The first day is always the hardest. You go from being the leaders of the school‚ to the babies of the school. It was the first day and everybody was full of both excitement and fear.

My first day was with Linda and it very slow with only one X-Ray patient. I did not mind to much due to the fact I was sick with the flu and later went home due to it. The next day I was with Marge because Linda was sick with the flu‚ incidentally. We saw many patients thus I learned a lot about the X-Ray system and how to position patients

I changed my mind about running the day my father made me run my first race. It was a hot summer day‚ and I was inside watching television with my siblings when my dad asked us if we all wanted to run a race with him. At first‚ I wasn’t too sure about it even though he said it was only a one mile race. But‚ in school‚ we already had to run a mile in gym‚ and I wasn’t very good.

My First Camping Trip We reached Buffalo Cave after about half an hour on the bus along a quiet country road. The camping ground was a clearing about 200 metres along the cave.
