" My Last Day At School "


The twelfth of February 2013 , was my last day at school. I was full of mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. I was happy at the idea of freedom and preparatory holidays for full one month. I was sad at the thought of parting from my teachers, friends and Alma Mater.

We were asked to come to school at 2 p.m. on that day. All the students of the 10th class were well-dressed. Everybody appeared at his best. First of all, we were photographed. Then we had a sumptuous feast. It was given by the students of the IX class. All the teachers also were invited to the feast. We enjoyed it most heartily.

The feast was followed by songs and speeches. In their speeches, the Student made a promise to work hard and keep up the glorious traditions of the school. They assured the teachers that they would never forget their paternal love and kindness. The parting songs were very touching. They moved me to tears. Then a boy of the 10th class read out an address to the Headmaster.

The Headmaster gave a suitable reply to the address. All listened to him with rapt attention. There was a pin- drop silence. He "Students, make the best of the time at your disposal. Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best." His last words were, "Go out as torch-bearers of light and knowledge. Go out to serve your, country and fellowmen. Assert yourself. Go ahead and God will help you."

At Last , department of the school offered up a prayer for our success in the examination. It was followed by actual parting. The teachers stood in a line. We bowed low to all our teachers, paid them our last respects and homage, got their blessings and then parted with heavy hearts.
