My First Day of School in Secondary One 2005

In a blink of an eye, this is my fourth year in Kent Ridge Secondary School. Thinking about that fact is amazing.

When I was in Secondary One, everyone was so tiny. As I lived far from school, I did not really have friends. So I was hoping that I could see people that came from the same Primary School as me. Without anyone to rely on, it was rather frightening. I was so nervous. Nervous of not being able to make any friends and also having a fierce teacher.

I remember that after the assembly, there were students bigger than us, going towards all different classes. After that, I learn that they were the councillors. The name was rather new to us. In our Primary school, they were called prefect. The first thing we did was ice-breakers. Actually I do not remember most of the part about the games. But i remember one of the games we played was blow-wind-blow because i was made to sing a song. That was rather embarrassing. Actually when the councillors brought us around the school, i was shocked that the canteen wan on the third storey and also there is a lift! It was great to have lift. But then, I was told that it was not for use by students. But why?

While being made to introduce ourselves, i found out that there are two classmates that came from the same primary school. Going for recess on my own was most terrible. It was lonely. I bought a stick of donut holes and ate it alone at one of the canteen tables outside bookshop. But time pass so slowly. After finishing the donut, i had nothing to do.

Then it was lesson time. One by One the teachers came in. Most of the teachers made us introduce ourselves. Some played games with us. I remember Mr low our science teacher played a number game with us. The winner was given a sweet and was told to give it to a opposite sex. Just nice for the boy, his female cousin was in the same class as him. And therefore, he gave the sweet to his cousin. The teachers were mostly friendly, except that i do not really like making introductions.

Finding a CCA was a hassle for me. I did not go for the trials as i never thought it is were so important.

On the first day of school, an incident happened that helped me make a new friend. Because i was not told of my register number yet, once i found a seat, i just sat down. But when the teacher checked our register number, i was told that someone else and i had sat at the wrong seats and wanted us to swap places. This girl smiled at me and made me want to make friends with her. Now, we were also told to compose cheers and competes among other classes. It was fun but our class did not win. It was hard to think of new cheers. It needs a little teamwork.

We received a letter to parents to inform them that we were going for sec one orientation camp. I was not very happy about it because i do not like camps. It is tough to live somewhere other than our own home. After all, it was an interesting and memorable day.
