I remember my first day of secondary school extremely well. I had been looking forward to it all summer but when it came down to the actual day, I was scared to the bone. When you’re younger, it seems so easy to make friends, you just play with each other in the playground and you have a new friend. Whereas when you go to secondary school you’re more cautious. You want to make a good first impression and seem cool at the same time, I mean who wants to get picked on? Everyone wants to fit into this new school and make new friends.
I still remember sitting down in the hall, looking around and seeing so many new people. I had been so use to the small environment of primary school where there was only 75 people in my year, and we were the biggest year at school. So coming to secondary school was a big change. Only 14 people from my primary school came with me to that school and I wasn't exactly friends with most of them. My friends all went to the other all-girls school in Bath whereas I and 2 of my other friends went to the one I was sat in, looking around trying to find some courage in me to talk to one of them. For the rest of the morning, I had not found that courage, luckily this one girl in my tutor had. We were put next to each other and she started talking to me. She turned out to be one of my best friends for those 5 years I was at that school for. That day had seemed so scary at times in the summer, but on the day.
When you see all these movies about what high school is like, you start to think that is what secondary school is going to be like. Everyone in their separate groups for example, the popular people. However the reality isn't like that, everyone was really nice I remember thinking on the first day. Even though through the years many of my opinions on people changed but on the first day, I felt like the next 5 years were going to be good and I was going to be happy there.
