                           School activities and memories

School days are the halcyon days of every one’s life. Once gone, they never come back. As one grows old one loves to remember them in his/her leisure. The most memorable activities are fun and play activities done with classmates.
I also remember activities such as games period fun, hanging around the canteen during the break, excursion, picnics, inter ­house activities and contests, annual day preparations and performances, exhibitions, etc. I think I will never lose their magic until the end of life. The unpleasant memories related to academics also chase me for a long time. Low grades in the terminal exams and tests, parent teacher meeting days, punishment days, etc. all haunt my mind. I should cherish school memories.
The school days were the golden days of my life. I used to never the miss school. I loved to study all the subjects But Math was my favourite. I took part in all the competitions and won many trophies.
The greatest memory is the day when I won a gold medal for my school at National level in 900 m race. My Principal and  teacher were very proud to introduce me as their student.
I am an truthful and successful person in my life. And it is all due to the efforts of my teachers. My respect for them can never fewer.
