I was about six years old when my father took me to school for the first
time. I remember all the children lined up. After some time, a teacher called
my name and sent me to the classroom. I became nervous, as all the children
were unknown to me. However, within a short time, I found a girl who was
our neighbour. It gave me courage. Therefore, we talked and sat on the same
bench. Then the teacher entered the room. When he started talking, I felt fine.
The teacher was very friendly and everything passed well.

In my school days, I had many friends. We were playing in the courtyard

while others were fighting over silly things. I had two best friends. They were
very nice and loyal to me. We sometimes used to play in the rains, make paper
boats. Every teacher in my school liked us. Although, we were not brilliant
students but we respected our elders and loved our Youngers.

My childhood was really amazing and simple. These primary school

memories fulfilled my heart with joy and happiness. It was one of the best
moments of my life.
