School life is a wonderful phase. Some enjoy it and some tolerate it. Everyone has something to say about the school s/he has been to. Even our parents tend to get excited when the matters of school are discussed. “Of course, the school days were the best days ever spent,” is the sentiment our elders often express.

I am in Class IX and have been in the same school for 12 years. It goes without saying that school has had a great effect on me.

My personality and character have been formed by my experiences in the school. Living in the company of friends for so many years has helped me enormously. I have learned to give and to share. I have had early first experience of what it means to live within a community. I use to be an extremely shy person and found it difficult to make friends. I do not have such difficulties any more. I have developed self-confidence and now find it much easier to get acquainted with the people.
