What did you get out of going back in time last summer?
As I was to forfeit my whole summer holiday to go back to school, I
was hoping to learn something interesting from it, not just the
regular techniques of maths equations and what verbs are, but also
something else. I learned a lot whilst I was there about the Indian
mutiny and such things, although I did fail it in my O-levels, but I
also learned what is more valuable - about people, friends and
family. I met a group of fantastic people at the start of the school
term and I lived with them as a family. I would say that's quite a
lot to learn about in just four weeks.
Since the term has finished, we have all had different reunions to
attend, and everyone has gone out of their way to get to them. We all
have become great friends, and are willing and able to go to such
lengths of travelling to and from places all over the country to see
each other. I hope we will all stay in contact for a long time, with
such modern items as mobile phones and e-mail, and be able to leave
the 1950s where they should be, and should always remain.
