There could be reasons of piety for looking forward to receiving your first communion. In many communities it is seen as part of growing up and being seen as more responsible. It is exciting to do something for the first time, and tension has built up as you prepare for this as a special occasion.

AnswerYou should look forward to your first Holy Communion, because this is the first time that you are going to receive the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that comes even close to the graces and strength that you will receive in Holy Communion as long as you are receiving it worthily.Wiki User

Communion after divorce?
Roman Catholic AnswerOne may only receive Holy Communion when one is in a state of grace. Receiving Holy Communion in a state of sin is a grave sacrilege and another mortal sin. If one is the innocent party to a divorce, has not attempted a "remarriage", has been to confession, and is in a state of grace, then there is no problem with receiving Holy Communion. If in doubt as to your status, check with the priest while you are in confession.
Why does the Catholic church not allow other Christians to partake in communion?
Because one of the reasons for receiving Holy Communion in the Catholic Church is to publicly show your communion with the Catholic Church. Non-Catholics are not in communion with the Catholic Church and therefore cannot receive Holy Communion.

Children usually require one or two years of education about the sacrament before they receive communion for the first time.
What is the difference between Catholic Holy Communion and Pentecostal Communion with respect to a child's first holy communion?
