Greetings,

Thank you so much for participating in the contest.

By reading your post, I felt that it was not just a story about school memories, but a beautiful reflection of emotions, love, and valuable life lessons that gently took me back to the 1970s.

Your strong desire to go to school at such a young age and your longing to stay close to your sister feel very childlike and full of affection. The principal’s exceptional decision clearly shows how a small, humane act can have a lasting impact on someone’s life journey.

Your love and gratitude for your kindergarten teacher highlight the true importance of teachers in our school lives. Through your memories, it becomes very clear how deeply a good teacher can influence a student and shape their confidence and personality.

In reality, many school friendships drift apart over time due to different life circumstances. That’s why your friend’s life story felt a bit sad to me. Still, your affection for her is very evident, and it’s clear why she continues to live in your heart even today.

What I appreciated most is that you didn’t only learn from teachers, but also from a cleaning staff member. Learning such important life lessons from her is truly remarkable. I completely agree with you, it proves that learning can happen anywhere, and anyone can become our teacher.

I do have one question, though. Is the school’s infrastructure still the same as it was in your time, things like the canteen, cafeteria, auditorium, and the overall school complex?
