My first day at School (Common)

My first day at school was the beginning of my life. The day was an important one for me and my family. My father had been looking forward to this day with great hope. And they made almost a ritual of it.
Early that morning there was much stir in the family. My elder brother particularly happy. That made him look responsible as I was in a way to be under his charge. My father bought candies and we started for school.
I was taken to the Principal’s office. The Principal was a big man with heavey, and bushy eyebrows. I almost dreaded him at the first instance. But soon I found that under those bushy eyebrows he had one of the softest pair of eyes. And he spoke softly. This reassured me and I answered his questions without any felling of fear. He talked to my father. Then my father took me to another gentleman who I learnt later was my class teacher.
He was tall, lean and bespectacled. He greeted my father. He stretched his long arm and took me within its fold. He talked sweetly to me. My father gave him the bag of sweets and requested him to introduce me to the class and distribute the candies among my classmates. My father then took leave of him.
My teacher took me to my class. He told the boys that I was their new class-mate. He, then distributed the candies my father had given to him.
I was given a seat in the class. It was a new place and soon I started feeling lonely. No body in the class was known to me and no one talked to me. By recess time I was almost fed up with my school. I wanted to go home. The bell rang for recess. The boys from all the classes ran out. They flooded the school courtyard. But I stood alone in the crowd of strangers. I remember still how small I was then. Being unable to bear it any longer I began to cry. It was only a few minutes but it seemed ages before my brother came. With him was another boy whose brother was in my class. He brought him and introduced him to me. This was my first acquaintance in school. After the recess we re-entered the classroom.
My teacher was told how I had cried during the recess. He spoke sweetly to me. I liked him. I liked my new acquaintance also. Soon I felt calm and since that day it has been becomings still easier for me everyday.
