It all began on the 28th August 2014

I’m happy to say that I survived my first day of transition year. On Thursday 28th of August 2014 almost 90 excited, nervous and overly tired teenage girls walked into St.Wolstans Community School. I think it’s safe to say after a well-deserved summer after we all stressed out and studied hard in third year for our junior cert we are looking for a year full of enjoyment and a break from study.

I would be lying if I said I was excited to see who was in my class. When I walked into the hall all I could think was “what if none of my friends are in my class”, “what if nobody talks to me" and many other negative thoughts. With my eyes half open I sat patiently waiting for our year head to read aloud all the classes. First Ariel was called out, then Bell and then I looked around the hall to see the row I was sitting in was mostly full and most of my friends would be in class Aurora with me. Not loving the name I went to tutor class and laughed as our tutor told us reasons why we should like the name and be glad not to be called the other ones. Then the bell rang and it was lunch and next thing I knew I was at home again telling my parents what I thought of my first day and then that night I went to bed not wanting to go asleep and having to get up early again but at the same time I was looking forward to the next day with my new class.

The worst part about the day was waking up early and dragging myself out of bed but I’m sure in a few weeks I’ll be able to do that in a few minutes because there is so much things I’m looking forward to do this year and I can’t wait to do everything!


I’m just a teenage girl who hates the thought of growing up but im doing it with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. Hope you liked reading about my thoughts on my first day in TY – Miss.Galligan x
