Silence please

When I was in first class the school seems so enormous to me. I had to found the way in that enormous building? Impossible! But for sure it was possible. There were so much people in there and a school with stairs was something I couldn't think of. I remember the days of silence. First you got an email with the question of you could pay attention for your noise, because the exam-candidates would appreciate the silence. I had so much respect for these adult pupils, who sat there in the auditorium, in rows and bent over their papers. Some places were illegal, to gave these grown up students the silence they needed. I remember the big plates: Silence. Exams! They obstruct your way in the staircases. Sometimes you was edgy about these plates, but now I realize perfect why these things are there.

As little as I was when I came on this school, as grown up I am now. I can't imagine that there are people from the first class who have the same attitude towards me as I had to the big children a few years ago. I am not scary at all, on the contrary. Tomorrow my exams will start. I will be one of the exam-candidates, in the auditorium, in the same rows as they sit every year. I got a number, which is related to a place in the auditorium. I will sit there seven times, three hours each time, bent over my papers. This time my name will be on the papers, my answers will be there too. It will be me with the same nervousness as the one who went before me. I'm not nervous at all, but that's what I feel now, I think that tomorrow, when I will go on the illegal stairs I will feel a little nervous, like (almost) all the pupils will have. These two weeks will be important weeks in my life, cause when I graduate this school time of six years I will get my diplomas: my ticket for the University!

I hope it will go as good as I think it will and I wish good luck to everyone who is in the same situation as me the coming weeks!
