Ans:- It can be rather the pecuilar, when a from the bygons time can remain so clear in our minds even after a considerable period of time. To cite an example, I could offer an event of my day of high school. It was a day of mixed emotions which permanently remains fresh in my memory.
I woke up early on the first day of high school, feeling nervous and excited at the same time. I had spent my vacations preparing for this movement, buying college dresses, stationary, and backpack I wanted to make a good impression and commence high school on the right Post I saw other students from my neighbourhood who wore going to the same school. Sume of them I know from middle school. while others werd new faces. When the bus arrived, we all got on and found seats I sat next to girl who seemed nice bub didn't say much I introduced myself, and she replied with a shy smile with her introduction as well.
As we arrived at school, the school looked enormous and I felt like a small fish in a big pond. Then, the principal welcomed us to the school and gave a speech about the imperative of education. and making good choices After the assembly, we went to our first period classes .English, was our first class, and the teacher gave us a syllabus and introduced himself .I was very delighted that he seemed friendly and approachable. As the day went on, I met new classmates and teachers.All are very kind, helpful and friendly. I had lunch with friends, and made plans to join a sports team, as I was keen in a playing games since from my childhood.
By the end of the day, I was exhausted, but very glad of my first experience of high school .I knew that there would be challenges. ahead, but I felt ready to face them with the support of my family, friends, and teachers.
