I remember my first day of school. (Aku ingat hari pertamu di sekolah)

I was excited, but I was afraid. (Aku sangat senang, tapi aku takut)

I held my mother's hand as we walked to the school. (Aku memegangi tangan mamaku saat kami melangkah ke sekolah)

When we got near the school, I wouldn't let her hold my hand anymore. (Ketika kami sampai dekat sekolah, aku tidak akan membiarkannya memegang tanganku lagi)

I didn't want to look like a baby. (Aku tidak ingin terlihat seperti bocah)

We got to the school. (Kami sampai di sekolah)

The school looked very big and frightening. (Sekolah itu nampak sangat besar dan menakutkan)

There were children outside on the playground. (Ada banyak anak-anak di luar di taman bermain)

I looked at them, and some of them looked at me. (Aku melihat mereka, dan beberapa dari mereka menatapku)

My mother and I went into the school and found the kindergarten room. (Ibuku dan aku pergi masuk ke sekolah dan sampai ke kelas TK)

There were children in there. (Ada banyak anak-anak di sana)

My mother spoke to the kindergarten teacher. (Ibuku berbicara dengan guru TK itu)

The teacher was very nice. (Guru tersebut sangat ramah)

She said my name, and she introduced me to some of the other children. (Beliau mengucapkan namaku, dan beliau memperkenalkanku pada beberapa anak-anak lainnya)

I began to play with some of the things that were in the classroom. (Aku mulai bermain dengan beberapa benda yang ada di dalam kelas)
