SCHOOL IS MY PLAYGROUND
Before I entered the beautiful architectural building, I took a moment
to recap my high school years. I was definitely not an angel, but I had the
best 5 years of high school any young girl could ever ask for. The memories
flood my mind and soul. Thinking back to my first year in high school, made me
smile from ear to ear. I was almost late for my very first day at school. I remember it as if it was yesterday.
It
was also the very first broadcast of the rude awakening. A new voice to wake my
brain up, a new voice to lead to the time I have to leave home, to walk to
school. I was so drawn into the line-up of their show that I almost pooped my
pants when I checked the time. I grabbed my bag and ran. The high school was
not just up the road any more like my primary school was. It was at the very least double the distance.
As I ran, I saw busloads of children driving past me. I tried to keep up but they were too fast for
me. I ran into the school yard as the bell rang. I was totally out of breath
when I entered the gates of new opportunities, new vibe, new friends and a new
beginning. All my close friends had the opportunity to go to another school. I
begged my parents to allow me to go to the same school as my friends, but they
apologized and explained that there were no funds available to make this
possible.
