Hello dear Steemit friends. School life has surely been a true adventure for all of us, where little by little we learned the tools and skills necessary to navigate life and grow in knowledge and fundamental human values.

I still remember my first day of school at my town's primary school as if it were yesterday. Even though I arrived hand-in-hand with my siblings, who also studied there, I was filled with fear because I didn't know what to expect from my first time in school.

I clearly remember lining up before entering the classroom and then sitting in the back row for the same reason: the unfounded fear of the unknown. This anxiety dissipated when I saw that many children like me were in the classroom, eager to learn and share a meaningful and fun school experience.

As classes progressed, and with the assignment of homework and its successful completion, I gradually earned the respect and admiration of my classmates. I learned easily and stood out among them. By the end of the first week, I had already formed a group of friends with whom I shared both recreational time and school activities.

As a student, I felt fulfilled, satisfied, and very accepted. Spending an afternoon at school made me happy because I had so much fun with my friends, and the teachers, impressed by my good behavior and performance, gave me special treatment.

I remember my teacher, Felicita, who others considered very demanding and strict, but somehow she liked me a lot and trusted me greatly. Because of this, I was among her most diligent students, to the point that she once chose me to learn a speech and recite it in front of the entire school. I'll never forget that day because nerves got the better of me, and although I knew the speech perfectly, halfway through, I forgot it. Instead of reciting it from memory as planned, I had to read it.

Another teacher who imposed a lot of discipline on me from the moment I arrived at school was Morelia. I never stopped being afraid of her because it was strange to see her smile, and she didn't like to see us playing around.

A significant experience in my classroom occurred when one of my classmates stole a toy that another child had brought. While we were playing in the school's central courtyard, I saw him give it to his brother, who was in a higher grade than us.

When the teacher intervened to try to recover the lost toy, she searched all of us. When it was my turn, I told the teacher what I knew, even though that boy had threatened to have his older brother beat me up if I told anyone.

I have always been a firm believer in honesty and truth, and even though that older boy might try to hit me, I knew I had to be brave and report him because it was the right thing to do.

Today, I firmly and wholeheartedly uphold these values ​​and principles, learned at home and reinforced during my school years, and I know that thanks to them, my life has been more peaceful, upright, fair, and exemplary.

_{As a teacher, I know that school life is valuable./ @leonciocast / Apure-Venezuela / January 2026}
