Most of us couldn’t know where we were and where we needed to go, as we entered the gigantic halls of RC. It felt
as if we fell down in a forest where there was no end. Everybody wished to see someone whom they had known
before, trying not to seem as an idiot that knows nothing about the campus (not quite sure whether it’s a campus or
a forest around the school.)
And a naive boy named Serkan, student of LP-2, first came to the school with no information about where to go but
he at least knew English. Unfortunately, his English didn’t help him; and on the contrary, it worked against him. He
walked towards the list; where the places he had to go were written. Serkan, who learned that he needed to go to
Woods, went to Woods. But not to the building Woods, he went to the woods that was filled with trees in front of the
buildings. When I asked him how he felt after this misunderstanding, he said “I told myself: ‘What a stupid guy you
are and what a big school you are in.’ I will never forget that day” the wideness of the school was trouble, even at
the very first day.

Actually our struggle on finding the classes was just starting. Teachers gave us a schedule to check the time
and a map, to see which buildings we have had class in; they thought that the piece of paper would help us and our
problem would be solved. Usually, we were walking in the long corridors of RC with a schedule in our prep hands,
asking silly questions like “Where is Feyyaz Berker?” Once; after lunch time, when I went to my locker to grab my PE
clothes, I saw my locker was locked. And I got nervous and begun to look for the man who would unlock the lockers.
After a twenty-minute seek, I found him. As I got my clothes, with a great speed I ran towards the gym. But it was too
late. None of my friends or none of the teachers
