First Day At School

by Tejal Jain aged 13

A small girl of three
Fear creeps in me as I look ahead
A building stands tall and bold just there
As I go up the front steps,
The excitement of the children
Creeps me out
Teachers seem to be too strict
And I notice that it’s neat and tidy all around
Suddenly someone taps gently on my shoulder
It’s my class teacher, I see
My heart thumps with fear
And a scared look appears on my face
But her kind face and gentle words
Wipe away all my fears
Slowly, I tell her my name
And before I know,
A story’s been told
She smiles a beautiful smile
Then leads the way kindly to the classroom …
I must admit
My very first day at school
Was very nice indeed

Winner. Well done!
