I travelled to three countries during the holiday time, which was a lot of fun, but now it's time to get back to school after a really enjoyable break. I look forward to meeting my school friends after a long time and I'm excited to get stuck into sports and after school activities. I was a little nervous about heading into Grade 9 maths, but I took the opportunity during the summer break to practise exercise material, which was recommended by teachers before going on break.
Mishal Faraz, Heading to Year 7
This academic year is a pivotal one for me as I'm moving from Year 6 to Year 7, so I'm going from primary to secondary. I will have a different colour uniform and also now instead of writing with pencils, I'll be writing with a pen. It's a whole lot of change and transition so it's natural to have a feeling of anticipation but at the same time I'm quite impatient to step into that new world and see what it holds. The only thing I'm not quite excited about is having an alarm clock waking me up early in the morning.
Humza Adnan, 11, Heading to Grade 7
My summer break was a good time to meet with family, grandparents and cousins, however, I have been missing my school friends. I really look forward to getting back to class and catching up with friends. I finished primary school and I'm going into secondary school, which makes me little nervous. There are a lot of new subjects in secondary school that I need to get use to. My older brother went to the same school so I have some idea on what to expect, which is quite helpful.
Mir F, Heading to Year 4
I'm quite excited about going back to school. It will be great to see my friends and teachers after the long break. Also, I will have a new subject this year, French, so I'm a little bit anxious about it. But at the same time, I looking forward to learning new subject. It will be nice to begin learning a new language along with English and Arabic. The beginning of the academic year is always a much awaited time for me- new beginnings, new dreams and a renewed sense of determination. What I'll miss though is I won't get as much time on my Xbox.
Dana A., Heading to Grade 8
I hope this year will be easier in terms of work and I'm aiming to get good grades. I also look forward to making new friends who are as ambitious as I am or more. Starting the new school year is always fun and I have had a good summer break, almost 2 months off school, so I am feeling refreshed and ready to start my new schooling challenges.
Mohamed Alahmadani, Studying Multimedia Design at AUS
As a student, regardless of whether I'm going back to school or university, I actually feel a little eager to start the year. I derive enjoyment from having assignments to work on and completing them, it gives me goals to strive for rather than sitting around doing nothing all day in long vacations. It may sound strange coming from a student, but I'd rather pick doing something than doing nothing any day of the week. I'm eager to start the year and strive to push my limits and achieve great results.
