My First Day on the Campus
I still remember the day when I first came to the Senior High School.Being a boy of 16, I was longing for a new life as a senior high student, but at the same time, I had no idea what senior high school life would be like.
That morning when the bus carried me to the gate of the school, I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth.From then on, I would be a student of this school.After registration, we were led by an instructor to the dormitory, where, for the first time, we were going to live without parents but roommates.I was so clumsy (笨拙的) that I did not know how to make the bed.In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates.To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself.As we were walking along the road, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, “Oh, look at these new students！” It was our juniorschoolstudents' looking that gave us away.We continued our tour of the senior school, looking around every building and every garden until the sun began to set.
In the evening, we sat together, talking about the past and the future.We were so excited that no one wanted to go to bed.
