The First Day of School

Wrote this on the first day when I went back to school after the holidays for my senior year.

The First Day of School

One week has passed and finally it’s time to go back to school for the last term. And it’s no surprise that seniors and sophomores are excited. To them, this is the term they have all been looking forward to since the beginning of the year. The period of the year where they will do their Final Examinations and be dismissed for the holidays.

      Well, juniors and freshmans are also excited because they can finally meet their fellow mates after the holiday. You know how teenage life is. Being reunited with those particular individuals who you called ‘best friends’ is truly an amazing feeling.

     The first day of school, Monday, it was cold and freezing outdoors. Teachers and students rushed around the campus with hands in their pockets. And once again the school is coming back to life. The empty homerooms are starting to fill up with students. The silence in the campus has ceased and is now filled with voices conversing and laughter. It seems as if the whole place is buzzing.

     Teachers walked among the students with books and stationeries in their arms. The bare noticeboard has notices pasted on it already. The Administration block is crowded with fresh looking teachers, all ready and prepared to resume their teachings.

     Back in the classroom, the empty desks now has books, biros, notepads and other essential items on it. Students gather around each other’s desks and openly talk about their holiday adventures and trips. The hours went by in a flash and soon the schooling sessions ended. Everyone spent the day in joy and laughter. It was a blissful day.
