freshman

I was pretty ner-
vous coming to a new
school as a freshman.
Everyone said that high
school was the best
time in his or her life,
but I wasn't so sure.
As it turns out,
they were right, I had
nothing to worry about.
The first day of school
was great. I could find
all my classes. (OK,
maybe I got lost once or
twice , but who doesn't?)
One downfall was my
name. Teachers called
me by my whole name
(Juliette) , but I corrected
them quickly.
So far I really like
school. I've got great
teachers and have met
a lot of new people.
