School life is nearly at its end. Here and there people are beginning to become emotional. Every day, at least one of my friends confess to me that they cried the previous day. All feelings and emotions are running high.
The most worried and upset are the ones who had been studying in the same school right from the beginning, we, those who came in the middle are just feeling neutral. That’s life, we have to move on to bigger and better things. If we want to stay where we are, then we may lose the mysteries that life has in store for us, but that is a topic for another time.
Even in this melancholic atmosphere, one thing that everyone is interested and excited about is filling up each other’s slam books. It has become sort of a tradition amongst students in their last year. A year ago, rumour had it that our seniors were caught red-handed for writing things about the teachers in their slam books. The teacher found out what her students really thought of her,which, obviously, wan’t nice and they ended up in trouble.
Keeping this incident in mind, my classmates are careful enough to keep the ‘slam book operation’ a secret. I too had the opportunity to fill up my friend’s slam book. I am absolutely baffled as to where these people get ideas for questions! I started quite well, but soon enough, I was stuck. I didn’t know what to write. I turned the previous pages to see what others have written. (It wasn’t much help, I was on my own)
The question that really stumped me was: “I would like to own ______” It was a simple question but to me it seemed a tough ask. I kept wondering. A car? No, That’s not my style. I kept thinking for quite a long time, and then suddenly, it popped into my head. Why hadn’t I thought of it before? I wrote, “Four dogs”
Yes, that’s what I’d really like to own.
