My First Day of High School The beeping of my alarm clock sounded like a countdown. The first day of high school was only two hours away. I was excited‚ but a lot more nervous. I got out of bed‚ got ready‚ and then was on my way to the bus stop. All I could think of are the stories I heard about high school being so horrible with all the strict teachers‚ the really hard tests‚ and of course being a freshman doesn’t help either.
