My First Day in School

The last school year was totally different from what we are experiencing these days. Every first day or even the first week of school, we could witness different scenarios in every classroom, especially in the lower grade levels. There were some pupils crying because they were afraid of the new environment. Some were so excited to see their classmates, teachers, and also to the new learning experiences.  

Due to pandemic, we are transitioning from face to face learning to distance learning. On distance learning, we will be using online platforms such as Google Meet, Zoom, and many more.  This is new to some and it's normal to be afraid. During my first day in school, I was afraid as well and so stressed because of the slow internet connection, technical glitches, and so on. My first day in class may not be perfect, but I am grateful because I learned a lot and those learnings keep me going.  

The first day in class is the beginning of the new chapter of our life. Of course, there are adjustments, and after some time, I know that we could adapt well to this new environment.  The first day in class may go well but we are unsure of the next days of it. It is uncertain, but I want you to be optimistic, diligent, and have faith in yourself that you can do all of the academic requirements with flying colors.
