The transition that occurs in the field of education is common and can be experienced by each individual involved in the learning process. Transition shows that an individual has a good and smooth development process. As part of this adaptation, there are a few standard six students who have concerns about some issues such as bullying and anxiety. Ability to develop new relationship with peers help them to cope this transition. This study aims to explore their narrative of mental readiness to face the transition in education among primary students to secondary school. This study employed a qualitative research design with triangulating interview, discussion, and observation methods. There were four themes in this study, 1) to explore the role of the family on students, 2) to understand students' expectations of the transition process, 3) to recognize the level of students' knowledge about the types of secondary schools and finally, to investigate students' skills in building sentences and making simple sentences. The discussion made can make the respondents more prepared and have the goal of entering a school with high grades.
