On Monday morning, I started my first week at a . I felt happy, but I also felt nervous. I wore a clean shirt, took my bag, and left home early. I did not want to be late on my first day.

The office was on the third floor of a tall building. At the door, I met a woman named Marta. She smiled and said, “Good morning. You must be Daniel.” I said, “Yes, nice to meet you.” Marta worked at the . She gave me a visitor card and showed me where to go.

My was Mr. Lewis. He was kind and calm. He showed me my , my chair, and my computer. “This is your place,” he said. “If you have questions, please ask.” I liked that sentence. It made me feel safer.

At nine o’clock, we had a short . There were six people in the room. Everyone said their name and their job. I tried to remember all the names, but it was hard. I wrote them in my : Anna, Omar, Kate, Ben, Sofia, and Mr. Lewis.

After the meeting, Anna helped me open my . She said, “You will get many messages, but don’t worry. Today you only need to read the important ones.” She showed me how to find the and how to join online meetings. I said, “Thank you for your help.” Anna smiled and said, “No problem.”

At lunch, Omar asked, “Do you want to eat with us?” I was glad because I did not know where to go. We went to a small café near the office. I ordered soup and tea. The team talked about work, but they also talked about films, families, and weekend plans. I listened more than I spoke.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I learned more. I answered simple emails. I : I sent a message to the wrong person. I felt bad, but Mr. Lewis said, “It happens. Just send a short apology and it.” I wrote, “Sorry, this message was for another team.” The problem was small, and I learned to check names carefully.

On Thursday, I helped Kate prepare a report. She showed me a list of tasks. First, we checked numbers. Then we copied information into a table. Finally, we sent the report to Mr. Lewis. Kate said, “.” I felt proud.

On Friday afternoon, the team had coffee together. Mr. Lewis asked me, “How was your first week?” I said, “It was busy, but good. Everyone was very helpful.” He said, “Next week will be easier.”

Before I left, Anna showed me one more thing. She showed me where the printer was and how to ask for more paper. It was a small thing, but it helped me. In a new place, even small things can feel difficult.

When I went home, I felt tired, but I was not afraid anymore. I still had many things to learn, but now I knew the people, the office, and my desk. My first week was not perfect. It was better than perfect: it was real, and I was ready to continue.
