My first day of school wasn’t at this school. It was in a place called Newlands Primary School in Johnsonville. Seeing how big the school was terrified me!!! The first thing that I saw was that everyone, I mean EVERYONE wore the same uniform! My first class was Room 10, the junior of the junior’s class. When the teacher introduced me to the class, I felt like a nervous-wreck. The only thing that came out of my mouth was a little “Hi.”, then the class shouted “HELLO IVAN!!!”. The force of the noise made me feel like I was being pushed to the wall and my eardrums were ringing. All the children giggled at my startled face. The second thing the teacher did was to put me in a group. The groups were Jellyfish, Starfish, Dolphins and Sharks. One of them was one that I didn’t know about back then. We’ll get to that later. I was put in the Jellyfish, and guess what, that was the one that I didn’t know about! I literally had no clue what the heck was a jellyfish, I was like, “Is it made of jelly with a fish inside? A jelly that could swim? A jelly with a fish-tail?!” I had no clue what it was!!!!!!! The teacher was a major but she was a kind and sweet-hearted woman which raised her voice only when she needs to. Newlands School was completely different than this school but that’s what makes schools unique, you know? At morning tea, someone took me around the school and showed me some places. I won’t say his name because if he was here he would be embarrassed. Let’s just say he was as cheeky as a cat with catnip. And that’s basically it about my past.
