New horizons …
Standing in front of my new school, I trembled. No more familiar faces in every class and no more staying in the same class all day long. This was a new chapter; I was looking at a view that will be my every day sight for as long as I can think.
I slowly walked into a giant looking building full of running teenagers, barging their way through the crowds. I went up a few more floors and entered my new form class. Friendly faces looked at me and the teacher seated me down. This was it. I was ready.
I felt like a cowboy, galloping his horse towards the sun, towards the new horizon. It was time to move on and I wasn’t ready. Even the very thought of moving to secondary made me shiver. It was a big school, huge in fact, and it made me wonder wether I would ever find my way around. All the big girls said it was easy, but being a dwarf made it harder to see the signs and I always worried about bullying. But the nerves often were overpowered by excitement as my best friend and I were in the same form and she protect me, she always did, everyone admired here wherever she went, and she was my best friend. I felt like a cowboy, galloping his horse towards the sun, towards the new horizon.
Moving school. Leaving friends. Leaving teaches. This is all I can think on the leavers day. I just can’t believe that this is going to be my last ever day in Eleanor Palmer. Of course I will visit, but this is my last proper day. As Miss Frood says her last speech and year 6 do our last dance. I know that even though I’m nervous for secondary school, I’m ready. We finished our song all flooding with tears and that’s it. Goodbye Eleanor Palmer and hello Camden School for Girls. This is a new beginning, a very new future.
New horizons we all have them one day standing in front of a new obstacle or challenge from your first school or secondary. You have to have a challenge someday to grow from kid to adult you need to fight in some way no Matter how nervous you are is you’re shaking in your shoes or striding with confidence you need to go through it even when you are an adult and you want to get a job it may be hard but try your best and you will probably make it
