Indeed, school days has many sweet and sour memories. There were days of pleasure and pain, days of hope and despair. Some incidents made us happy and some sad. Nevertheless on the whole, they were the happiest days of our lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to school especially on a Monday, was a big ordeal. One would reluctantly pack the school bag and take the most imaginative route to school, to reach late. This would eventually lead to punishment, which was also great fun. It was all worth it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for we made real childhood friends, played pranks and shared jokes, at the expense of teachers or classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recess period was eagerly looked forward to. The entire class would rush out to the playground, as if released from prison. Quickly devouring lunch, especially from the tiffin box of others, which seemed more delicious than ours, we would play in the field. Returning to the classroom was very tormenting. This would often make us take a long detour to the toilet or the dispensary, so as to avoid going back to class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best periods were the free periods, or those with substitute teachers. One took great liberties with them, for there was no fear of reprimand or punishment. To add spice to life there were crushes for the opposite sex, to fondly recall later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides fun and frolic there were many memorable moments. A word of appreciation from the class teacher, or the reward of a pen or a certificate for some good work done, would lift our spirit. Though they had no monetary value, yet they became our most-prized possession, often leaving an indelible impression on our mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To overcome boredom or the tension of studies, one found solace in cartoons and story books. Sports day would be anxiously looked forward, for which preparation would begin a month in advance. The event being our own little version of Olympics, because even participating in it was a great honour for the class and team. They offered many glorious moments, to relive later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However everything was not honky dory. The last few years at school were very challenging because of academics, further accentuated by the pangs of growing up. Besides academic pressure, the need to fight the so-called &#8216;Examination System&#8217;, to prove our worth, was very demanding. Life sometimes seemed miserable, because of the added burden of meeting the expectations of parents and peers. Nevertheless these were the days that moulded our personality, character, and also helped us to dream big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, school days was indeed the happiest days of our lives. Free from all worldly responsibility, it laid the foundation of our future, which we can never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more essays?
