My first semester being a secondary school student

As dawn breaks, i sat on the wooden platform as the sunlight penetrates through the morning fog. I looked up, at the majestic features and the tall towers, as a jolt of warmness encircled my body. I made a good decision to enter the dream school i have been waiting for, my new secondary school.

Looking back at my first semester here in XXX secondary school, it was definitely full of surprises. It seemed to me that it was all of a dream. As usual, there were joys and woes and there were times that i lost quite a lot of opportunities. This was a new beginning of another phase of life and i had to say that it was quite stressful.

It appeared to me that it had only been 6 months since i reluctantly left primary school, but it looked like a few years to me. I still remember the glorious day of my old school, where we trashed other school in sports, sent them begging for mercy with our wonderful performing arts and made their jaws drop at our excellent academic performance...... Those days were so happy and relaxing......

But that was 6 before and i had no choice but to enter the second phase of life, that is, to choose a secondary school and i chose XXX secondary school. The life here was tough and stressing and a lot of my friends cannot cope with it.

I felt a breeze run across my face and shuddered involuntarily.

Life for the first few weeks was good and all of us had tremendous fun. I learned our school rules and attended some CCA trials. Our teachers were also not teaching but rather giving us character talks.

Then...

The next few weeks were bad, very bad.

Our teachers started their respective lessons and i could not understand a lot of what they are saying. I was troubled and my friends also could not figure out the wise and meaningful words. I struggled on......

And now......

Life was no better.

I sighed.

Now, we were spammed with worksheets everyday and it takes quite a miracle to squeeze out time for ACE projects...... Yes, quite a miracle indeed...

It made me think whether i really like this school, and i contemplated and pondered......

I watched lazily at the white fluffy clouds.

However...

My time at XXX secondary school was filled with joy. I made new friends and i learned several character traits and acquired knowledge. We also tend to help each other in homework matters and taught each other with patience in areas we falter. Also,whenever i heard people praising XXX school students, i feels a rush of joy course through my body.

I grinned as my thin lips curled up in a smile.

Yes, it was not bad, not bad indeed. Instead, to think of it, i feel that this school really is the perfect school for me.

Although everyday was the same, i experienced a kind of happiness i never experienced before. Everyone was acting in a gentlemanly manner, well, almost everyone, and they taught me a lot of things outside curriculum. I am really thankful.

There were times where i falter, but a lot of my classmates, my friends, helped me sincerely,
There were also times where i succeed, and i helped my friends sincerely.

Although some of my classmates did not like me very much, i will still continue to render my support to them as i feel that if i helped others first, they will learn to accept me.

This semester had been a fulfilling one. It was filled with joys and woes and there had been lots of new things happening to me. I had now learned to adapt to the hectic schedule that is apparently present in XXX secondary school by spending my time wisely. I also made new friends, created new bonds and familarised myself with the various teachers.

I stood up, now apparently similing. Recess is almost over. I took my last glance at the clock tower, before rushing back to class.

I had entered a theatre of dreams, a majestic school, a evergreen school, an elite school, a respected school, my secondary school.

Yes. I had made the right choice.

Yes indeed.
