Possible version:
On my first day of senior high school, I wasn’t that anxious because I was outgoing and nearly half of my old classmates were there too. However, I was a little stressed as the lessons were much more difficult and falling behind the others would be an awkward thing. So I concentrated on all the classes even though sometimes they were difficult. Luckily, I made a good impression on my classmates and teachers because of my excellent performance.
