At School

I know that growing up means RESPONSIBILITY ! Now, I am facing another dimension in life wherein learning, development and socialization are the stages that I will undergo as a growing child. It is true that we learn first at home and that entering into a real school help us to have more formation.


My first day went okey. Since my Papa was on his RTT (Réduction du Temps de Travail) he went with Maman going to our first day of school. I can tell you that my Kuya Basti was so happy to have seen his friends again. As for myself, I was a little bit anxious because I have seen a lot of children crying. I was thinking that there is something strange! Why do they cry? Was then affected by it. I did not cry but was nearly in tears ! Quietly keeping what I have inside! If only I have the magic to change everything I would. Like staying to be a baby then I would not endure such stage. But life should move on and I should grow up !


After a week of schooling I could say that it was not easy to be separated from my Maman. I was used to be with her 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I just miss her so much that when she picks us up from school for lunch I am really happy to see her ! During my first week at school I stayed the whole afternoon. Maman normally picks us up before 11:30AM and should be back before 1:30PM but I don't have the time to take a nap in between hours. Arriving at school the room for the little section (petite section) is already close because my colleagues are already taking their afternoon nap. It is not possible for me to enter the room so as to avoid disturbing them while sleeping. Then, I found myself playing with the big ones like the age of my Kuya Basti average and big sections etc. (moyenne & grande sections). After playtime, I am dead tired ! That's why Maman was advised by the teacher that I should only stay in the morning because I am still young and it happened twice that I slept on my chair while the class is going on ! Shame on me :( ! Can you imagine that I am the only little girl who plays with the big ones while my classmates are taking their siesta ! So in this case, I go to school every morning only and I stay with Maman at home after bringing back my Kuya Basti at school by 1:30 PM and stays the whole afternoon ! I am happy to have found my bed for a little nap ! By 4:15 I am accompanying my Maman at school in picking up my brother at 4:30 PM ! This is my new life ! Challenging yet exciting ! Until then friends..........
