My first day at school
My name’s Betty Stewart and I’m an English teacher. I was twenty-two years old when I got my first teaching job. I remember my first day very well!
The day didn’t start well. I got up early and got dressed. Then I dropped my cereal all over my new skirt. I quickly put on clean clothes. I picked up my bag and went to the bus stop. I saw a lot of people waiting for the bus. I asked a woman, “Why are there so many people?” She said “There’s a lot of traffic in the city centre and all the buses are late.” So, I decided to walk to school.
I only had half an hour before my first lesson. I walked very quickly. After some time I could see the school at the end of the road. I felt very happy. Suddenly it started to rain. I ran fast but I was very wet when I arrived at school. When I got to my classroom I was five minutes late and I looked wet and horrible. At first, my new students looked surprised when they saw me. Then they all smiled and said, “Good morning Miss Stewart!” I smiled back and said “Good morning class!” After that, the day got much better.
