There is no place like Scottish.

When people asked me why i wasn't sad about school getting over? Wasn't I going to miss school? Having everyone around me getting emotional, I didn't feel what they were feeling. I didn't feel that school was over, I didn't have that feeling which convinced me that I was never going to see any of them again, that feeling that it's all over here.
Everytime I just said,"I will, I will be really upset, I will realize that school is over the day I step into a new school, not seeing the same faces, the same corridors, the same classes, the same teachers, not singing the same prayer and school song everyday, not cribbing about going down for assembly every morning, not cribbing about saying the assembly where each one of us would embarrasses ourselves, not listening to Ashok bhayia's "Good morning" everyday, not being out in the hallway more than in the classroom, not making 10B the usual hangout class, not spending breaks with friends, not watching people
play basketball, not waiting for every SUPW/Lib period to have a free period, not waiting for every PT period which each student waited for a week, and which kept reducing throughout the years, not preparing for the annual concert which every student loved, which was the best time of the year, in where all the students put in all their hard work and put up and amazing show, not waiting for every sports day where we would cheer our houses, where at least, once a year, all the similar houses came together and had the green to win, not having the every Friday meet with your friends, not waiting for another 3 day trip which use to get all of us excited, so excited that some of us even forgot to get the proper uniform, when everyone reported to the school on time an lastly to end with, not having another farewell."
Now that I am in a new school, I realize that's no other place as Scottish. There's no other place like home. Scottish was home, our teachers were our mothers. For all those who hate Mondays for school, will miss them once they don't have school anymore. Spending 12 beautiful years in this school has made me realize that, no matter where I may go, no matter where I may be, I'll always take a part of Scottish with me and a bucket full of memories.
Scottish gave me the best of friends, gave me memories which I would cherish life long, the bonds which were unforgettable and unbreakable.
30 years from now, when I look back, I will be very proud to say, that yeah, I had the best school life and the best of friends. My friends were who made this journey remarkable for me. For those are the people who've made me who I am now.
Now that, I'm stepping into a new life, I will always cherish all the laughter, the tears, the anger, the separation, the I-don't-want-to-talk-to-you-phase, the love phase.
Scottish has made me what I am today.

Once a Scottishite, Always a Scottishite.
