23. My first day of school was similar to Victor's first day. The first thing that was similar was the teachers. Victor's English teacher was boring because he only talked about grammar all day. My English teacher was also very boring because he only talked about his classroom rules. The second thing that was similar was how my friend has changed. Victor's friend, Michael Torres, was trying to be cool by acting like the people in the magazines. My friend, Jason, was trying to be cool by using stupid phrases like, "Wassup?" Victor's first day of school was very similar to my first day of school.
