My First Day at University
My University is an educational institution which is widely recognized all over the world. It originated from Philippines and collaborates with PSBA (Philippine School of Business Administration). It has 2 branches in Jakarta which is located in Hayam Wuruk and the other one in Kelapa Gading. My University has been my first choice because I believe that it as the ability to provide me with quality education.
I got up early that morning due to an improper sleep during the previous night. It was due to the anxiety to start fresh with my new life. I was determined to be the best in whatever it is that I do, so that I would have something to be proud of in the pages of my life. Due to the fear of reaching late during my first day, I reached one hour earlier than necessary and decided to spend some time at KTC (Kelapa gading Trade Center) which is located right beside the University. I was hoping that time would move a lot faster because I wanted to find out about what was going to happen next. But it is a common fact that if we are anxiously waiting for something, time would seem to crawl a lot slower. When it was finally the time to head back to the campus, I hoped for everything to go on smoothly, just as how I expected it. I braced myself and went to meet Sofia, who was responsible for the new students, to inquire about my classroom. After being instructed on which room to go to, I started walking towards the class, the mixture of excitement and nervousness start to fill within me. I started to feel like standard 1 all over again where I was a little kid who didn’,t know where to go. I didn’,t know anyone in the class except for Diksha who is my childhood friend.
The unique thing about this campus is that each classroom is named after a quality. For example, the classroom names are Unity, Humanity, and Innovation and so on. Just like the classroom name, a confident teacher entered our classroom. Miss Caroline was our teacher for the day, she was going to be our economics teacher and she seemed to be a very competent one. She smartly introduced herself to us and then requested all of us to say a few things about ourselves. When it was my turn to introduce myself, I felt certain that I wanted to make a good impression on my first day. Some of my classmates who had introduced themselves before me seemed pretty confident and I hope I was as confident as them. We had 1 hour break in between the class and that is the time when I actually started to get to know some of my classmates. I feel delighted to make new friends at my first day. It is normally a tough thing to make friends as adults but everyone here seems to be very friendly and that was certainly something I was glad of. I had made a few very good friends and I hope that as time goes on, we can continue to have a strong everlasting bond.
My first day went as smoothly just as how I wanted it. I believe that choosing this University is one of the best decisions I have made in my life and I hope that this campus is up to my expectation.
