Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Going back to school can be exciting. The new year brings with it new classes, new teachers, new friends, and the chance for a fresh start. Plus, it’s fun to shop for a new backpack and other school supplies. Of course, it’s always sad to see the summer end. But there’s also a lot to look forward to in the new school year.

Summer just ended and today children start going back to school. With me, the first day back to school is always  kind of  fun and exciting. I remember the time I was taking some courses at Cyfair College, the first day of school was so much fun. Any students who entered school in the morning on that day would receive donuts, coffee , mugs with the College’s logo and T-shirts for free. Until now I still keep a few mugs and Cyfair T-shirts as my wonderful souvernirs.

Is not always happy for me to back to school.I love vacations,back to school means that vacations come to end,and from that day,I have to deal with my subjects as usual.But I still be glad to see friends I play with.So during the day,my state of mind is complex.

I never looked forward to going back to school and always wished the summer vacation would never end.
I guess it was also related to me being a bit of a loner and quite shy back then, same as Giulliana, so I didn’t have this motivation to go there to meet new people or have fun with my classmates.
So now I can recall many things I didn’t like about school (especially primary school, for example some of the rules like having to change my shoes or having to learn some texts by heart and then saying them in front of everybody even if I thought the text was really ridiculous, or just the atmosphere at school) but I don’t remember anything that I really liked. Of course this doesn’t change the fact that you have to learn things that are necessary later on in life so the school is a necessary part of life, whether you like the atmosphere at school or not.

when i go back in my schoo days, school supplies and backpack remind me of something memeorable about my days. i dreaded to go to school. for girls, outfit is very nervous item when they go to school. whenever we start new year, it could be a fresh start to begin something. it’s good i think.

but we can keep learning and knowing , teaching and learning shouldn’t be only restricted to schools and universities as people are here to know and learn things not only at schools but in the whole world and the whole life.

My feeling is different actually. If I had interesting summer, I don’t look forward to going back to school. But I alawys feel boring in the end of summer, so I like going back to school because I love that feeling like a fresh start. I was eager to start school, because I was used to the school with my sisters too. I loved to get my school supplies to, and arranging them, getting them ready. Even now, Im’ doing my master, I’m exciting to prepare myself for a first day like, fixing my hair, and planning out my outfits.
