A letter to incoming students

A new student in any class is always a great event for everyone: for the students, the teachers and the new-comer. It looks like a journey to another country with unknown customs and rules though even if you stay in the same town. As for me I also passed that way when I moved to our school from another school 4 years ago, and I was so much surprised and lucky to see within my new class-mates my old friends. I used to go to college with them at the age of 5-6 years old. I didn't even feel myself as a new-comer, as they helped me to make acquaintance with the rest part of class easily. First thing I would advice: find common friends before you move to a new school. It is very easy to do in our society. Any incomer passes through several phases of adaptation: at first all the students gaze at him attentively and often keep a distance at the beginning. Then one or two students, who have the class leader’s responsibilities, form the general opinion about the new student. As a result, a newcomer becomes an outcast or joins the team. Much depends on the personal qualities of new comer, his communicative ability, as well as lots of things depend on class teacher. The teacher should be aware of all family problems of the student to prevent problems or some questions. Lots of things depend on the parents as well. One more thing, a new student should know: classmates and teachers immediately want to identify its strong and weak sides. A new comer should be attentive and try not to lose his individuality. It is better to be as you are, not pretending and trying to be alike your new class-mates. A new comer should not identify his class into friends and enemies. Anyway any new student can have some problems. One thing that will help to overcome a problem: take the problem as an adventure, a task you should solve by any means. Any student should be taught to stand up for himself but sometimes it is better not to hear the mocks of classmates. Sometimes neglecting leads to success as well. A new comer should try to spend much time outdoor with his class mates. For example, hiking, visiting museums, exhibitions, etc. such outdoor events are very popular in our school As for our school, I think, it is easy for any new-comer to adapt. Though the education system and teaching approach is quite different, but it doesn’t interfere get used to it. Our school is equipped with modern technological facilities. But as any new student comes, he quickly involves in that process and there is no time for any other problems. The other positive thing our school has is freedom of choice. Any student can choose the area and sphere he likes or he can do the best. That is the great solution of not getting into stress.
