Hello kids!
With all the vacations and fun being over, it’s time to go back to school once again. I know it’s difficult because it’s really cold and you have to wake up early to reach school on time, yet being back to school I guess must be fun...
OK OK, I know I don’t have to go but that doesn’t mean that I’ve never been there. You know once you step out of school you’d understand what a wonderful period of your life this is. I still remember, how good life was at school. We were so carefree, the only major crisis in life seemed to be exams and results. Now I kind of miss those days. When there are no teachers to run to with your problems, no one to guide you up the way. I miss our convent, the sisters, the hockey field and all that was associated with our school. Just the other day when I woke up, I heard a kid yelling and screaming because she didn’t want to go to school. This yelling suddenly brought back the memories of the days when even I hated going to school, specially when my brother would make an excuse and stay back to watch the Olympics. God! How I hated my brother for being so convincing that mama would just tuck him in bed and give him a paracetamol (can you imagine that), and I would have to go to school.
It’s amazing how time changes and you begin to cherish the very same things that you once loathed. Homework, restrictions and all the other things that come with being a school kid. I thought at times that homework was a way that the elders got back at us. It was their way of making life miserable for us. Well, how silly can you get? But then I was a kid, so can I be blamed for all the crazy ideas that flipped through my mind? But now when I’ve grown-up, I realize that these little restrictions, though at that times seemed to take away all the fun in your life, help build your character and your personality. So kids don’t loath school, enjoy it, because this time will never come back...
See you next week.
Ed
