I expected my first day of senior high school to be anxious. I first went to the gym for the school meeting that was crowded with students and teachers. I felt anxious because I didn't know anybody. I sat down and met a new friend, Nick. We exchanged greetings and watched the cheerleaders(啦啦队队员) perform. I started to like high school because I had never seen such a wonderful performance before.

Nick and I walked out of the gym to our first class of high school. My first class was Mr. Malouf's history class. I walked with Nick through the hallways(走廊), looked for a teacher and asked, “Where is Mr. Malouf's class?” The teacher, who we later knew was Mr. Charles, showed us the direction. When we met Mr. Malouf, he was of medium height with brown hair. We could tell from his introduction that he knew how everyone in the class felt—anxious. We felt less awkward after Mr. Malouf said, “OK, I know that this is your first day of high school, and I want this to be a good first class of your high school because this is also my first class!” My next class was Mr. Kelly's biology class. When we sat down, he introduced himself and hoped that he would be the most excellent teacher that we would have at school. He called me Mayfield and I felt that he needed to practise my name more. He was the first teacher to put us to work on my very first school day. This upset me greatly because usually there was not much homework on the first day.

After school, I was taken home by my mom. When I got home, I thanked God for such a wonderful day. I had imagined my first day would be like the one in the movie. The first day of high school in the movie is that a teenager is left alone and he or she sits by himself or herself at lunch.

When I was a senior high school student, mathematics looked like a big barrier(障碍)for me and several of my classmates. Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher, was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, and pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not forget any of his homework.

Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us couldn't sit still and seemed anxious one day as the mid⁃term exams were coming, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There's too much to do,” we sighed. “We're frightened that we'll never manage to finish revising before the exam.” “Nothing is impossible,” Mr Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have problems reaching here?” We replied with blank stares(面无表情的凝视).

“No, you don't!” he said, answering his own question. “You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps(大跨步). You simply take one step at a time. Any problem can be solved if you concentrate on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself if you keep at it. One step at a time. That's the secret.” Then he wrote down an old motto that left a deep impression on me on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟), we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
