Farewell

Yesterday, in my school, students from IXth Grade and XI Grade, teachers and Principal gave us farewell, (we have our high school exams this March), my mother asked me how was it. I did not know how to respond, they performed a small havan for us, they danced and sang for us.

Frankly I was irritated, I did not know what to make of it, they danced very badly. I only liked one of my classmate friends speech where he confessed to all the mischief he had been upto. He confessed to breaking benches , he confessed to stealing the attendance register, he confessed to breaking wash basins in the toilet etc. etc. I really felt bad as one of our teachers cried that we would be leaving school, for the first time I felt depressed and did not like leaving school. I shared these feelings about the farewell with my mother and she said a term,'rite of passage' I asked her what that means and she asked me to look into the dictionary I did, it means, ' an official ceremony of informal activity, which marks an important stage or occasion in a persons life especially becoming an adult' Wow how complicated life is. I hope my friends read this too, what happened yesterday and my irritation was probably because I also knew that I would be leaving school, and would never go back to school again, I hope I keep in touch with all my school friends.
