I still remember crying on my first day at school. I am not writing about kindergarten (òfl?)

because everyone cries there—sometimes every day. I am talking about my first day in primary school. My brother brings me to school, hands me over to a teacher and them she has to leave. I think that she is not with me anyone. That makes me really sad.

Right after my mother leaves, I start to cry. Then the boy next to me starts to cry, too. And almost everyone is crying. The teacher clearly knows what to do. She doesn’t look at us. Soon,we learn that we are not going to get our mothers back no matter what we do, and so we start to do some

coloring. Later, she stops us one by one and gives us our name cards. Then we know that we belong to Mrs. Foo our teacher.

We are coloring all day and we finish over ten pictures. But we’re happy about one thing. Everyone can speak to the teacher and she speaks English the way we do.

The end of the day comes soon. When my mother and I meet at the school gate, I find there is a big smile on her face. I feel I am a grown—up boy now .I am in school.
