Going to Elementary School

Courage

Nuh, a curious and talkative 6-year-old, faces his first day at elementary school in Amwaj, Bahrain. Overcoming fears and obstacles, he learns the value of courage with the help of his teachers and friends.

Nuh, a bright and curious 6-year-old with light brown skin and straight, silky hair, was excited yet nervous about his first day at elementary school in Amwaj, Bahrain. He had heard great things about Ms. Tamia, the English teacher, and Ms. Zaina, the Arabic teacher. But he was worried about making new friends. 'What if they don't like me?' Nuh thought.

As Nuh entered the classroom, he saw children laughing and talking. He wanted to join them but felt shy. Ms. Tamia greeted him warmly. - 'Hello, Nuh! Welcome!' Ms. Tamia said. Despite her kindness, Nuh couldn't shake off his nerves.

During the first lesson, Nuh struggled to focus. He kept thinking about how to make friends. Ms. Zaina noticed and asked, - 'Is everything okay, Nuh?' Nuh hesitated but replied, - 'I'm just worried no one will like me.' Ms. Zaina smiled reassuringly.

At recess, Nuh tried to approach a group of kids playing soccer, but he tripped and fell. The kids laughed. Embarrassed, Nuh wanted to hide. - 'I can't do this,' he muttered, feeling tears in his eyes. He sat alone, feeling defeated.

Ms. Tamia saw Nuh sitting alone and came over. - 'Don't give up, Nuh. Everyone feels scared sometimes,' she said. - 'But I fell and they laughed,' Nuh replied. - 'That's okay. Try again. Show them your courage,' Ms. Tamia encouraged. Nuh nodded, feeling a bit better.

Nuh decided to give it another try. He approached the soccer group again, this time with a smile. - 'Can I play?' he asked. The kids welcomed him, and soon Nuh was laughing and running with them. He realized that being brave made all the difference. - 'This is fun!' Nuh shouted happily.
