After I had pictured my first day at senior high over and over again my mind, the day finally arrived. I was eager （know）my new school.
I （look）at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. （turn） around, I saw a white-haired man. When my English teacher walked into the classroom, I realized he was the man talked with me earlier. The teacher asked us to introduce （we） to the class, but I didn't know how to start my introduction. I （take）a deep breath and said,"Hi, I'm Meng Hao."It was at that moment that I found I shared same name with my teacher. I felt a little embarrassed, but the teacher's words made me （relax)!
Just as Mr Meng said, senior high school life isn't easy, but we have to face it (brave). We should keep calm and be prepared. Only in this way can we make the most of our time at senior high.
People say，"Well begun,half done."I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.

I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade. At that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class, she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation: After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to go all out because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after start school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade，she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade，she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day，our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her，"Why did you stop talking to me？"
"You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you.You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder,"she said. I could not say anything,but I smiled. I'll always thank her.
