When I sit back and recall my first-day experience in a secondary school, I
often laugh at myself. I reached school early that day but was excited to see
new faces. Many parents accompanied their children whom looked smart in
their new uniforms. I was looked forward to seeing my former classmates but I
did not see any of them. All Form One students was told to go to the hall right
away. Later, all the form teachers took the students to his respective
classrooms. The teachers started to call out our name. When I did not hear my
name, I quick approached her. She went over the list again and informed me
that my name was not above it. That puzzled me since I was sure I had
registered my name. I was then told to checked with the office. I finally located
the office and meet the school clerk. I was told that I was not registered there.
Only then did I realise that in my excitement, I had went to the wrong school. On
arriving at the correct school, I told my friends what had happened and they had
a good laugh.
