The story <First Day Jitters> is written by Judy Danberg, it talks about a girl named Sarah who does not want to go to school because it’s a new school.

Sarah hides in the car, the principal says that everyone is nervous on the first day of school. Sarah gets to the classroom and she turns out to be the new teacher instead of a new student. We mostly assume that teachers enjoy school and are happy going to a new school, but actually some teachers will also experience nervousness. There are many new students to deal with so sometimes teachers are nervous, however, they just hide nervousness and pretend to be confident. In the story, Sarah's behavior made us think that she is a student because she doesn't want to get up to go to a new school and she makes lots of excuses. But she turns out to be the teacher. A teacher may surprise us with their actions, they can be nervous, but we don’t know about it . Teachers may be nervous seeing new kids and dealing with them. And some of the teachers are brave so they are not nervous at all. Everyone sometimes acts differently, feeling anxious or nervous in certain situations is normal. 


Going to a new school is challenging, people sometimes get nervous when going to a new school. Most of the people are scared that they will be made fun of. Some are scared that their classmates may be mean to them. But think of the positive way, Going To new school can help us learn different cultures about the countries the school is in. We can check out books at the library and we can meet new teachers. you can make new friends and  to play with them. You can learn about things that you might not have learned before. In the story, Sarah is nervous about meeting  all the different children. Going to a new school may be a little challenge, but many people will overcome it  just like Sarah. Going to a new school may be hard, but we will be okay. Don’t be nervous to go to the new school and we should experience more.  


Trying new things is a kind of benefit for us because we can open our minds and spark creativity. We can find what we can really do by trying a new thing. When we open our mind, we may change and we can also get something special or can get more fresh inspiration. In the story, Sarah the teacher went to a new school and she was nervous at first, but at school she became very confident. When we do something new, we may find it difficult at first, but at the end it will be easy and may become our hobby. You are never too old to try new things, you can experience new food, activities and more. When we try something new, it always leads us to something we unexpected.

When she is being forced to go to school, she turns down to be the new teacher instead of the new student. This story tells us that people have their own feelings and different acts are not a problem. Going to a new school is challenging, we can meet many problems, but there are still a lot of terrific things you can do in a new school.
