My First Time at School

I remember when I first started school.  It was okay because I was shy and afraid.  I didn’t have any friends or anyone to play with.  I went to lunch, I saw my cousin.  He spoke I spoke back.  I went by him he said you can’t come to my class with me.  I said I know that I just came over to speak.  I went to my class and he went to his class.  The school was big.  It has four floors, a lot of stairs, big classrooms and a huge lunch room where you get to pick your own lunch.  I was in kindergarten.  Finally I met friends and I had plenty of people to play with.  I wasn’t bored.  I miss that school.  It was the best school out of two.  It has a park across the street called Douglas and a playground in the back and you could also go to the park or the playground at recess time.  I love that school Pope Panthers are the best.  That’s something I’ll never forget.
