My First Day of School
I was afraid when I was walking into my first school in America. I has traveled a long way from India in order to join my parents. They hoped America would help my future.
On the first day, with fear, I reached for the door. Opening it slowly. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them. I went to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel better Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door in India we had assigned(指定) seats. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the PPT. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
Since it was my first day, I had no idea about which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. I wasn’t quite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside happily, I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.
As time passed that year, I developed some friendships and started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old could do them. In India the teachers had a more strict way of saying things. We also had much longer school days in India-7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.-while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is that 1 learned a lot each day. Because of these I feel I am the luckiest person in the whole world.

Kids Speak Up
In an online poll(投票) TIME FOR KIDS and Kids Health org asked kids how they are getting along with their parents. Here’s what they told us.
Getting Along and Having Fun
About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents. About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kinds reported arguing with their parents sometimes.
“It’s common to disagree and argue.” says D’Arcy Lyness, a child psychologist (心理學(xué)家)”But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully” About half of the kids said they are doing that when they disagree with their parents. They say they have a discussion calmly.
But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other. Lyness points out at shouting never helps “Speak up, and let your parents know your ideas.” She advises “But be patient. Don’t use a raised angry voice.”
Not surprisingly, three out of four kids admitted(承認(rèn)) to lying at times. Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It an actually get bad results. Telling the truth builds trust. “When parents can trust you, they are more likely to give you more freedom.” She says.
A Changing Relationship(關(guān)系)
Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close, and not getting along as well with their parents.
According to Lyness, those feelings are not uncommon As kids grow up they have more disagreements or arguments with their parents But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Kids and parents get along differently at different times of the journey of life” she says As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to adapt(適應(yīng)). “There’s a dance of ways that you cat with others and get along,” she points out. “Then other’s a change, and it’s a different dance.” Change is normal, she stresses.
