Why Go To School? - Rishona Chopra

School. We all have heard about it. What is it? Why do we go there?

A school is where we learn, grow, and work on ourselves. Schools are not a building but are a  building made of education and life. Schools are a place full of knowledge where students learn under the guidance of teachers. They are more than just academics. They focus on making us a good person, an actual human.

Schools are for us to grow and enhance our area of excellence. Therefore, every event in school, every day when we have fun playing games, is probably the best.

I am usually an earnest person, always wanting to do a test (which no one likes). So on the last day of 5th grade, I just had so much fun. With no study and no study, just fun. What made that day even more special was our Principal Ma'am's birthday on that day. So we gave her a card, and we even got toffees! Such small events are so joyful and make the school the best place.

To conclude, school is not just a building but a haven of education, friendship, and happiness.

Friendship - Vihaan Bisht

Friendship is one of the most incredible bonds anyone can ever wish for. Friends have immense care and support for each other. My best friend is Shlok. We both have lots of fun together. We invite each other to our birthdays, but that’s not the only reason why I consider him as my best friend. He is my best friend because he is very kind and he never talks rudely to me. He helps me when I am in a problem. He shares his things with me. What I like most about him because he never thinks that if he helps me, I will also do something in return for him. So a best friend isn’t someone who looks good, but who is at heart. A true friend helps his friend when he is in trouble. I also admire him for his politeness and calmness.

During Corona, we weren’t able to see each other. Lockdown was there, and our school got shut, but now the school is reopening, so I hope to see my best friend again from April.

True Friendship - Aiyra Jain

There was a boy named Aryan. He had a friend named Omran. They had a strong friendship. One day they went to Oliva's birthday party. Oliva was their classmate; she loved Omran but not Aryan. After an hour, she saw that Aryan and Oman were best friends. She decided to break their friendship. She snuck into Aryan's home and cleverly took the phone and sent a few furious videos of Omran to her email ID. She showed them to Omran at lunch, who was shocked and stopped talking to his best friend! Seeing that, Aryan stopped eating. Looking at his condition, his parents took him to another city and settled there. 

He transferred to a new school and made a new best friend,' Aditya'. His new best friend was very caring. Their friendship was more robust. By chance, Omran learned what Olivia did and found Aryan. He got to know about Aryan's new best friend. He realised his mistake and moved on.

True Happiness - Ronak Devda

On the occasion of Guru Purnima, there was a worship in Lord Hanuman Temple. On this occasion, kheer, puri, and a vegetable were made as prasad and offered to everyone who visited the temple. A group of people performed bhajans, and little children enjoyed listening to them. It was like a small treat for the poor children who lived nearby. The children who usually expect sweet dishes at some festival in their homes enjoyed them there. This was arranged by my family. Many times to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or other occasions, we spend a lot of money on parties and hotels. I feel great happiness giving small treats to the needy ones and seeing big smiles on their faces. Further in the future, we will try to arrange these types of treats to have smiles on their faces.

Kindness and Happiness - Laxman Parmar

Within my 17 years of birthday celebrations, I felt like changing my usual way of celebrating this time. Instead of wasting money on cakes and cold drinks, I went to an ashram in Sheoganj, where I found many aged people with some mental issues. I felt pity for them, but I had the last idea about the reason for their mental issues.

Diverting my mind from the sadness, I decided to give them a short phase of joy. I did my cake cutting and served food to all of them, and was overwhelmed on seeing the joy on their faces as it was perhaps their first time they did the birthday cake cutting with someone.

After all the celebration, I received so many expensive gifts from them in the form of kind blessings, then I had to leave them with a goodbye and some beautiful lifetime memories.
