Possible version
Monday 1 September
My first day at senior high was impressive. Before going to school, I woke up so early to get everything ready and was in my great eagerness to embrace my new life at senior high. When arriving at school, there were many volunteers helping to move luggage, which made me feel very warm. In the evening, I arrived at the classroom on time, where I met my former teacher. She welcomed us with a big smile and told us that you might meet with different challenges later, but just keep calm and be prepared to defeat them. Also, she generously said we could feel free to ask him for help when necessary. Hearing this, I felt inspired and confident about my new school life at senior high.
