Starting school

Hi, I’m going to be starting highschool next month in January and I’m really nervous and scared. Due to the Covid pandemic, we didn’t have an open house which means no tour of the school and no meeting teachers. I have no clue what to do because I’ve never been inside and I’m scared of looking dumb in front of everyone by not knowing where to go or asking for help, I know it sounds ridiculous but I’m scared to humiliate myself and be laughed at. It’s stressing me out what should I do?

Have you read Alice Alone?   Exactly the way she felt when she started high school.  Same way I did when I entered a high school of 4000 students.  Ask yourself why you think that you’re the only one who doesn’t know where exactly to go or what to do.  Here’s the best hint I can give:  Develop your sense of humor.  If you walk in the wrong classroom expecting geometry and the teacher says “This is U.S. history,” say a soft “Oops!” and give the class a guilty grin as you leave and they’ll smile with you, not at you.   Give yourself a break!   Remember that if you don’t understand something, it means a dozen other kids don’t either.
