It is a knee-length skirt but check blue and red then a long sleeved red shirt, a monkey jacket, then my sky blue necktie and beret oh I forget my glasses i have eye problem so i started using it when i was 7 Then I put on my white socks and my black loafers shoe which was bought to me by my aunt on my last birthday. I just like my school uniform and it suits me perfectly. I carried my schoolbag which was a combination of red and blue with a little touches white on it.
      I went downstairs to have my breakfast. It was pancakes and chocolate oh I just like it. After I finished I saw Arif too already finished his breakfast and Ummi shouted our names Meenah , Arif 'yes ummi. Nazhab besur'a Yallah Yallah. Then I carried my school bag and left.
     We went and get inside the latest Range Rover.

Sabahul khair 'I said and sabahul noor 'they chorused. Two, Buckle your seat belt. chuk chuk buckled. Then ummi came and we greeted her.
      She was dressed in a maxi golden and red dress sewn in a fitted gown together with her labcoat and also her flat shoe, matching color with her outfit and her bag then her golden veil, she just look beautiful. So we made our way to school.
   After 30mins we arrived, I went to my section where I met two of my friends Zunaira and Maimunatu so I asked them of Aliyah but they said "she's not yet in school. Taraaa, here I am "said Aliyah. We hugged each other then we asked her why she was late and she replied "oh, I went to the vice principals office to get a new necktie so i met yasmins mum so I greeted her OK "we said in unison. Now before the classes begun let's go to the garden you know we would be having a project next week so we need to practice, you know that proverb which says "Practice makes perfect "I said."Oh yeah said Zunaira. So we went and started practicing.

  Arif would be entering secondary school today so Ummi escorted him. He has everything intact. So They went to the administrative block. As they entered, the office has its table, chairs for visitors and it was painted blue and white. The office is well furnished. Mrs. Aliyu welcomed them and asked them to sit. Ummi told the teacher everything then she asked Arif "What is your name? "said Mrs. Aliyu. My name is Ahmad Mahmud Abdulrahman. She then check out the list and finally she saw his name and Congratulations "she said. You would be taken to JSS1a. OK Ma came my reply. Then ummi paid all the necessary things and she left. Mrs. Aliyu took me to my class and the students in my class stood up to greet her and she direct me to my seat. My seat is the second by the left side of the class. We introduced ourselves as newcomers.

Back in the garden were Yasmin and her friends are talking about the project they would be having. They later heard the bell and went back to their class, they are chatting happily when Miss Salma came in. Miss Salma is our basic science teacher. she is very nice kind and caring.

We continued till we reached 114. Her period is over so she left.
