Hello everyone!
I lived in the United Stated for two years and I want to tell you about my first day of school.
When I moved to the U.S I live in a Rogers, it's a small city in the Arkansas state. Which is somewhere in the South-West of the United States.
I remember my first day in secondary school very well, I was afraid of every thing. Now I think it's funny, but back to the time I were there I didn't think so.
Everything was different, the holl-ways, the parking-lot, even kids were not the same as in Russia.
You might think that it was funny, but I bet you never ever ever in your life saw the girl in a bunny-rabbit slippers!
I still can't understand this girl...well we never spoke may be that’s why =)
Well let's get back to my story. I was there with my parents standing in front of director's office. I tried to se some good in this situation, too bad I can't.
My first impression was not so good...the director, I can't remember his name now, may be I was a bad student because every one in school knew his name)
When he was standing in front of me smiling and being nice, I felt a little better. May be everyone going to be that way to me.
He had a short conversation with my parents about school, the school bus and some other stuff with was not interesting for me.
Then he gave me my schedule and walks me down the hall way to my class. I was a computer class. Kids were working on their computers and when I walked in the looked up… I felt dizzy.
Then the women who were a teacher speak up, asked me to introduce my self and I felt better and better. When the class was over we went to the buss stop and went to the other school. I never saw a yellow school bus! Only on a TV. Everyone was nice to me. And the rest of the day didn’t have any problems at all. My next headache was a locker…I hate that little thing! Sometimes I can’t open it, I felt so angry! But the little metal box didn’t want to open at all!

I were surprised by the library , it was huge! I love spend my lunch time down there because kids in school aloud to use the internet during the break, read a book, or use a laptops! I love that school! Also I found out that almost everyone were in some activities after the school, some play sport, some war in a school band, some were an artist or an actors. I decided to try out for volleyball team. And I did it! Awwww happy day! Since that time I was in school for another two hours everyday. I find a lot of friends in a volleyball team. And in every class I took were a lot of different people. They don’t have only one class like we use to have in Russia. I love Rogers I miss that time I spend there. I went to the high school there as well, and I play volleyball too. But in a High School we spend almost 3-4 hours on practice before the game.
I’m really thankful for my parent to give me a chance to do all that. I will remember this time as a best time in my life!
