First Days in School

Holidays are nearing the homestretch.

It’s time for us to get back to school.

It’s also time to put together all the reading materials.

It’s time to part ways with friends living around the block.

How they made you feel during the holiday is quite memorable.

How you hang out with them, experimented with dangerous stuff and

lived life like there’s no tomorrow.

Those nostalgic moments are as a result of the fun times you had.

Now it’s almost that time you head back to academics.

Promise your friends to pass their regards to that harsh teacher in school.

Promise your parents that you’ll be obedient and hardworking in class.

They spent a fortune to get you to school.

You are the main reason they haven’t retired yet.

Peer pressure is common in school.

But son, remember that life is what you make it.

Don’t always want to fit in the popular.

They have a lot to loose.

Your future is bright.

Your dreams are valid, ask Lupita Nyong’o.

And if you ever think of quitting school, just think about life without education.

The hardships one goes through due to illiteracy are painful.

Education is the key to living a good life in future.

You ought to fend for your upcoming generation.

Be that kid that every parent is proud of.

Though first days in school are a bit challenging, remember success is as a result of patience.
