The earliest memory I have

The earliest thing I currently remember is my first day of school. At Casitan Pamplona Cagayan, zone 3 was a bright sunny day, with small patches of clouds in the sky. Just like any other day, ideal weather for such occasions. This is where and when my kindergarten started.

I was just a kid back then, with no clue what will happen next, I just did what my parent told me like a proper kid would. As I got closer to the school, walking with my mother beside me. I was still clueless. Just wow, really how naive I was at that back then. Then when my mother told me to enter a building I had never been to, ever, it was a new experience. As I walk inside, I headed to my supposed seat without stopping, but as this happens all my classmate was looking at me. This event definitely kick-started my anxiety. When I arrived at my seat, with all eyes on me I placed down my bag while simultaneously sitting down, but the very moment I sat down, I realized that I was the last one to arrive. As a result, The teacher cheerfully asks me to introduce myself, and introducing myself is what I've done. After this, I sat down with nobody else introducing themselves. This is probably because I was the last one to arrive.

The lesson continue as if nothing ever happened.

While I don't understand i single word the teacher said because she was speaking in their mother tongue Ilocano. I learn how to speak this language with exposure, and nobody taught me. I started self-learning the language by starting to copy what my classmate said and then trying their best to correct me. With each day of me trying to connect with my classmates and teacher, I got more fluent in speaking Ilocano. Having learned how to connect and communicate with others my childhood has begun.
