School

My journey throughout my school life was truly a journey to heaven.
Who said there’s no heaven on Earth? For me, my school was heaven.
Whenever I hear the word school, all those memories I had come rushing back before my eyes, like a beautiful rewind of time.

How can someone not fall in love with you, dear school?
You gave me everything—
All the courage to stand firm, no matter what happens in life.
The optimistic strength to stay calm, even in moments of failure.
You shaped me—from a kid to a tween, from a tween to a teenager, and finally, into a complete person.

And above all, you gave me some of the most precious people—my idiots—whom I’ll admire and cherish for my entire life. My platinums. 🤩🤩

Before we chose our distinct streams, we sang together, we danced together, we laughed endlessly.
Those smiles were the prettiest, the purest, the most heartfelt ones I’ve ever had.
We had loads of fun, held hands, and lived every moment to the fullest.
Where else could I ever find such priceless moments like the ones I had with my idiot friends?

My school is my nostalgia.
Sometimes, I wonder—does it still remember all the children it once had, or does it forget them as they leave? 🤔

School, you saw me at my best—when I stood proudly in first place.
And you also witnessed my worst—when I bunked classes and got caught by my teacher! 😅
You made me a better person.
So, whenever someone pats my shoulder for a good thing I’ve done, I can proudly say:
It’s my school and my teachers who taught me to become that person.

You’ve seen every side of me—
My victories and defeats,
My fun and excitement,
My misery and seriousness,
My playfulness and naughtiness—
You truly know every corner of me.

I ran and played on your grounds.
I came to you with tiny feet tapping the earth and left you with hurried steps—and somewhere between those moments, I grew up.

When farewell day came, I stood in the middle of the ground, looking around, and every memory I had with you replayed before my eyes.
For me, it felt like a dying moment—so hard to accept that I would no longer be a part of you.

You took me in crying on my first day,
and you left me weeping on my last. 💔

I entered school with an innocent, curious face, and I left with my favorite teachers, whom I’ll adore forever, four priceless friends, and thousands of memories I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Because of you, I met the most splendid friends—my lifelines—even though we now live miles apart.

And now I can confidently say:
Those homework assignments, daily slip tests, and exams were far simpler and more peaceful than these eight semesters and countless college assignments!

You are invaluable, cherished, irreplaceable, and forever a hilarious, golden chapter of my life. 😊🤗😚

I miss you.
I wish you were here with me right now.
