"On my first day as a high-school exchange student in Arizona, my host family treated me to an extra-special American breakfast. As I ate, my host mom gave me some final pieces of good advice on how to behave and what to be aware of in my life as a new American student"

I was nervous for my first day as an American high school student. brand-new school, new friends, new teachers, and new context. I just came here in Arizona a few days ago, so I was new to everyone. As a entered the school bus, I got my heart pumping like nothing before. A lot of questions got around my head-which seat should I take? Did they have regular seat spots? Would they ask me something, bully me or just ignore me? I was nervous. I did not look at something specific. That scene repeated again and again. Just to be honest the first day of high school was evil. My mind was an emergency..."as the bus ride did not feel long enough, my day was not really started when I got lost at the school and could not make my first class in time. I arrived late. To describe my first day as a junior on the American high school I will use the word: I hate myself. I clearly remember when I got out of my second class, right before lunch from 11:40 to 12:20. I was starving my stomach out. My host family signed me up for free lunch every day, so I didn’t need a packed lunch from home. I left my class, walked down "the popular high school stairs" like you see in the movies and walked straight to lunch. I finally got my lunch after standing in a long line were people kept skipping me. I ran to the bathroom where I had my lunch. After to more classes I finally got out of school. It was not that bad; I just think I need to get used to it. Every single exchange year is different and the best advice I got from my main teachers was: Do not compare your exchange year! Every year is different. My first day of high school will have a special place in my heart. It was on my first day I met what ended up being my best friend. In our 7th class we had so much fun! It was a small class with such a nice teacher! A young teacher, who ended being one of my closest, and we often went out for dinner, and he would always pay for me. Some tryouts started. I signed up for football. I made so many friends during tryouts-I really recommend you sign op for school sports, it is the easiest way to make friends. The tryouts were both in the morning and evening, starting at 6pm to 8pm. We had an intense game on Friday, we won the game to some team called "The bulls" There were a good team, but not good enough to beat our team, we won the game 6-4. After the match me and the boys went to the locker room and got some good pizza. I really enjoy living here in Arizona, everyone is so amazing and nice to me. It was time to go home, and the bus was waiting for me and the boys.
