English Descriptive Essay: First day of school
12 September, 2013

My first day of school started out like any other day. It was dull, slow, and early in the morning. I wake up to a mixture of both my alarm ringing louder than band horns and my mother yelling at me to get up. The first thing I do is put some music on. While I jam to the speaker playing, Im pulling out clothes and making outfits to wear. After about fifteen minutes I finally find one. I put my clothes on and as usually I fool around either picking a song or on my phone sending daily early morning text messages or making early morning phone calls. Its 7:03 and I have to be out the door, so I run downstairs and grab the best pop tarts ever; Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, now I am finally out the door and walking to the end of my street waiting on my bus. It is about 7:06 and I finally see the bus coming down the hill. It rolls up in front of me and as the door opens I already smell the mugginess of the bus. I take a seat in the front of the bus so I can get off when we get to school. The bus starts to pull off and I finally realize that my senior year of high school has started. The bus pulls up to school and I hop off the bus. I brush my pant legs off and check myself before I enter the building. I say to myself, “You look nice Malik”. I smirk a bit and then go into the double set of doors. I see old faces and some new faces. I go straight to my homeroom and immediately I am directed to the auditorium. I have never been to the auditorium so I get lost quick. But soon I am told and directed into the right direction. I find some friends I know and sit by them. I sit for fifteen minutes and am told that all seniors are supposed to be outside for a senior meeting. So I quickly get outside to find out what this meeting is about. After the meeting is over, all the students are told to return to their homerooms. I enter my homeroom and quickly look for a seat. I look around and notice I have a variety of people in my homeroom. I see some people who I kind of know and some I didn’t even know existed. I am sitting in one of the seats and notice that their assigned according to alphabetical order. So I look for my seat, I find it and then sit down. I receive a bunch of papers and look through them, none of which interest me or concern me at this moment, so I shove them in my book bag until told otherwise. As I sit quietly in my seat, the teacher introduces herself and starts making some announcements. I am zoned out due to my music and being on my phone. Suddenly she taps me and tell me to unplug myself and listen to what she says. I apologize for having my music on and being on my phone and then she continues to make her announcements. As of now I have been sitting there for about 5 minutes. I am wondering when the first period bell is going to ring. Soon I see people lining up by the door and the bell rings and students proceed to exit the classroom. I realize that school has officially started and that this year will be both long and stressful at times but can also be a year to remember.
