I remember waking up on the first day of school,

A new way of life,

Something I’ve never done before.

I remember stepping foot into the classroom with my parents,

And seeing all new faces,

Seeing every kid as shy as me to greet one other,

I remember eventually talking with someone at recess, 

We became friends and I realized, 

I just have to put myself out there and I will find the right people.

I remember being happy to wake up and go to school, 

In the fresh morning air knowing I would learn to have fun, 

And Learn things that fascinated me, 

Going home eager to tell my parents what I did that day.
