Schools of Fish

Prompt: Write an essay explaining why it can be difficult to be the new student in a new school.

----
Every ocean in the world is different. They have different creatures, plants, and ways of life. In these vast bodies of water, a new fish can find it hard to fit in. He knows that diving into the unfamiliar sea of a new school can be extremely stressful and difficult, but he will eventually find the perfect place for him with a little courage and perseverance.

He knows it's hard to swim around easily when each fish knows the other. He'll have to struggle through his first few days as a loner, desperately attempting to fit in. But he knows that if he tries hard enough, he'll find the perfect group for him; they'll be his best friends through his first voyage through the new school.

In addition, the little fish knows that swimming around in an unfamiliar environment can be truly frightening. He doesn't know where his classes are, or which lunch table he should sit at. He also can't figure out which way to swim: does he swim left and do unhonest things to fit in, or does he swim right and participate in showing integrity? He realizes how tough the situation is, and how crucial it can be to his school-wide success.

I'm conclusion, the new fish feels lost in the great big ocean called school. he feels lonely, and yearns for friendship, while he also attempts to figure out where he needs to be. But he's figured out that in the end, everything will be fine.
