Being the New Student
You walk to Mr. Martinez's desk. He looks confused. you ask for the morning announcement paper. He smiles softly and points to the trays. You go and grab a paper and sit back at your desk. As your teacher reads it aloud and your trace along, you are excited by all the fun things that the school does.

August 19 - Zoologist's presentation with various reptiles
August 25 - Chess club begins; schoolwide Pajama Day!
August 26 - Mario Kart club begins
August 28 - Pep rally for high school sports

You make a mental note to ask your grandmother if you can join the chess club. You always loved things that involved strategy. Mr. Martinez reads through all of the annoucement sheet and asks for all students to place it in a 'for home' folder.
Then Mr. Martinez says, "Everyone, I know you were all happy to know we'd have a new student joining us today." He introduces you by name and asks you to tell a little about yourself.
You tell your name, your favorite shows, and that you like music. The other kids seem to be quiet, letting you talk, yet also welcoming. One of the boys asks if you are going to join any clubs.
What do you say?
