My School

Most schools look strange and sometimes even uncomfortable for newcomers, but they become dear and lovely for regular goers. You come to it a youngster of six, happy, shy, and full of expectations and you live it a grown-up person of seventeen. My first day at school remains an unforgettable event. I remember I felt awkward, shy, and almost frightened. My mom encouraged me; otherwise I would never come into that building. I decided I would try that new life, and I really loved it. Lots of friends, wonderful teachers and exciting activities – I found them all in my school.

The school building itself is of a typical design with classrooms, administrative offices, a dining room, gyms, a library as you can see in most other schools. The ground floor is given to junior children. During the breaks they run along the corridors making a lot of noise to which everyone has got used. We, senior students, have upper floors to ourselves.

I should say I’m privileged to study here. School provides a high level of education. I can’t say if there are some subjects where I achieved considerable results because I’m much at the same level in practically all subjects, but I’m afraid I’m not always successful in my studies. Sometimes I’m disappointed with myself or with my marks, sometimes I’m absent-minded, sometimes I neglect my study because of my numerous hobbies. But anyway, it’s important for me to make considerable progress in my study because I want to get a good education and become a highly qualified specialist. That’s why I try to work hard to improve my results. Now I really enjoy exercising my brain learning and doing. But school provides us not only with a certain amount of knowledge, it influences our views and outlook, forms our character to some degree. It’s also a place where we make our first friends and lifelong friendship, learn to value moral qualities in people and develop our talents and skills.

Our teachers are highly educated people. They are strongly devoted to their work. The atmosphere in our school is built on tolerance and mutual respect.

At our school we set up a kind of an independent state, Star, with the elected president. The pupils’ administration is responsible for arranging extra-class activities like concerts, debate clubs, sports competitions, excursions. These activities are popular with pupils and teachers and they help to create a kind of a team spirit among us.

But sometimes I feel fed up with school and want to be more independent, study only those subjects that I like and need for my future, have less homework

But sometimes I feel fed up with school and if I really had to make a change I would like a school to have more freedom and less homework. I think that much homework is bad, because we work six - seven hours a day and then we have to come home and work too. So, more should be covered in class.

Too much stress is put on the marks achieved and not the actual intelligence of the student. I would like the school to individually talk to the students and see their capability, and not just judge students on their marks.

We should be able to choose our careers and have subjects that specialize in them. Instead of studying things that won’t be worthwhile later on, we should have down-to-earth matters.

But anyway, I think school is a wonderful place. I’ll always look back at my school years as the happiest in my life.
