The first day of school is always the most difficult but then this time it was the first day of school.....in another country! It was very nerveracking and i was quite nervous. But then, the headmaster of walls Mr.Trogish urged the students on to come and meet us and we started talking. Ironically, the student who first came up to me, ended up being my permanent buddy or host in other words. Class was very fun and every student was keen on meeting us.
