"Trembling", is the description I felt on my first day in college school. As I wait my Ate Karen in the hallway near our entrance gate to go with me to my designated classroom. When I entered the classroom, I felt dizzy due to the nervousness I felt. A new environment and new faces. "Kaya ko ba?" Our first professor greeted us with a smile, arranged us alphabetically, and one by one she made us introduce ourselves first by citing our names and where we came from. Gradually, I felt ease after that because my new classmates beside me are from the province, too and the others from Manila are welcoming also. The worries I felt is not concerned after all. My worries turn to Excitement. The new environment I face that very first day gives my confidence by embracing my insecurities, conquering my homesickness, and facing the challenge of being an Accounting Student. And even though my highschool friends are not there, I gained new friends. That friends are the ones whom I am with during those challenging years in college and yes until now they're still my very good friends. The first day of my college days is very meaningful to me that's why I clearly remember it as if it was just yesterday. =) When something new happens to us, sometimes we feel unease about it but as they say " Everything you ever wanted is one step outside your comfort zone". That is my First Day of School Experience. I did it! You can do it also!
