School is...

To me, school is not only just a school. Its like a second home to me. Its a place where it had accompanied me from the age of 5 to now 15,a total of 10years, from a merely childish kid to now a more mature person. It not only taught me the basic knowledge and education but most importantly, it taught me about life skills and different interacting skills.
I elieved that it would be useless if we dont know the real significance that school bears for us and wake up at wee hours in the morning and return late in the afternoon. School is like a science laboratory to me.Wen we are in school, we will be experimenting various ways to absorb knowledge imparted by the teachers to us and as well as how to interact with others without acutally offending others with our ignorant actions.We will have to learn how to socialise with different people with different character, background which will be rather beneficial to us when we go out to work in the society later.
I basically couldnt imagine the world without a School. Without school, there would not be education, no teachers who are just like our parents to guide us along in this path of life but most importantly, friends. To most of the pupils i believed, the main source of joy comes from their friends at school other than their academic achievements they achieved. I am no exception either, to me, the friends in school provide a source of support whenever i need them. Whenever i encounter problems in school, they would be the ones who are willing to lend me there listening ears for me to pour out my sorrows to. They are also a source of happiness to me when we chat, play, laugh together. School is a place to me where i truely understood the real meaning of friendship and happiness.
School also teaches me to have self-resilent, it teaches us how to make choices, how to make the correct ones. In every school,there are always some black sheeps lurking around and influencing each and everyone of us to commit mistakes and this really tests us of our moral intergity.
School not only tests me about knowledge but how to handle with things. For example, the tests and examinations held at school serves as a reminder for each and everyone of us to actually know when to work and when to relax as well. From failures and obstacles we encountered while studying, it actually builds up our character and each failure we experienced make us stronger each time. It inspires us to further buck up and perserve in order not to let the setbacks defeat us.
It also teaches us discipline, for example, we have the different rules and regulations that every student have to abide to. The rules serve as a guideline as what to do and what not to do, it also teaches us the principles that every action we did not only have an impact on the people around us but most importantly, US.
It also builds up the leadership qualities in us where most of us take over the postitions of our sec4 seniors and learns how to lead others as well as how to run the whole CCA.
