Early days- day 1

I remembered feeling excited a week before school, all because i was able to choose my own stationery and school bag despite not having too much choice in what to wear to school. hahahahahaha.....still was fun. The stationary shopping was great where i had to ride seating behind my dad's bicycle. My dad had to ride the bicycle for a good one hour before reaching town. My mom and younger brother had to stay home.  
My dad was an officer with the Department of Education and was recently assigned to a place that we need planes as a mode of transportation from our hometown.
We spent a good two hours to get almost everything that i need for school...shoes, socks, underwear, singlet, school uniforms, pencils, ruler, eraser, school bag and some exercise books.
Early in the morning of my school day,my dad took leave from his work just to 'walk' me to school ( it was less than two kilometers away from home). Everything on me was new even my underwear...as the saying goes...a new chapter in life so might as well use everything new except that my physical self was seven years old ( young for homo sapiens)
after dressing up for school, there was breakfast where my mom prepared porridge and fried eggs for us. 
it took us about 20 minutes relaxing walk to the school, dad was smiling while i was feeling super excited. 
At the school,dad did all the necessary registration and at about 930am- everything was done. Dad told me to just follow the instruction given and he would be waiting for me when school ends at 1230pm on the same day. I followed dad making his way out of the school compound, and we bumped into the school's headmaster and we were introduced and was told that his son (headmaster's) will be in the same class as me. 
At 930am, the whole school was summon to the assembly area ( was to be a routine every Monday of school week that we will be assembling on that ground from then on)
The headmaster made his welcoming speech for the new school year then we were made to sing the state and national anthem. Could not recall the content of the speech as i was busy looking around while standing in line among the first year students.
We were made to proceed to our class led by third year student prefect to our assigned class. upon reaching the classroom we had to find our own seats in the classroom styled arrangement. My seat was at the middle of the class. We were told to seat and stay quiet until our class teacher comes in.
