All of you at this moment must be experiencing mixed emotions-pain of leaving your previous class, friends and teachers, the joy of getting promoted to the new class and excitement to face the upcoming future.
I, being the Head girl of the school, can assure you that your journey from now onwards will be an enriching one with a lot more opportunities knocking at your doorsteps. Teachers are there to help you and guide you with the best of their abilities, seniors to assist you with their experience and friends and juniors to cheer you up.
It is always an emotionally difficult moment to bid farewell to something or someone with whom you are associated with your heart and soul. Like our parents, who have nurtured us from our very infancy, our school also has a great role to play in defining who we are. For fourteen long years, it has nurtured us carefully so that we might become responsible citizens of tomorrow. And to be invited to share the memories on the occasion of the farewell is a special honour that shall be cherished forever.
I joined ABC Public School right in Nursery and since then it has been a long journey. As I was very small at that time, very few things are remembered but some special memories linger. For example, the long lunch break that was spent in playing games and the eagles swooping down to snatch our food as well as the kind teachers with an occasional severity, when we were mischievous. All of us shall never forget the enthusiasm during the inter school tournaments, hockey, cricket, football, basketball and athletics, when all of us were pumped up with energy, or the long hours of practice in preparation for the Annual Sports, Quiz and Debate Competitions.
None of us can ever forget the fun we used to have when teachers went to attend meetings and the senior students used to come over and manage the classes and also the time when we did the same. All of us looked forward to these opportunities because they helped us to bond with our seniors and juniors and has immensely contributed to the learning and sharing process. This is a wonderful tradition that has been kept alive by generations of students who have been part of this hallowed institution.
Our school has not only helped us to learn from books but has also taken care to enhance our skills, based on the individual aptitudes of each student and through a scientific approach.
Thus, all the students who go out into the larger world after the initial years, are equipped in every sense of the term-be it with superior language and communication skills, computers or the lab-based subjects-through continuous field-trips, laboratory and library work as well as hands-on training programmes. All these have combined together to foster a spirit of experiential learning. Consequently, a lot of values have also been instilled in us as a result. We have all realised the importance of punctuality, of team spirit, of the importance of learning something thoroughly before applying it and the importance of showing respect in order to gain respect. In fact, one of my most memorable moments was when I learnt this lesson.
This incident occurred when I was in Class 8. One of my seniors got punished for not being able to answer a simple question and I happened to laugh at him for it. The very next moment, the teacher gave me the same punishment and then I was laughed at. At that moment I learnt, albeit the hard way, how important it is to show respect in order to gain respect. And I thank not only that particular teacher but all the teachers throughout my school life for rectifying me whenever I have erred. They have been second parents to me. Their admonishments were as important as the love they showered on us. It also an important message that I would like to pass on to my juniors before leaving my second home.
As for our future, all of us have different individual plans. Some will prepare for engineering, some for medical, some will try to join the defence forces and others will try to pursue professional and academic careers as per their liking. We don't know where we will reach in the end but we will never be able to deny the influence of our school in shaping us and our lives.
Finally, I would like to this opportunity thank our Principal, administrators, all the teachers, staff members and all my juniors for this wonderful opportunity to express not only my views but also the views of the entire batch and listening to me patiently
