CICI DECIDED
Cici Namang was a very popular girl at school. She
was clever and fun and got on well with everyone. It was no accident that Cici
was so popular. From an early age, she had made an effort to be kind and
friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party, and
from time to time she would give presents to everybody. She was such a busy
girl, with so many friends, that she hardly got a chance to spend time with
individual friends. However, she felt very lucky; no other girl had so many
friends at school and in the neighbourhood.
But everything changed on National Friendship Day.
On that day, at school, everyone was having a great time, drawing, painting,
giving gifts. That day in class everyone had to make three presents to give to
their three best friends. Cici enjoyed the task of choosing three from amongst
all the dozens of her friends.
However, when all the presents had been made and
shared out among classmates,Cici was the only one who had not received a
present! She felt terrible and spent hours crying. How could it be possible? So
much effort to make so many friends, and in the end, no one saw her as their
best friend? Everyone came and tried to console her for a while. But each one
only stayed for a short time before leaving.
This was exactly what Cici had done so many times to
others. She realized that she was a good companion and acquaintance, but she
had not been a true friend to anyone. She had tried not to argue with anyone,
she had tried to pay attention to everyone, but now she had found out that that
was not enough to create true friendship.
When she got home that night, created quite a puddle
with her tears, and Cici asked her mother where she could find true friends.
“Cici, my dear,” answered her mother, “you cannot buy friends with a smile or a
few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them
real-time and affection. For a true friend, you must always be available, in good
times and bad”.
“But I want to be everybody’s friend! I need to share
my time among everyone!”, Cici protested.
“My dear, you’re a lovely girl,” said her mother,
“but you can’t be a close friend to everybody. There just isn’t enough time to
be available for everyone, so it’s only possible to have a few true friends.
The others will by playmates or acquaintances, but they won’t be close
friends”.
Hearing this, Cici decided to change her ways so
that she could finally have some true friends. That night, in bed, she thought
about what she could do to get them.
She thought about her mother. Her mother was always
willing to help her, she put up with all of Cici’s dislikes and problems, she
always forgave her, she loved her a great deal… That was what makes friends!
And Cici
smiled from ear to ear, realizing that she already had the best friend
anyone could ever want.
WE LEARN FROM
TEACHERS
We start our school life at a very young age. Before
we can understand its importance, and before we see what it is really in it for
us. It may begin to feel as if the school is just a place where children go to
learn unnecessary formulas and complicated words that will never be used in an
average conversation. Or learn things that do not relate in any way to the
aspirations that have driven us during our childhood.
The day most dreaded; the first day of school is one
that still makes grown men and women cringe when they think back in time. You
walk inside a strange building, holding the hands of your parents in a place
that smells of play dough. Your parents stand and begin to leave, but you grip
onto their shirts in tears as they explain to you that it will be okay. When
they go through that door you are left staring out the window which fogs up
with your every breath. Watching their car leave a trail on the wet road as the
weather matches your damp mood. You cry, wondering if you will ever again see
those people that you love.
Soon, we learn to read and write. The topics are
broad and varied. We excel in certain areas, but our skills are limited in
others. Yes, we learn from teachers; but we learn from the other students
around us who will aid you in the areas that you struggle, in exchange for help
where you stand out. Our friends teach us to share and often show us ways to enjoy
ourselves through games of hand-ball or scat-rat. It seems as if our lives can
stay simple forever, but it is the way of life to grow up and walk opposite
ways.
Before long, we reach the higher ages of schooling,
where our workload increases and the air around others becomes tense.
Throughout the years, our achievement varies as does the effort that we put
into our work. Friends come and go and so do goals in life. It becomes much
clearer that we can try something with unwavering resolve and not succeed but
it helps us see the difference between the things that aren’t sensible for our
future and the things that we enjoy and could spend the rest of our life doing.
The time comes when the end is nigh and it feels as if we cannot go any
further. Then we remind ourselves that there is not much to go, and we might as
well complete it to the best of our abilities, like a sprint at the end of a
prolonged race.
Only at the end can we look back, see our
achievements and see the purpose of this thing we call the school. It is as if
a thick fog lifts from our minds, and we can see why we spent most of our
childhood enduring a school life. We perceive what we have learned and the
opportunities that it has created for us. But when the big wide world opens up
for us, and we see the true side of life, only then do we wish that we could
continue our lives the same way it used to be; where we learn and enjoy the
events that school life brings to us.
FREE BIRD TO FLY
College life is a very good phase of our life. We
miss those days when we all are a free bird to fly. That last day of college we
never forget.
Last day of college was filled with emotions,
memories. Today is our last exam and the last day of college. Everyone is
nervous about the exam and emotional. It was a mixed feeling. We enter the
college, the feeling was very different for all of us. Today we realize the
importance of college.
We all went to our exam halls. The exam started,
after the completion of exam we start creating the memories of this last day by
filling slam book and writing on a shirt, best wishes for each other. Today we
all realizing the importance of college and realize how precious is this
college and those days which we spent in college together. All started clicking
group photos more memories.
All remembering those days which spent together with
those lecture, function, celebrations, friendship, first meeting everything. We
talk to our teachers, click photos with them and thanks to them for their
contribution to our life. we all start the last journey of college, went to
each class, halls, labs, meet teachers, went to canteen were lunchtime was a
fun spot for all. Before this, we never thought that last day of college is
that important and precious for us and we take the admission in college we all
have never thought one day this college become the best place for us.
College life and college become the most important
and precious part of our life. After giving best wishes to all for their future
we started to move towards the college gate and seeing college for last time.
We all say goodbye to each other emotionally and promise to meet each other
again and always keep in contact with each other. Finally, say goodbye and
promise to come to visit the college again and moved towards their new life.
Today everyone is busy in their life but we still
talk about college remember those beautiful days. College life is a very good
phase in our life. We miss those days when we all are a free bird to fly. That
last day of college we never forget still we have those shirts which are
written by all and those best wishes still with us. No one can forget college
last day. You can say that a beautiful day or an emotional day. Everyone has
their definition for the last day of college.
