When winter ends, it means it's time to go back to school. I feel excited because I get to see my friends and teachers. The anticipation of meeting everyone again makes me feel a mixture of joy and nervousness. It is a special time, as I have new lessons to learn and new experiences to gain. Excited, I start thinking about what I will wear and how I will prepare for my first day.

On the day before the first day, I visit my school with my mom and dad. We walk around and see my classroom and the playground. I notice small changes that happened over the winter and feel happy to see familiar places. Visit, this time with my parents, makes me feel secure and ready for the next day.

My mom and dad ask me if I have any concerns about the new term. I think about my studies and friends, but I feel confident. I tell them I'm ready for the new term. Concerns, though natural, do not overwhelm me, and I am excited for all the activities and learning ahead. The day promises new adventures and memories.
