" LEX! TIME TO WAKE UP! " was the first thing I heard in the morning. Looked at the clock it was 6:50am. I was thinking why I had to wake up so early in the morning on a weekday, then I realized it was time for school! My heart started pounding since I totally forgot about it. I got up, rushed out of bed and went to go freshen up.
I checked my phone and I saw bunches of texts from my friends asking me what I'm wearing. " OMG! I don't even know what I'm gonna wear. " came out of my mouth. I was freaking out because I wasn't prepared for anything. I didn't have my things ready for me to go to school. I felt so out of place. Hello! Wake up call. Today is the day that I start becoming more responsible for my actions. No more " I'm lazy to do my work ", or slacking off.
I went to school, met up with my friend, Leah. We walked around the school to get used to where the buildings are. We stood by G building, just talking. I was so nervous to go to class. Wondering who I could talk to, who I could sit next to, and importantly who I knew. I love meeting new people, but I get so scared to talk to them. " What happens if they don't like me? " keeps popping up in my head when I talk to someone new.
School started, we had CAP first. I went in the class.. " Hi Josh! " was the first thing I said. I remembered him from my elementary days. He was an old friend. It was good seeing him again. It's a good thing that I sat next to him. We caught up with each other. As time went by, it was period 1, media class. I was so anxious to see who the teacher was. I went inside, sat down by Leah and looked around the room. I felt so shy seeing my new classmates. They seemed so scared. Ms. Nishite, I mean.. Mrs. Tomimbang walked in the room.. introduced herself and talked. Time went by again, period 2, Japanese. Sensei ( teacher ) seemed so nice! Well, she is. She looked like she was going to be a fun teacher. I liked my schedule for freshman year. Third period came and I had Mrs. Tomimbang again. I felt weird having her in two classes but I went along with it.
At the end of school, I felt relieved. I wasn't ready for school but I know I had to do good. In the morning, I would always, always, always encourage myself to do better during high school year. Having faith in myself was all I needed. Trusting myself was the most. " Today is the day I grow up, mature myself, and become a better person. "
