SCHOOL LIFE
I’ll always remember my first day,
A mix of nerves and excitement on display.
Clinging to my parents’ hands tight,
Not wanting to let go, not ready for the fight.
I made so many friends along the way,
Together we laughed, cried, and had our say.
We complained about school more than we knew,
Failing to see how soon it would be through.
The classrooms felt like cages, we longed to flee,
But now we realize it was the best time to be.
When the last day arrived, tears filled our eyes,
Shared looks expressed what words couldn’t describe.
I miss my school dearly, oh how I ache,
To relive those days, to make no mistake.
For school life, truly, is a treasure untold.

STUDENT LIFE
In vibrant corridors, where dreams are bold,
Students pursue wisdom, eager and untold.
With books in hand and laughter that shines,
We face late-night studies and early designs.
Friendships are built in the heat of the grind,
Precious moments shared, with worries intertwined.
Dreams take wing, buoyed by hope’s gentle lift,
In this collective journey, we navigate each rift.
Through challenges faced, our spirits remain high,
In this adventure of learning, we learn to soar and fly.

THE PATH TO SUCCESS
Everyone may point fingers at your dreams,
But don’t lose sight of your goals or your themes.
Ignore the noise of those around,
Focus on your aspirations, let fear drown.
Leave your doubts and concerns behind,
For success is gentle, if you’re aligned.
Strive towards your dreams, light the way,
Seek to inspire and brighten the day.
If defeat comes knocking, face it with grace,
Believe in yourself; it’s not a race.
Each step forward holds its own reward,
In the end, you’ll find peace, and you’ll be adored.
Work hard and earn the respect you’ll gain,
For the journey of success is never plain.
