Starting first grade is one of my first, and best, memories. It was not just one day that made this a great experience; it was the entire week leading up to it. I got to do all kinds of things to get ready. My mom bought me new clothes and new shoes. I even got to go get my nails done! It was my special week. My Neighbor, who is also my best friend, went shopping with me for our new outfits. We were the best of friends and always wanted to do everything together, even match our clothes. My mom took us to the mall and we picked out matching dresses. They were baby blue with white polka dots.
We even got new white shoes to match! We definitely thought we were going to be the coolest first graders in town. Now that we had our cute clothes, it was time to get our nails done. My mom, and my best friend Kristen’s mom, brought us to this huge nail salon. We knew we were the only first graders that got to get their nails painted at a real big girl salon. When we walked in the lady brought us to a big wall full of every color in the world, and told us to pick one. As always, Kristen and I agreed on the same color. It was a sparkly baby blue, and after the ladies painted our nails, they even added white polka dots!
We were all set to go to school with our pretty dresses and matching nails. The night before school started I could not sleep. No matter how hard I tried I was just too excited. After lying in bed forever thinking about how cool my new school was going to be, I finally fell asleep. In the morning, my dad came in my room and started tickling me to wake me up. He said “Good morning baby girl. ” I was sure to correct him right away. I was starting my BIG kid school today; I’m not a baby girl anymore. He just laughed and told me he had a surprise for me. We walked into the kitchen and he had made my favorite breakfast, Chocolate chip pancakes.

I don’t think that day could have got any better. As soon as I was done eating I went and put my new dress on and almost walked out the door with out my new shoes. Once I was dressed and my mom had curled my hair, we went out side to meet Kristen and her mom. When Kristen saw me, I think she was jealous I had curled hair and she didn’t. But she was too excited, just like me, to even care. We got to school and there were so many kids. They were playing all sorts of cool games and running around laughing and playing. Kristen and I could not wait to go join.
Before we were even through the big gates to get into the school we had given our moms a big kiss and ran off to start our day. After playing with all the other kids, a bell rang and we lined up in front of our class room. We waited a couple minutes and then our teacher came out and we followed her back into our new class room. Kristen’s Desk was right next to mine, and we got to share all of the new supplies the teacher had left on the desks for us! There was even a folder on my desk with my name on it, to keep all my work in. I was so glad Kristen was in my class, and even sat next to me! First grade was the coolest thing ever.
