The School Day 

Even though it is January, today is my first day of school. I checked my schedule multiple times to make sure I was in the right classroom. Last night I packed my backpack with all the materials I would need for class. I begin to wonder about my assignments. Then I started to worry that the assignments may be to hard for me. Before my mind could worry anymore, I stop and remember that I can always look towards my classmates for help. I am excited about this semester.
