It was Monday morning when birds were singing their melodious songs to welcome the day. I jumped out out my mat full of joy . Took my hot cassava breakfast to start my day. After cold bathe put on my uniform and at high speed rushed to school. In my bag i had all my old and new books since it my last time in primary school. It was not long before i reached school. My friends and i chattered happily in our classroom acknowledging the new class and year we had one again began All over the compound we were in small groups of boy and girls talking about the last holiday.
