Here’s the Bengali meaning of your passage:
আমার নতুন স্কুলের প্রথম দিনটি খুবই আকর্ষণীয় ছিল। আমি আমার বাবার সঙ্গে রিকশায় স্কুলে যাচ্ছিলাম। আমরা পনেরো মিনিট পর স্কুলে পৌঁছলাম। আমার বাবা বিদায় জানিয়ে আমাকে স্কুলের গেটে ছেড়ে দিলেন। আমি ভিতরে ঢুকে দেখলাম সবাই ক্লাসে চলে গেছে। আমি আমার শ্রেণিকক্ষে প্রবেশ করে একটি আসন খুঁজে নিলাম। কিছুক্ষণ পর একজন শিক্ষক এসে আমাদের আন্তরিকভাবে শুভেচ্ছা জানালেন। আমি আমার নতুন শ্রেণীতে ছাত্রছাত্রীদের খুব বন্ধুসুলভ মনে করলাম।
