This past week was my first week of high school. The first day many things were different but after two days passing everything started feeling "normal". Math class was actually the class I was most nervous about but after meeting my teacher he made each us feel welcomed and comfortable. In one week he taught us many valuable things. Since it was our first week of school we all didn't know each other. I didn't know many people except for one or two kids that were from my old school. When we got into class and got a sheet where we had to write everybody's name. I got very nervous because I didn't any names. Having to look around the whole classroom and seeing complete strangers was a moment where I was so tense. Staring at someone for a really long time, having to guess there name and moving on to the next person and having the same feeling was just so nerve wreaking. While my teacher, Mr. Ko went around the class room attempting to call us each by our name, we had to mark how many mistakes we made. I got many names incorrect, which I figured because I guess half of them. But when the next day came, we did the same activity and I was able to feel confident that I knew more than half of the classmates names. Being able look at someone and know there name was such a relief. I don't believe in the "gift" where you can know someones names without knowing them or meeting them. Getting something incorrect is apart of growing. Were not going to know anything so fast. In this case your not going to know somebody you don't know name, but after attempting and making mistakes you will grow. Like the learning process: Mistake. Learn. Grow.
