Living with CP: the early years part 33.

Hello everyone.  Today I'm going to talk about when I left Gorman school for the first time and went to a new school. 

Keep in mind I went to Gorman school for the first seven years of my school life, so when that day finally came when I had to go to a new school how do you think I felt?  Whenever I have a big change in my life I get nervous.  It also takes me some time to adjust to everything. 

The first day at Meadowdale Elementary school I was very nervous. I did not want to go at all  because I did not know any teachers or kids. At my old school I knew how everything worked.  When I  got there that first day no one met me at the bus. When I went in the front door someone asked my name and then they took me to my homeroom. 

This school was different because it was a normal school, but it had handicap classrooms.  In each classrooms there was a teacher and an aide. They only had 2 handicap classes in the entire school.  There were people with all kinds of disabilities and when we went to certain classes like music class, it was not specifically for handicapped students, but for everyone. 

That was hard for me because the music teacher had a loud booming voice and he liked to yell when the kids did not listen.  When I went to that class for the first time I lasted about 5 minutes because of my sensitive hearing and I had to leave because I started to cry.  The teacher could not help it.  That’s just how he was.  Soon, I got used to everything by just taking one day at a time. 

Have a great day everyone.
