I was born on the 21th of March 2003. I was born in Malaysia and I was given the name "Grace". I also have an older brother named Joseph. He is 4 years older than me but acts as if he's my dad.

The beginning of my life was great, I was a fun child and I had a lot of good friends.

"Grace! Do you wanna play with us?" Yelled one of my best friends. And of course, I went to join them. Even though I was a shy kid, but I always seem to have a lot of fun.

I had good grades and the teachers will always praise me. Being a 6-year-old was the best period of my life. I could had as much fun as I want. Even if my brother always makes me cry, I was still a happy child. My mom would let me do that I like, less homework, no mean teachers, it was paradise!

But all of that was about to end. It's now primary school! Where a lot of bullies came in, mean teachers, I pile of homework and no more fun time.

"Dad, don't go!" Cried a new classmate of mine, Arina who was a Malay girl. She was afraid of her first day in school. I was too but I held my tears.

"Go over and talk to her, Grace" my mom said to me with a pat on the head. I shook my head as I was shy but alas, my mom made me sit next to her. But then, I became good friends with her. We would go to recess together every day. I would teach her subjects that she are weak at and so would she. Till that day, I was still the happy girl I used to be. I had a lot of friends, the whole class was my friend even the boys.

Until that day, that terrible day when I had to move to another state.

My class teacher announced that I will be leaving the next day and I also told a few of my closer friends earlier. So a few if my classmates and my teachers gave me a farewell give which is kept till this day. "I will never forget them even if I will never see then again" I said to myself.

And here I go, off to a new place and a new start.

"Mom, will it be the same there?"

"Of course."

The following day, after I've reach my new home, it's time for school.

I took a deep breathe as I walk into my classroom. 45 eyes were looking at me.

"You must be Grace, the new student." Said my new teacher with a sweet smile on her face. I nodded and stood in front on the class waiting for the teacher to show me my sit.

"Sit wherever you want, there are a few choices for you. "

I looked around and found a sit next to a sweet looking girl and a nice looking boy. And since it's my first day, the teacher asked all of us to introduce ourselves to each other.

The recess bell rang, everyone rushed out of class. I walked alone slowly toward the canteen since I haven't made shy friends yet.
