Hi teachers,

Is the sentence below correct?

I would always remember how much more difficult my first day at kindergarten was than my first day at college.

Thanks in advance. Very Happy

The 'would' doesn't sound very appropriate out of context, unless you are narrating your own past in e.g. your autobiography-- I would change it to 'will'.
