Dear People, Everyone had gone to school from our kindergarten to universities. Do you remember the first day of your school as a child? [b] Have you cried? [/b] In my experience I cried like anything that as if I was forced to sent to prison. Because my school was like that with closed doors and without spacious windows. But a nice English medium school. I remember that my dad was pushing me to the teacher and the teacher was pulling me to get me inside.. I can even smell that time when I cross my school. It was so childish and fun when I think it now... Do you have any similar kind of experience? Have you gone to school with a smiling face? Nowadays children are very different and they prefer to go to school than to stay at home... Share your experience.... Cheers... God Bless

I remember my first day in Kindergarten. I thought it was a new experience. I think my mother had told me thing which made me comfortable. At first most of the kids were quite but when they saw their mothers leaving they started to cry. Seeing one kid cry, another kid would also cry. Soon there majority of the kids were crying. I was thinking "why in the world are they crying". Then I thought should I also cry? But I did not.

I never cried but instead I feel afraid that my mom would left me, this happen in grade school. As a result i always glance at the window looking at my mother if she still at the place where she says would wait on me. I experience the same thing with you as I am a transferee from another schools I hardly know any classmates. I so shy that I would not go inside the room and keep on holding my mom skirts. But, eventually I was persuade to enter and later found a best friend with a seatmate..

No I didn't cry. My mother was around on the first day of school. sh's been very supportive to her every children she have, that had entered school. She stayed with me. I admit I was afraid, afraid of my teacher whom I remember not nice. Afraid of my classmate because some of them are naughty especially the boys. Afraid of the room because they were closing the door. After my first day my mother asked me if I had a good time and I answered it yes because she was around. She explained to me that she will be not around for tomorrow's class so she was wishing i will still be okay even if she's not there. I promised to her so that she will not be worry. I just done my promised that is mwy I did not cry. I was fighting with my emotions inside, my second day went fine.

I did cry during my first day of school since I was going to be away from my mother. The teacher literally had to drag me inside because I wouldn't leave my mother's side. Gradually, I got used to not always having my mother by my side so I stop crying but it was horrifying on the first day.

i don't remember my first day in school, i actually don't remember my first school.all that i know is because of the report cards and that sroties that mom has told me when i grew up. she says, i never cried while going to school. i used to happy when she used to dress me up for school. well, i have seen many children cry and resist going to school on the first day but soon they stop making all the fuss and start enjoying going to school.

Hi all I don't remember what happened on the first day at school but my mom always narrates what happened. My mom and dad came with me to school the first day and gave me my little book bag and my little lunch bag. I sweetly said bye to them and was wondering why other kids were crying, then my teacher took me inside. This is what happened in the first day of my school. :)

I do not remember my first day at school but my elder brother would always tell me that on the first day of school I hammered all the kids who were crying just because I was told that if I cried I would be beaten by the teacher!!! Both my kids did not cry on their first day at school. They seemed to be very happy to be away from their parents!!

I remember my very first day at school and I was scared and excited all at the same time. I was very brave and didn’t cry. My mum had been allowed to stay while I settled in and I did miss her after she left but I managed to get through the day without tears. My own little girl was vey good when I dropped her off at kindergarten for the first time. There were kids crying everywhere and I too was getting quite emotional at the prospect of leaving her but all she kept saying to me was, “You know you’ve got to go don’t you mum?” I didn’t know whether to feel proud or hurt!

I did remember crying on the very first day of school when I was really young. I thought school was this big prison where I would have to spend time away from my family. lol. But as I gotten older I became less afraid and didn't cry, I had gotten used to it.

I didn't cry, I remember I was very excited to start school. I had already had a trial afternoon which I loved so was not worried about going to school. i also remember being quite puzzled by the children who were crying and screaming as their mums tried to leave....

I never cried and I was very happy on my first day of school. The school was very near to my home. Maybe that's one of the reasons that I was not afraid or cried. Another reason I think was that I was so eager to learn new knowledge and make new friends.

My first day of school was the best. I was the one who made my seatmate cried. I dont like him to have his seat. I let him stand and deprive him of the his space. Since were just new to the school then I think he felt so embarassed thats why he cried.

i remembered i had loved attending school a lot i used to play with my four siblings and i felt that being in school was that fun. our school was big and was overpopulated so it is expected that i had lots of friends there too. i ever been to the preshool. i was readily in grade one for im already a reader when i went to school.my mom is teacher so that was an advantage for me. i can't remember i cried in school.i only remember all happy moments.

Even though I don't have a clear memory, when I went to school for the first time, unlike others with me, I didn't cry! but I cried on the second day onwards . I have a faint memory of what happened & sometimes its really interesting to think of my childhood. Happy Lotting

Dear Phillip, I do not have the opportunity to go to the kindergarten. I started in Primary one. I cried for 2 days about 15 minutes every morning when my mum left me there. How silly I am...now you really make me laugh at it I still remember when I sent my son to the kindergarten. He is so scared, you know what I did. I caught a housefly and put it in a plastic bag and let him bring to the class. I said the housefly will accompany him there....it did works! There is a fat boy in my son's class in the kindergarten. Every morning he will cry when his parents left him. He cries everyday for the whole year....fantastic!
