Bill I still remember my first day at school. It was the 1st of September 2004. I woke up very early. After breakfast I put on my school uniform and took my schoolbag. I went to school with my mother and sister. On our way my mother bought some beautiful flowers for my teacher. I was so happy. After the first bell rang, our teacher invited us to the class. When we took our seats, the teacher asked us to take the exercise books and pens from our schoolbags. So my childhood changed to a new, serious life.

Lara I didn't like my first day at school so I cried all day. I wasn't happy there because I wanted to be with my family. In the morning break we drank milk. I hated it. For lunch we ate porridge and it was horrible. I sat next to Tina. We were together all the time. We left school when we were sixteen. She is still my best friend and we speak on the phone every day.

Paul I lived in the village so I went to a village school. It was very small. It was a school with twenty children in it. I was with my sister in the same class. All the children from six to ten studied together. We had one teacher and we all loved her very much. She was very kind. We spent a lot of time outside. We played football and different kinds of games every day. I always remember my first school.
