Describe your first day at school as a child That morning my mother woke me up earlier than usual. She urged me to get dressed and take breakfast quickly then tenderly took me to school. On the way to school I met other children of my age accompanied by their parents to school. The nearer I came to the school gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange feeling of fear and worry seized my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I felt like crying when my mother said good bye to me and put some coins into my pocket. Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But when I saw old pupils laughing and talking merrily I regained my composure. After the droll of a drum, we were instructed to stand in line to salute the colours and then go into our classes. A young and mild-looking teacher greeted us at the door. And in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget!
