How to use "First" in context?
When I was a child, my parents would tell me the first thing they ever did was this or that. They would always instill in me the importance of starting off on the right foot. They would tell me that the first step is the hardest, but it also sets the precedent for the rest of your life. Throughout my teenage years, I would hear my friends and family say the same thing. They would allude to the importance of getting your feet wet and starting off with something small in order to better your chances of succeeding. They would say that the first step is always the hardest, but it eventually becomes easier.
