My First Day of Middle School by Emily Richardson

I still remember the night before 6^th grade. I was so worried and scared because I missed orientation and I had no idea where I was going. When my mom came into my room and woke me up I didn’t want to get up because I was so scared to go, but I got up anyways. While I was getting ready I could smell bacon cooking downstairs for all of us before our first day of school.     

When I got downstairs I ate my breakfast and then went out to the bus stop. As I was waiting on the bus I was freaking out and my older sister was trying to calm me down. When our bus got to school I walked with my sister in the building so she could tell me where to go.

Our bus was early so all the 6^th graders had to go to the cafeteria and all the 7^th and 8^th graders had to go to the gym. After my sister showed me where the cafeteria was, she went on to the gym, and then I was on my own. When the bell rang I got up and walked out of the cafeteria and went to try to find my locker.

When I found my locker I had no idea how to get it open so I went to find the principle to help. He said “how may I help you?” and I said “may you please help me get my locker open?” and he said “of course.” Once I got my locker open I got my stuff and went to my English class. When I walked in English there were millions of book everywhere and everyone was already sitting in their seats. After English I went to my locker and I couldn’t get it open again so I was late to my next class, and on top of everything I had no idea where the classroom was. After 2^nd block I went to put my stuff in my locker to go to lunch and I still couldn’t get it my locker so my locker neighbor said  “would you like some help?” and I said “yes, please.” After I finally got my stuff in my locker I went to lunch. Lunch was pretty good because I had it with my grade and I got to see all of my friends and catch up on the day.

When lunch was over I had to get my stuff out of my locker for my next class. When I got to my locker I got it open on the very first try and I was really happy that I finally learned how to do it. My 3^rd period was band and I absolutely hated it. It was so boring and I just couldn’t get the hang of it. It sounded like a bunch of dying horse when our class was trying to play. After band I went to history and that was even worse because I’m terrible at history.  Once the bell rang to dismiss 4^th block to go home I was really happy and relieved.

When I got on the bus to go home I sat with my sister to tell her how my day was. When we got home our parents were home to surprise us, and some of the family were there too. After we told them how our day was we went to dinner and spent the rest of the night relaxing and spending time with family.
