RETURNING students are often excited to go back to school and see their old friends.
New students that come from another country or another school are sometimes nervous.
It's because they are not familiar with that school, but they will get used to it and will soon make new friends.
If you are going to a new school and you are feeling nervous, here's what you do:
- Take a deep breath and walk through the doors.
- Say hi to some students or wave or smile.
- Try to talking to them, ask them how they are.
- Ask them a few questions about the school so they know you're new.
- Try to be happy.
Throughout the year of school, new students will soon find friends to hang out with.
For returning students, they can start welcoming the new students and get to know them.
New students might make mistakes or get lost in their new school. Don't get frustrated! You must keep trying until you get used to it.
Don't be nervous, just relax! Victoria Mulja wrote this article while participating in Capilano University's Serious Fun summer camp, Teen Journalism.
