As I did not go to the nursery, I arranged a great deal to go to school. Therefore, the very first day was a memorable day for me. I went to three schools because of job transfers of my father. So, I could get a different experience with various Places, Friends, and People.
These memories relate to my school journey. We did not go to the Nursery before going to School. I think that’s why my brain is a little bit more as I went straight to school. You also can understand when you are going through the blog right...?
The Reason! So, on those days I was keeping on asking for my mother that when we will go to school. My mother said to me it’s not essential much as nursery kids are getting advance education than their age. I think today kids are getting increasingly more propelled education amid their nursery time. But nowadays mothers are not in a position to reject even though the education stream has these conditions. At the point, when a child ends up three to four years of age, he/she ought to go to a nursery. Since mothers are also going to work, I think they feel a little solace by taking a gander at the security side of children when they are in the nursery. I believe it's an opportunity for sitters too when the child isn't at home for a couple of hours at home. So, they also would like to send the Kids outside for their relief. However, babysitting is not an easy task and, I’m not saying their feeling is wrong. As well as Parents also do not want to get rid off of the way in which that society used to go because of the high challenge in the education framework. Therefore, because of numerous reasons, nursery education has turned into an absolute necessity for now.
In those days, I remember that my parents gave me a lot of Craftwork to do. My mother asked me to draw pictures in drawing books and, I decorated or filled by gluing Dhal. I used to create new designs using sliced vegetables with coloring. I made different masks. We had the opportunity to do whatever we enjoyed. But in those days, there was a small yard in the house where the father got as quarters. So, I didn’t have enough space in the yard and played Games inside the house. The house was very near the road and the yard was a prohibited area to play.
So, I liked to go to school very much because of these reasons.
So, as a result of these reasons and, since I was born in the second month of the year, I could go to school when I was five years old. Children who born in the first month of the year also can go along with one year upfront and, it’s an advantage for them as they could save one year of time. Now, all the things like bags, books and, pencils were ready for my venture. Those kept as exhibition items in the living room. Only my uniform needs to be finished by my mother and, it was also almost finished. I did not have the patience to wear it.
That Precious Moment! So, that's the moment where my uniform was ready to wear and see. So, my mother cut some extra hanging strings and asked me to wear to make sure there are no loopholes. Then I wanted to show that now, I’m a schoolchild to my neighbors. Once I just wore the school dress, I rode the wall and jumped into the other quarters to show my story to ‘Kuruppu’ uncle who was one of our Neighbors. There were two more houses and, all those were given by the government as quarters for employees. ’Kuruppu’ uncle also one government employee who worked with my father. There was another uncle with ‘Kuruppu’ uncle in the same quarters and, I could not remember his name. All of them were my friends. Once I went there, I showed my school dress and, began to tell about the new chapter of my school venture.
Meanwhile, my mother was looking for me and asked me to come back home. Those two uncles also tried to send me back to the home. But I was staying there as there was a lot more to tell them. After a few minutes, ‘Kuruppu’ uncle dropped me at home as my mother kept on asking me to come back. So, you all can imagine what happened next right? Then I got Punishments for several faults I did. Escaping the house without informing, jumping from the wall, going to other houses pointlessly, were the main wrong things and, those were good enough for my mother to hit me. Finally, I had to face these incidents on the very first day when I wore my school dress. Later on, ‘Kuruppu’ uncle told me that ‘Child, don’t come here without the permission of your mother. Alright..’
So, after all those work my day came and, it was the time where I had to go to school. I was very happy and my parents came to hand me over.
There was walking distance to School and, we all three left to go to school. I saw some students on my way to school and, it made me happy. I could see that many students were going to school by wearing white school dresses. The only difference was I didn’t have a tie to wear at that time. They seemed very important to me as big ones. So, I left my parent’s hands and, took one of the elder sister’s hands. I was so happy and, I think they thought about me as a kid and, they accompanied me without any objections. Later on, my mother used to remember this incident for a few days saying that I forgot them after meeting other students.
First Day! On the first day once I went to class, what I noticed was, most of the students were knew about one another. I told this to my mother and, she said those would study in the same nursery. So, on the first day of school, I do not know anybody. But it was not a big problem for me and, thought that schoolyard and, the ground was enough for me. I was so cheerful about the space available in the school to play.
At night, I thought about how to play in the ground and how to play together with my friends. So, in the morning, I was ready to go without a trace. As well as I wanted to show that now, I’m a Schoolchild to others and, therefore I used to wear my school dress even after school. Every day my mother tried a lot to get it off. One evening I wore my school dress till evening once I got to know that one of my close relatives was coming to visit us.
A piece of sliced bread with strawberry jam and a bottle with a separately packed soft drink and water gave some extra inspiration to me.
Strawberry Jam and its smell reminded my grade, class one, always. Later on, I shared foods with my friends and, then there were different types of foods in my lunch box. There were some foods like 'Coconut Sambal' and Biscuits. Even my mother asked about these foods, she did not follow up much. On those days I would love to eat bread with 'Coconut sambal' and, I used to bring it via my friend as I did not have 'Coconut Sambal' much at home. Even though others tried to frighten me telling stories about stomach-aches with Warms as a result of this food, I used to keep this habit until that friend got angry with me for some obscure reason. Sometimes we did some activities by using our food. We took the design of chocolate biscuit and, glued it on the cream on the opposite side of the biscuit.
I could keep that day as a Memorable Day, as my father took some Photos of me and my mother. That photo showed the way we were returning home from school by hanging a bag on my right-hand side. Today, I can see how my friends are sharing photos of their kid's first day at school. Once they did, they instantly published the photos on social media.
But in our era, there should be a camera to take photos, and we need the support of a studio to clean the photos. It was not as easy as these days. So, I really appreciate that additional effort put by my father to take this photo for me.
I think my parents also happy like me and, that photo is proof. My father's effort and my mother's smile showed their Genuine Feelings.
That photo...
