A school is a place for learning. It is a training ground. Here we forms new associates, comes in contact with people of different temperaments. We develop new ideas and habits. It is here we are prepared for the future stage of life.
I was enrolled in a new school at the age of five. That is CM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL located in Balewadi. The school had a compound with lush green lawns and flowers bedded.
It was my first day in my new school. I felt a bit nervous in the new environment. Going somewhere different with new teachers, new classmates and new building is very exciting, overwhelming and scary all the time. The children looked at me with wonder and smiled. I sat with a girl pooja and she is my best friend now.
It was my first lecture of English and I still remember the poem 'The Brook’. The way the teacher told us to imagine the poem is still memorable even she took us for a nature walk and it was very refreshing. My class teacher was very gentle and kind with me.
It was a break time next I was very hesitate to talk with anyone. But other children they came to know and I introduced myself to them. Some made fun with me and laughed at me but some were kind with me.
I was so luck that it was Christmas celebration day and all were very excited for the celebration. Christmas Carols were continuously playing and all were dancing with joy. I too enjoyed a lot. I also participated in decorating my classroom. It was class wise competition. We all made a snow world. Santa came to our classroom waved at us and wished us Merry Christmas and went in other class. My Principal appreciated me for my participation in class decoration.
Even my father brought a packet full of toffees and I distributed to all. It was the wonderful day. I will always remember and cherish my first day in my new school.
