It’s time to sign up for school.
This year Natalie is going to Brock University.
She has never been to university before.
She is a little bit scared. She hopes she meets nice, new friends.
Natalie stood in line to get her picture taken.
The picture was put on a card.
The card was her picture ID (identification).
She would use this card if she needed to buy books from the school bookstore; if she wanted to get a book from the library; or if she wanted to use the pool!
After all of the signing up and money was paid, Natalie went out to lunch with her mother.
“Mom, I’m kind of scared about going to school.
I’m going to be the youngest kid there.
I don’t know how to take notes.
The teachers might be mean….”, Natalie rambled on.
Her mom just calmed her down and said, “Take one day at a time, Natalie.
Worry only about today.” “Hmmm. You’re right, Mom. Thanks!”
Natalie was very scared on the first day of school.
She made sure she had all of the books she needed and lots of pens, pencils and erasers.
She walked into the front of the building and went on her way to try and find her classroom.
Natalie got through her classes and met a lot of new people, nice people.
Her classes seemed to go by really fast, and the day went by even faster.
When Natalie got home she was so excited.
She told her mom that classes weren’t all that scary; the students and the teachers weren’t scary either!
Natalie knew that the school work would be hard, but she felt good about the people she had met that day.
She knew she’d have a good year.
Saatnya mendaftar sekolah. Tahun ini Natalie akan kuliah di Universitas Brock. Dia belum pernah kuliah sebelumnya. Dia sedikit takut. Dia berharap bertemu teman-teman baru yang baik. Natalie berdiri dalam antrean untuk difoto. Foto itu ditempelkan di kartu. Kartu itu adalah kartu identitas (ID) fotonya. Dia akan menggunakan kartu ini jika dia perlu membeli buku dari toko buku sekolah; jika dia ingin meminjam buku dari perpustakaan; atau jika dia ingin menggunakan kolam renang! Setelah semua pendaftaran selesai dan uang dibayarkan, Natalie pergi makan siang dengan ibunya. “Bu, aku agak takut masuk sekolah. Aku akan menjadi anak termuda di sana. Aku tidak tahu cara membuat catatan. Guru mungkin jahat…,” Natalie mengoceh. Ibunya hanya menenangkannya dan berkata, “Jalani satu hari pada satu waktu, Natalie. Khawatirkan hanya hari ini.” “Hmmm. Ibu benar, terima kasih!” Natalie sangat takut pada hari pertama sekolah. Dia memastikan dia memiliki semua buku yang dia butuhkan dan banyak pena, pensil, dan penghapus. Dia berjalan ke depan gedung dan melanjutkan perjalanannya untuk mencoba menemukan ruang kelasnya. Natalie berhasil melewati kelas-kelasnya dan bertemu banyak orang baru, orang-orang baik. Kelas-kelasnya terasa berlalu sangat cepat, dan hari itu berlalu lebih cepat lagi. Ketika Natalie tiba di rumah, dia sangat bersemangat. Dia memberi tahu ibunya bahwa kelas tidak seseram itu; siswa dan guru juga tidak menakutkan! Natalie tahu bahwa pekerjaan sekolah akan sulit, tetapi dia merasa senang dengan orang-orang yang dia temui hari itu. Dia tahu dia akan memiliki tahun yang baik.
