First Sentences: The High School Exercise

What was high school like for you? What was that first day like? It's time for a creative essay: you may choose to do it in fiction form, or you can make this your confessional. In any case, you need your pen and paper (or keyboard, monitor, CPU, and some disk space) - and you need this to be your first sentence:

"It was my first day in high school."

It's that simple! You can make the essay as long or as short as you would like it to be. Don't forget to post your work in the comments section, or post a link to your work if it's too long. Happy Writing!
