School life is the foundation for our education. What we
learn at school leaves a life long mark on our lives and it’s our school life
that makes or mars our career. However sometimes we learn a great deal from our
friends, relatives and sometimes total strangers. I too learned the important
lesson that taught me the importance of spending time with someone who cares
for us and has genuine concern for us. I realized this when I was facing a lot
of hardships in my school and then I discovered the power of being together and
how it helped me overcome a very big hurdle of my life. My early schooling
began in a Hindi medium school. Though I was not a topper yet I could manage to
pass all my tests and exams with good marks. When I moved to class six my
parents shifted me to an English medium school. The school was very reputed and the teachers
were very good .However I was having a very difficult and hard time coping with
my studies in the English medium. I started feeling that I would never be able
to complete my studies and it would be impossible for me to cope with my
education in this new school. I was feeling very low and left out. As it was
the summer season the school soon closed for the summer break. However for me
there was no vacation like activity in my life. I tried to study hard but all
the books being in English ,I could not understand the subjects .This made me
very desperate. Then one day while I was sitting on my garden swing feeling
very sad and lonely then a neighboring lady who was a good friend of my mom
saw me sitting like this and came up to me. She lovingly put her hand on my
head and asked me why I was so sad. Even though she had known my mother for
quite some time but she had never acted so lovingly with me. That sudden loving
touch made my emotions flow and I told her everything . In the course if this
conversation I found her to be a very warm person and she assured me that she
would help me in my time of trouble. From next day onwards she started devoting
her time in teaching me English. In the time that I spent with her I found all
my troubles vanish just by being #together with her. Actually she was
not just teaching me English instead she was filling me with a lot of hope and
optimism to deal with my studies and my future .She always said that I would
do very well in my studies. I started spending time with her and found a new
ray of hope and optimism lighting up my life thanks to this aunt of mine. By
the time my school reopened I had got a
good grasp on English and even studied a few chapters of each subjects. More
than the studies I had become filled with hope and optimism towards the future.
From that year onwards I started doing very well in my studies. Even today when
I look back at my life I have fond memories of spending time with a person who
filled my life with hope, optimism and cheer. I attribute all this to the time
of togetherness that I spent with my aunt.
#together
