First day of school isn’t always perfect

School starts next week. Even being optimistic, things do not always go smoothly. I asked kids in my school what could possibly go wrong for you the first day. Some of these things have happened to them. Be careful! It could happen to you:
n Walking into the wrong class.
n Going into the wrong bathroom.
n Being the only one of your gender in the class.
n Being asked a question and not having the answer.
n Getting to class late.
n Calling your teacher Mom (or Dad)!
n Dropping all your books in the hallway and it is really crowded and no one moves for you!
n Thinking someone is waving at you but is actually waving at someone else.
