开学第一天，本文中的主人公把一天的所见所闻都记录了下来。

1 I knew that my first day of high school would be challenging. There would be higher expectations than middle school and the teachers would be stricter. I missed my classmates a lot， hoping this year would be a good year.

2 On Monday， I was preparing for my first day of high school. My backpack was filled with materials I needed， such as pencils， notebooks and a binder （活页夹）. I walked into the school feeling nervous. Even though I had walked through school doors every day in middle school， this felt different.

3 As I walked into the school， I saw a lot of people going to the gym， so I went as well. And I knew that my first class was math from the curriculum schedule（课程表） on the door. My math teacher was actually very nice， and I liked her from the start. Then came the next three classes， which made me feel it was not so difficult to study in high school.

4 When I finally got to meet my friends at lunch， it felt like we were reuniting. I felt happy that I wasn？蒺t alone. We started to talk about what we had done over the summer and how classes were today. After lunch， I had a biology class. In this class， my friend from middle school walked in and sat next to me. It made me feel good to know that I knew someone in this class. My biology teacher gave us a little advice about high school—stay organized and focused.

5 I knew this year was going to be a different year. Realizing that I was growing up to be an adult， I had a couple of goals. Clearly， the first day of high school was good. I was happy with most of my teachers， classmates and classes. I felt I was already heading towards a successful future.
