 8:00am and I finally pulled up to the one place I have been looking forward to for the past 10 years. I grab my bag and say, � wish me luck� giving my mom a kiss on the cheek and walking up to those big green doors on Wilson Street. I open the doors with butterflies in my stomach, not knowing what�s going to happen or whom I�m going to meet. I go down the hall, just past guidance, attendance, and main offices. I have a smile on my face and a nervous feeling in my stomach. I approach my locker #167 and I open it to put my stuff inside. I grab my binder and pencil case and start up the stairs to room 315 my first class of the day. After a long search, I was finally standing in front of the class. I take a deep breathe and say to myself � they are going to love yeah!� I walk in and see five other people just sitting there quiet and still. I take a seat at the back. Everyone started coming in one by one and a girl sat beside me. �I�m Paula� she introduced, �I�m Tina� I replied. Finally that class ended and it was on to those others with the same feeling. At the end of the day I gathered my books walked out those green doors and took a deep breathe and just thought what a great year it�s going to be!
