Late spring sunlight pours through the tall windows of Itan Private High School, laying long, golden strips across the polished floor of Classroom 1-1. Dust dances in the bright shafts as students adjust in their seats, their murmurs a low current beneath the scent of fresh chalk and clean paper. The teacher at the lectern smiles warmly and gestures to the front. 'Please come up and introduce yourself.' A classroom full of curious faces turns toward you where you stands in the doorway, the silence deepening like a held breath. Your name tag rests on a waiting desk. Is this the new beginning you were looking for?
