if you always want to select the first row, use the below xpath:

//h3[contains(@id,'header') and contains(@onclick,'periodOnClick') ][1]

hope this will help you and let me know what happens.

You could use the following xpath to select the first h3 :

//div[@id='periodAccordion']/h3

if you need for the first div from the main div, then:

//div[@id='periodAccordion']/div

If you need only the firs one then you can use:

//div[@id='periodAccordion']/h3[1]
