     On September 10th,                                                                                         T

     a special day for me,                                                                                      D

     I  experienced  my  first  day  as  a  university  student.  I  felt  a  mix  of                           N
                                                                                                                E
     excitement and nervousness.                                                                                T




     As a new student, I arrived early to find my classroom, but my cousin,                                     S

     who  had  been  studying  at  the  university  for  two  years,  couldn't                                  W

     accompany me as planned.                                                                                   R



     I searched anxiously between the buildings, unable to locate my class.                                     I

     Finally,  I  approached  an  administrator  for  help,  but  I  couldn't                                   I
                                                                                                                T
     understand the directions.                                                                                 N




     Feeling hopeless, I decided to head back. In the elevator, I asked a girl                                  G

     to guide me to my class, and she kindly agreed.
                                                                                                                S



     When I arrived, the lecture had already started, and I was worried the                                     S
                                                                                                                T
     teacher  would  be  upset  with  me.  The  girl  who  escorted  me  was                                    U

     preoccupied with taking pictures, making us late.                                                          D



     Eventually, I entered the classroom, where the teacher welcomed me                                         E

     warmly.  I  sat  nervously  in  the  front  row  until  I  began  to  relax  and
                                                                                                                N
     engage with the lecture, eventually making new friends.                                                    T

     Now, I'm about to finish my first year at university, feeling content and

     happy.                                                                                                     R
