The First Class I Ever Taught

When I studied in a technical secondary school, my major was agricultural machinery management.

I didn't study seriously because students in a technical secondary school back then were assigned a job by the government after they graduated.

After I graduated from that school, I was assigned a job as a teacher in an agricultural mechanization school of a county in another prefecture level city.

That meant I was going to teach the tractor drivers in that county soon. So I had to study my courses that I should have learned well when I was in school very hard before I started to teach the drivers.

I took about one or two months to study the courses. Before the first class, I thought I was well prepared. When I taught my first class, I found all the drivers were older than me, which made me nervous. I even forgot what I prepared for the class, so I finished the class very early and I couldn't even remember what I thought in the class just after the class ended.

I can even clearly remember the scene of that class now, because it was the first class of my career.

Could you please tell me why you changed it into perfect tense? The same question for “have graduated” in the second paragraph. If I keep using past tense, are the sentences grammatically wrong? Thank you very much.
