My First Day At School



My First Day at School


Many years have passed since I was admitted to a school.Still the memory of the first day is quite fresh in my mind.It is Motijheel Ideal School to which I was admitted.

My father took me to the Headmaster who directed me to my class. It was class-IV to which I was admitted the previous day. There are forty boys in all.Most of them were, about of my age. School had not begun yet. So the room was noisy. No sooner had I taken my seat than a number of boys gathered around me. They were making enquiries about me. I was a little bit nervous at first. Gradually I began to feel quite at ease. One of them liked me to sit beside him. Later we became first friend,  and this friendship has lasted up to this day of our school life.

Soon after the bell rang and a teacher entered the class. We all stod up and saluted him. He accepted the salute with a sweet smile and told us to sit down. As his eyes fell on me, he came to me and asked my name. By his gentle tone  I felt  at ease and answered his queations freely and modestly. Hevthen took up the days lesson. He taught us English. His good methodical teaching impressed me. There were some other teacher who also took their classes impressively.

During their leisure period I saw all students going to the mosque which is adjacent to the school building. I also went with them and said my prayers. After the performance of our prayers we took our tiffin. There were two periods of class work after that. My exprience during thia time was almost the same as during the early hours.

I think I was able to win the love of my teachers and classmates. When the classes came to an end, I returned home. I expressed my feelings and experience to my parents. The discipline of the school impressed me most.
