My First Day at School

In 1993 I was six years old. I can remember a very important event that happened then. That was my experience about my first day at school. On that day my father took me to Kalachandpur High School situated on our village. He took me to the headmaster’s room. My heart beat fast. But his smiling face and gentle words put me at ease. He asked me my name and I told him my name. Then he pointed to a letter chart and asked me to say some letters. I could say them all. The headmaster then called a teacher and told him to take me to my class. He welcomed me and gave me a seat in the class room. My classmates received me warmly. I felt very happy.
