First Day at School
Asaf, an 8-year-old boy from Rosh Haayin, Israel, faces his first day at a new school with a mix of excitement and anxiety. He must navigate various obstacles, including making new friends and understanding lessons, all while learning the value of wisdom.
Asaf woke up early, feeling both excited and nervous about his first day at his new school in Rosh Haayin. He had just moved to Israel from a different country and was worried about fitting in. As he walked into the classroom, he noticed everyone was already in groups, talking and laughing. He felt like an outsider. His biggest fear was whether he would make any friends.
During the first lesson, the teacher asked a question, and Asaf hesitated to raise his hand. He knew the answer but was too afraid of making a mistake. Another student answered correctly, and Asaf felt even more uncertain. He thought to himself, 'Maybe I'm not smart enough.' His confidence began to waver.
At recess, Asaf tried to join a group of kids playing soccer, but they didn't pass the ball to him. He ran around, feeling invisible and out of place. Later, he approached a group who were talking about a popular TV show he hadn't seen. They laughed when he said he didn't know about it. Asaf felt like giving up on making friends.
Asaf sat alone during lunch, feeling defeated. He wondered if he would ever fit in. He thought about pretending to be sick so he could go home. He sighed and muttered, 'Maybe I should just give up.' His eyes welled up with tears.
Just then, a girl named Noa sat down next to him. - Hi, I'm Noa. You look like you could use a friend. - Really? Asaf asked, surprised. - Yes, why don't you sit with us? Noa replied with a smile. She introduced Asaf to her friends and included him in their conversation. Asaf felt a spark of hope.
In the afternoon, the teacher gave a group project. Asaf was paired with Noa and her friends. They worked together, and Asaf shared his ideas confidently. - You're really smart, Asaf! Noa complimented. By the end of the day, Asaf realized that wisdom wasn't just about knowing answers, but also about understanding and being kind. He felt happy and accepted.
