My first month at Hasseris Gymnasium

When the first day of school came closer, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was very nervous, all the new faces and places. What should I wear and whom should I talk to? Would people even like me?

The first day was nerve wracking, but I thought to my self, that this feeling of insecurity is what all the other new students must have felt too. Which made me feel a bit more comfortable; I wasn’t the only one who was new. My oldest sister also studied here a couple of years ago, and she has of course told me a lot of things about the school in general, but also about the teachers and the students. She has told me nothing but good things about the teachers and the school. There was only one thing I was a bit afraid of. When she studied here, she felt very different. Not that different – in my opinion – is a bad thing, but sometimes it can be difficult to be different than everyone else.

The average student that goes here comes from wealthy families. And from what my sister has told me, people with a lot of money can be a bit snobbish. But my prejudices were wrong.
