Beginning with tears, growing with time with fun: My school life didn’t begin with happiness but with tears. I cried so much that my mom had to take me before the bell rang in my first school – V. S. Niketan. I didn’t have a problem with studying, but I had problem with going to school by leaving my home. In the first day of my second school, Euro School, the same story happened. One of my teachers was kind but the other one was very strict at the beginning. I cried seeing her scolding everyone. Later on, I also found out that the strict teacher was very cool and funny.
My first day at DAV was pretty ordinary. I didn’t cry or do anything special. I just spent the whole day being a good child which got me a big piece of chocolate. I’ve had proud moments too like winning the first ever inter-school competition in cricket and doing well in other competitions.
My favourite part is spending time with my family. My father cracking bad and funny jokes, my mother forcing everyone to sleep which no one obeys and my sister making snacks which I beg to eat and steal. This happens all the while we are watching shows and cricket or sometimes football.
Stories with small moments: One ordinary moment with my family that’s special to me is sitting together and watching shows – especially Ramayana. My father teases my sister because he loves her, my mom always trying to sleep and I enjoy teasing everyone.
But when did I feel like I am different, but like the rest? From the beginning of my school life, I didn’t enjoy school as much as others. I was always a year older than most of my classmates. Maybe that’s why I understand some things a bit faster than others. A small memory that means a lot to me? There are many. My sister cooking and me going crazy for it. I tend to get happy from small things at home but not so much in school. I may not always feel like hero, but deep inside, I know I have something special that keeps me going.
The boy who will leave a mark: I have always been the person who speaks and stand tall. I do not believe in following but I believe in leading. Yes. Sometimes, I may feel a sense of pride in myself but not because I am overconfident but because not many choose to be. I have always tried to be the best among all. I do not know where life will take me, but I want to make a mark on everyone. I want to be known as the boy who came, saw and left a mark.
