Tahlen's+Big+Step_12

=MY BIG STEP= Dawn brightened in the beautiful sunlight of the morning. The breeze was light and there were no clouds in sight. I felt light in my eyes then I realized it was time. My mom tapped me on the shoulder and told me to get ready. When I got dressed and brushed my teeth we got in the car and my mom asked me,"are you excited?"

"I don't know mom, it's my first time ever going to school, i'm kind of nervous ".

"It's okay to be nervous, you'll get over it. The teacher is supposed to be really nice this year," she said.

We arrived at school and when we got in the halls, lots of kids wearing lots of colors brightened my day. The walls were made of bricks that had 3 tones of red. A bunch of kids surrounded me. We entered the room and it was huge. There was a daily schedule, lots of tables and a ton of toys. I kept looking around the room and I found a table with my name tag on it. The teacher walked up to us and said "hi i', Mrs. Parker and welcome to our classroom."

"Thanks." I said.

It looked like she was super mean but it turns out she was really nice. My mom left and a few minutes into class we played a game called the name game. It's where you pass a ball around and when you get the ball you say your name and pass the ball to the next person. When we started, the ball was passed around and it was passed to me. A tear of sweat almost trickled off my head when I wiped it off and finnaly said, " my name is Tahlen."

After I said those 4 words, something went off in my head, I couldn't figure it out until I felt it. I was confident. I knew there was nothing to be scared of. As the ball was being passed around, kids fumbled for it while it slid right out of the tips of their fingers as if it was made of butter. Then I noticed another kid and he broke a sweat to. All the other kids felt just like I did. The day ended and my mom came to pick me up.

"How was your day?" she asked.

"It was... fun," I said.

That day I knew there was nothing to be frightened of because all the people around me felt the same way. So I knew if I was ever nervous again I would think of how all the other people around me felt, and that would help me feel better. When I look back on it this year I laugh because there was nothing to be scared of it seems as if it were a joke. When I go into First grade I know what to be prepeared for and how to act. The next year, in first grade lets just say it was fun.
