My Last Day at School

The first and the last days at school are the unique significance for students. While the first day at school, may cause anxiety, fear, and nervousness, the last day is a day of hope, confidence, and preparedness. My last day at school is still fresh in my memory. I felt very relaxed because there was no teaching work that day. My heavy satchel was on my back at last. It was a big relief. I took the bus quite leisurely and got off at the school bus stop. I made my way through small groups of school fellows talking noisily and a good many embracing one another. Our juniors of the ninth class hosted a farewell party and entertained us with a variety of sweetmeats and tea. Our worthy headmaster and kind teachers also participated. Formal farewell speeches were made on the occasion. A boy sang a ghazal and delighted the audience with his melodious voice. Finally, the headmaster addressed the gathering and advised the students to work with devotion and be well-mannered to succeed in life. Before dispersing we thanked our juniors for their nice farewell.
