All six centers in the country were eager to participate and so we managed to become even more close, to get to know each other better, and to learn from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Every day of the week had a creative theme and this time we stop on Wednesday, when our colleagues sent us their stories about The First Day of School. Some have composed lyrics, others chose to write a story. You can read everything below. The honesty and joy of our colleagues impressed us, when they responded to this initiative of remembering their first day of school or CGS.

I miss those times, those pure and innocent feelings, those divine gazes, that clean soul, before the evil things in this world would touch it. Back then, I wanted nothing more than to grow up, to become an adult, to be able to do some of the things I was eager to do. Why the hurry to grow up? Beats me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I will always remember my first day of school. It all started during the holidays, when my mum would tell me, before going to bed, how nice school will be. She told me that I would make a bunch of new friends and that I will discover the mystery of books, that I would learn to write and to do so many other things, which will be useful throughout my life.<\/p>\n<p>I nostalgically remember my first day of school. A quick breakfast which I gnarled, the meticulous &#8216;getting-ready&#8217; with my new clothes, grabbing the small backpack and&#8230;ready&#8230;off to school: me, mum and dad. We were all nervous, small or grown up, with or without experience.<\/p>\n<p>On my way there, I am relieved to notice that I wasn&#8217;t the only one looking as a new freshman. I am actually proud of my outfit and supplies so I straighten my back, walking head high and gaze forward. My folks notice this and smile with approval. My mother gently strokes my head. Finally, we arrive at the school gate, invaded of children eager to reunite with their friends, to tell their holiday stories or &#8211; as for me &#8211; to see what it was like!<\/p>\n<p>Here we are, walking down the long corridors, gleaming clean. I walk meekly, and my courage melts like butter in the sun&#8230; I&#8217;m not so sure I want to stay here on my own, without my mum and dad, without my playground friends. Well! It is what it is! It&#8217;s time to look for my classroom, to take courage and sit in one of the white desks nicely arranged, with love, between the books and flowers &#8230; Here comes the teacher, with a smiling face, seeing all the surprised little eyes riveted on her. There you have it. I&#8217;m a pupil now so I have to see&#8230; what it&#8217;s like?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Oana Iosub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/romania.cgsinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Oana-Iosub.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4893 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/romania.cgsinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Oana-Iosub-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"oana-iosub\" width=\"286\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My first day of school&#8230; this is a full pack of memories, not a composition. This is a story from &#8217;98, fresh in my memory, like it was yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still in the summer holiday. I am in Cluj, in the village of S\u00e2ntioana. Somewhere inside I know it won&#8217;t be as easy as so far. No more playing! And still, I don&#8217;t understand why I get an alphabet book and a workbook. What should I do with them? I open them and I see pictures. But, somehow they look more beautiful than the ones from my coloring books. I will use them as a menu, later, when I will be pretending to own a restaurant or, why not, hold a market.<\/p>\n<p>Summer holiday is almost over. This is a late August evening and I look to my right, to the road. I see the fiery sky embracing a sunset, crying its desire to stay longer, instead of the cruel moon. Roasted corn was messing my teeth when I heard: &#8216;Your mother is coming from Bra\u015fov to take you home, in two days&#8217;. I was happy to hear that since I knew I would be back, behind the block, playing with my neighbors&#8230; fascinating. What puzzled me was why the bus would keep coming from Gherla with parents, kids, carrying school supplies. What should I do with them? Are they toys for older children?<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m in Brasov&#8230; walking into my room, on my bed, where I find an abacus, a set square, pencils, a backpack, a pen, an ink bottle, blotting paper, special notebook for Ist grade Communications, a workbook and&#8230; stop! an alphabet book. What is this intruder doing in my path, once again? I left it to the gee\u00a0se in S\u00e2ntioana. What is it doing here? I turn my gaze to the window and, hanging on the freshly painted wooden window handle, I find a uniform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Muuuuuuuuum! What&#8217;s this ugly checkered piece of clothing doing here?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It&#8217;s your school uniform, my dear. Just like your outfit in kindergarten.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that something serious was about to happen.\u00a0The big day is here. Today is September 14th. Not 15, cause that&#8217;s Tuesday.\u00a0Now this is a big commotion. My dad went to the market to buy flowers, my mother is ironing that hideous uniform. I&#8217;m off the hook this time, with the promise that I will wear it the next day. It&#8217;s time for us to go to school together. It&#8217;s close to home, next to the kindergarten. It is school no. 22. I go into the big building and my mother tells me, looking at the panel of school elites, &#8216;Here&#8217;s where I want to see you in the fourth grade.&#8217; So here I am, in the classroom. As daring as I am, I sit in a desk. What an ugly table, with a desk, with pen scribbles. What do I see? The blackboard said &#8216;Welcome to school! You are the hopes of tomorrow!&#8217;. Our teacher urges us to say, in unison, &#8216; Gooood moooorniiiing, teeeeeacheeer!&#8217; I look at my parents and I notice their eyes are watery. Mum is holding a couple of red carnations and looks at me kindly.<\/p>\n<p>The teacher says we are about to start a journey together. It will last 8 years, of which 4 will be without her, madam Dr\u0103gan. What a kind woman! I&#8217;m beginning to like it here! There are books on our desks. The teacher says we have to take care of them, to put covers and labels on them. Now it&#8217;s time to get to know each other, by introducing ourselves. This is the time when I realize I can find a bunch of friends! We all stepped into the school yard, one by one, and the principal had a speech for us, freshmen. I like going to school! Now I&#8217;m going back home, feeling emotional, joyful, eager to return tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Looking back to that day, I realize it&#8217;s been 18 years. What appeared to be an impressible commotion then, now it seems to be one of my best memories. I miss reliving those memories with my child who, most certainly, will study the primary school where I did. I miss the school, the teacher, the breaks and my colleagues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rafael Apafi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first day of school? Quite a while has passed since. I remember how, before starting school, I went shopping with my parents and, in addition to the tens of notebooks, pens and whatever stationary items I needed, my beloved parents bought me a suit. Of course my mummy wanted it to be something casual, but, since I was also there, I saw a cherry jacket and I feel in love. That jacket was part of an event suit: it had a bow-tie, a handkerchief and a matching belt and to me, as a child, it was breath-taking, and my parents had to buy it. I was loving that piece of clothing so much that I slept in that jacket and I remember now, being grateful to my mother, that she had to iron it again, the next day.<\/p>\n<p>I left to school, all dressed-up, with a backpack twice my size and a gigantic flower bouquet. I had a huge smile on my face and I was more than thrilled. Most of my colleagues where &#8216;old friends&#8217; of mine, the beautiful group I had from kindergarten till the end of eighth grade. The teacher was just like a fairy for us and, once again, when we met her, it was love at first sight.<\/p>\n<p>I was a hard-working student and I am still a student who strives but, looking nostalgically behind, I realize that memories and past times will never come back, maybe only when, in my turn, I will take my kid to school, for the first time. That&#8217;s why I love this job. The team here still gives me the feeling of a classroom where you find all the stereotypes of students: the hardworking one, the geek, the beautiful and smart girl, the loose-tongued, rogue and so on.<\/p>\n<p>We all want to graduate from this CGS Romania &#8216;grade&#8217; and each one of us has career plans. Our ambition, at least for &#8216;the Bra\u0219ov gang&#8217;, is our strong point and we are certainly the &#8216;Olympians&#8217; of this great brand called CGS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Irina Vaida<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What I remember best from the first day of school is that feeling of\u00a0pride that I wasn&#8217;t crying, as opposed to most of the other kids\u00a0. And, then, how amazed I was when I noticed I was the only one to raise her hand when the\u00a0 teacher asked who knew how to write. I felt like the center of the\u00a0Universe, because I could read quite good, but my feet soon landed\u00a0on the ground when I had to read handwriting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>These memories are as vivid as my memories from the first day of &#8216;school&#8217; at\u00a0CGS. When I started the training, I felt like the most insignificant there.\u00a0I believe I was the only one who didn&#8217;t know how to at least install a program and I was horrified to\u00a0ask what was next. And, luckily, as\u00a0it happened in school, step by step I got the hang of it and\u00a0to gain experience. There are still plenty of things to learn, but I am now\u00a0happy for this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Carmen Toma<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/romania.cgsinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Carmen-TOma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4890 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/romania.cgsinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Carmen-TOma.jpg\" alt=\"carmen-toma\" width=\"269\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;You&#8217;ll see what happens in autumn&#8230; you won&#8217;t have so much time for pranks.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">September 15th, 2001,\u00a0\u00a08:30 A.M..\u00a0Good morning!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I hadn&#8217;t slept all night because of the nerves. This is my first day of school. I&#8217;m going to become a full-fledged school girl. It was like the most desired moment had arrived for my family.\u00a0My parents and grandparents were nervous, and they seemed to convey this state of mind to me. I had no idea what was going to happen but I realized it would be colossal, considering the reactions of those around me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I was proud to wear my nicely-ironed uniform, my new shoes and the two braids carefully arranged by my mother, under my strict surveillance. The backpack was slightly large and I hadn&#8217;t gotten the hang of it so far, but I had no intention of showing I was new in this. I wanted to be just like my older friends. I was so eager to be &#8216;older&#8217; as well&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">After I finally managed to get out of the house since my family gathered as if we were celebrating a birthday, mum held my hand and we left on the route I was going to travel, 8 years from the point forward, almost every day. I don&#8217;t live too far from school, maybe only 500-600 meters away, but once I left the house and until entering the school building I had the feeling something important would happen in my life. We were walking, with mum holding my hand, and she insisted to carry my backpack since it kept falling from my shoulders and I refused her. I wanted to be just like the older kids, passing next to us on our way to school, with a backpack and a uniform.\u00a0That&#8217;s how I was supposed to be. (&#8230;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Once we arrived in the school yard, I almost felt dizzy because of the crowd.\u00a0All of a sudden I realized that this day wasn&#8217;t all about me.\u00a0The attention, the preparations, the nerves, the hugs my parents and grandparents gave me no longer made me feel that special and important. There were so many pupils there&#8230;\u00a0I felt like an ordinary kid.\u00a0Other girls also had a uniform and braids. Some of them even had nicer hair clips than mine. Where did they buy them? I wasn&#8217;t saying anything. I was surrounded by a wall of people taller than me. I see Ana, a friend whom I played with the entire summer.\u00a0I wanted to talked to her and to tell her &#8216;Look at me, Ana!\u00a0I am also in school now&#8217;; but she is older, hanging out with her colleagues. She ignores me, pretending she didn&#8217;t notice me. &#8216;Never mind!&#8217;, I keep telling myself. I will play with her later&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I hear the bell.\u00a0Mum tells me we need to go to the classroom.\u00a0I sat in the first desk, being pushed from the back, by my mother.\u00a0The classroom was empty, with white cold walls. Handbooks were sitting alone on the desks, with red covers. This velvet material was attached to the desk with a white elastic. I move over the case and I discover the old and scribbled. I wonder how many kids have sat here before? I saw letters, such as A+I = LOVE (I could read capitals). Ashamed, I slowly put the case back and I notice a flower next to my handbooks.\u00a0I peep at my desk mate and I notice that she also has a flower.\u00a0We all had.\u00a0The classroom had a new and pleasant scent, of which I was also afraid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">All of a sudden I hear a kind, warm and nervous voice. My teacher introduced herself and I went to give her the flowers, with my knees shaking and cheeks burning.\u00a0She smiled shyly and reminded me of my mother.\u00a0She seems to be a nice person. &#8216;I hope she will never punish me&#8217;, I tell myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Afterward, I left for home, happy and anxious to return. Since I couldn&#8217;t wait to return the next day, for several minutes, I kept sniffing the fresh ink from the handbooks I received.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Raul P\u0103ducel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a pupil, I was always a clever kid&#8230; or, at least, this is what I wanted to believe. So, when going to the Ist grade, I had to take a test, since I wasn&#8217;t seven years old yet. If I scored 80%, I went to the Ist grade, but if I scored less, this meant another year in kindergarten. Since I was stubborn from a young age, I wanted a new level, so I got 100% &#8211; intelligence confirmed. Happy, as any kid when receiving a new toy, wearing my uniform and holding a flower bouquet, as a &#8216;standard pack&#8217; for the young ones, I went to school.<\/p>\n<p>I sit quietly at my desk and I wait for the attendance check: &#8216;\u201cM\u0103r\u0103cine \u2013 present. Manea \u2013 present. P\u0103ducel \u2013 present.&#8217;\u2026when hearing that word, all eyes turned on the first desk- over it, seeing a hand raised, up to the elbow, and two eyes. Oh&#8230; I forgot to mention&#8230; I was &#8216;just a bit over 1 meter&#8217;. You couldn&#8217;t even see my hand when sitting at the desk.<\/p>\n<p>And so I went from going up the stairs in my knees &#8211; kindergarten, to the next level: 2 pillows under my bottom &#8211; Ist grade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana Giorgi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While in kindergarten,<\/p>\n<p>I was still small.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m very happy<\/p>\n<p>Cause I grew up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I will get older and older,<\/p>\n<p>I will learn to read,<\/p>\n<p>To write and to count &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I will be able to do them all!<\/p>\n<p>Cause I want you kids to know:<\/p>\n<p>I am a first grader!<br \/>\n<strong>Norbert Gal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My first day at CGS Academy was very interesting. I had very weird nerves.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I was very nervous, because I didn&#8217;t know what to expect. I thought training would be hard and that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to learn. Secondly, I was nervous because I knew the most difficult thing for me was to talk to strangers. The most interesting thing happened when I finished my training and we had the chance to hear our more experiences colleagues, to hear them how they talk to the clients.<\/p>\n<p>Then, looking at the monitor, I saw a very complicated system. But now, after 2 months, I can say that I enjoy working with it. It is even easier than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that, from now on, I will get many beautiful experiences working at CGS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cezara Gusanu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6:00 The alarm didn&#8217;t ring. &#8216;They tried to make me go to School \/ I said, no, no, no&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>6:15 I almost left in my PJs, looking for flowers, from my neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>6:30 Came home, half dusted, with two peonies and one rose (considering the odd number rule)<\/p>\n<p>6:45 Jumping into the shower, with jellyfish hair, I went to the kitchen, (confirmed theory, bread always lands butter and jam side-down.
