I was walking into my first school in America with fear. I had travelled a long distance from India in order to 1 my parents who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future.
I was afraid 2 I would do everything alone. I didn't know3here! On the first day, I went to my4 period class after I had missed my first. With fear, I 5 the door knob (把手), opening it slowly. Everyone's 6 were on me as I entered the room. 7 paying attention to them, I went to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. His soft "yes" made me a little8. He gave me a piece of paper called Course Requirements. To my 9, he then asked me to choose the seat by myself. You know, in India we needn't do that. Since it was my first day, it was 10 for me to find the right directions, but I managed to get to my classes on my own. At the end of the day, I was 11 the way to the school bus which we didn't have in India either. I found my bus and sat down 12 thinking today wasn't so bad.
As time passed, I13some friendships and started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things easy, 14 the teachers in my home country had a more strict way. We also had much 15 school days in India 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is the amount I learned each day. Because of the great education here, I feel I am the luckiest person in the whole world.
