What is the age 14? This age is the age when you neither can play with your juniors or the seniors. The seniors tell you to go and play with juniors, and your juniors ask you not to play with them. What can you do at this age?

God has given you this year to think about your future, especially your studies. Why? Because you have Classes IX and X to forward to. In these classes, you will have no time to do any planning.

At 14, you can enjoy your life to your fullest because the coming two years might the ones of miserable non-stop studies.

Regarding studies, age 14 is ‘heaven’ and above it ‘hell’.

I have passed the age of 14.

I did not really think about many things but I did feel I had to do something for the two

persons who cared for me, and gave me what I desired.

For my father and mother — I had to study hard. Now, I am in ‘hell’ but am studying hard. I want to be something in life.

And I believe 14 is 0, 15 is 1, miseries are snakes, hard work is ladder and ambition is 100. — Kundan Joshi, Class-IX, GEMS
