There was once this 9 – nine year from a different country, she didn’t know how to speak any English or understand what other kids or people surround her. It was her first day of school, at this big school that she never heard or seen of. As she entered the school she had a lot of things going through her mind, for example, she was scared, shy, lonely because she didn’t know how to speak any English. So this random teacher walks up to her and knew that girl was new, so the teacher took her to the office and got her checked in. She was really nice to her as the girl checked in the teacher asked her what’s her name and she told her and the teacher said she had a really nice name. So the teacher took her up to show her the school. Then she took her to her grade and all the students looked at her and smiled and said, “hi, what’s your name?” and she was welcomed by the teachers and students. They were all nice to her and she really liked the class and school.
