i was a crying toddler way back before. i wouldn't allow my parents to be out of my sight.i also transferred two times just to look for a teacher that i liked. i cried when i don't like how my teacher looked like. i was really a pain in the neck before.i don't also like to eat my snacks.that made me look so skinny and seemed like a walking stick.how about you?

I could no remember what my first day of school looked like, I was only 3 to 4 years old then, all I could remember was when I was 5 or six and I was in preparatory school. my mom left me at school, I didn't cry but I was kinda worried because I didn't see my mom after our first day of class.

that was my reaction too when i didn't see my dad after classes. i roamed around the campus and cried in a corner when i still didn't see him.we're not allowed to go out when there's no one who will fetch us.

my sister was just like you. when she cried, we find difficulty in stopping her. she threw things too and got spanked by mom whenever she did that.

When i was five years old,I began to go to school, but only after two days I never wanted to go to, because i didn't know what to do,perhaps i was too young.Then the second time i went to school was the age of 7, i feeled happy to play with others.That was a good time for me! I will rember in my all life.

there was also another thing that i remembered during my first week in school. after a week i don't want my dad to fetch me in school immediately. i already enjoyed the company of my classmates and schoolmates. i got angry when dad fetched me earlier.

I know I cried the first day of kindergarten. I cannot believe that I remember that, as I am middle-aged now, but I do. I remember hiding in the bathrooms. I think it was because in my first few years I was not exposed to a lot of other children, not preschool or lots of cousins or brothers and sisters like some kids have. When I was 5, my brother was 4 and my mom was just about to have her last child, my sister. I really just had my brother for those first few years. I was very sheltered. Eventually I remember having good memories of that first year in school, especially going to the art room for fingerpainting, etc. and the other room for naps and playing in a play kitchen. It is a good thing when we get older that we can understand the reasons for our apprehension about the first day of school and not have to be scarred all our lives with a bad memory.

I always remember this experience. Why??..because I did mistake. I said my nick name is Putri. In home, I was called Dhila. I didn't said Dhila cause I feared my friend hear Gila. In English, Gila have mean crazy. Haha..it's a child's think. So, I had been said Putri by my friend.

I remember that the first day I go to school in the states. I was so nervous, and I don't speak a word of English. I have no idea what class I should go to, or what the teachers told me all about in classes. I just sat there doing nothing, and watching people doing their stuff.

I had been very frightened for the first day of my school when I knew that about more than three hours of the day I had to be there without my parents. It was a very horrible experience at the beginning as when we entered the classroom, the teachers closed the doors and locked us for about one hour in which every children was shouting to let go. I was totally shocked about what will happen now, how to get outta here? Then after sometime the teachers came and opened the door and I had a sigh of relief. I don't remember much after that. But by the end of the day, I had made a best friend of mine. Even we used to sit together in the schoolbus on our way to home. But just halfway in the first year only, he just left the school and I didn't really got his contact then. But I truly remember him as my first best friend in my childhood days! This was about my memorable experience!!

i remember that i didn't cried during the first time i entered the classroom when i was in first grade, i just stand and always look for my mother, my mother just stood at the back of the classroom and then later on i liked our teacher and i've got to meet friends that is why i haven't experience crying during our first grade , but when i turn grade three, i cried the first day of the class, i'm scared with how our teacher looks, she seems so strict and i'm afraid with her the first time i enter her room, that is why, i cried all the time until my mother transferred me to another class.

I cried like crazy the first day of school. It got worse for the first week, since 1 of our teachers was really strict and she used to scold and beat the children. :( Then I used to cry so hard and tell my parents I would never go to school, unless they stayed with me. Finally my mom had to talk to the teacher about my fears, and I got special treatment from then on.lol. Till I passed that grade that is. I know I know, I was a spoilt little nervous brat :)

I think I have forgotten it already but I guess we have the same feeling on your first day at school.

My very first time at school, I didn't attend at all. Someone took my seat and since I really didn't know anyone or didn't know how to handle the situation, I simply didn't attend class. I didn't go home right away though, I simply spent the whole school day at the campus. (^_^")
