The life journey of a child starts at his birth. When a child is born, he has no knowledge of the outside world and of the difficulties and obstacles the life is full of. The child totally depends on his parents for the fulfilment of all his needs. Initially the child does not know how to talk or walk. The parents are responsible for feeding the child, bathing the child, etc. Slowly with the passage of time the child learns how to eat, speak, walk and run. He becomes interested in listening to stories from his parents and grandparents and learning about the moral values and the customs, traditions and culture of his family.
When a child becomes three to four years old, the parents put the child in a play school. In the play school, the child gets involved in lots of physical and creative activities which play an important role in his development. Initially the child does not enjoy going to school but with the passsage of time, the child enjoys mixing up and playing with other children of his own age. In the play school, he learns the basic writing and speaking skills which is the beginning of his education.
After the play school, the child is put in a primary school where his proper education starts. The child starts attending regular classes. He follows the rules and norms of the school which make the child more regular, punctual and disciplined. Nowadays, most of the education institutions focus equally on studies and extra curricular activities. The child takes part in various competitions, sports meetings, educational tours and picnics organised by the school which play an important role in developing the feeling of cohesion, team work and cooperation among the students. Maturity starts developing in the child and he is able to differentiate between what is right and wrong and take decisions himself.
A student has various duties. He has his duties towards his parents above everything else. He must never forget their love and encouragement, their hardship and sacrifice that lie behind his success. So a good student should perform his duties to his parents. He also has his duties towards his brothers, sisters and friends. They demand from him no more than love and some occasional presents. A student is the future citizen of the country. He must educate himself and be ready to take up his duties.
A student also has his responsibilities. These should be directed towards his neighbourhood and towards his country. He should try his best to keep his neighbourhood clean and happy. He should not be niggardly in helping others with money, physical labour or brain power.
With the passage of time, the mental as well as physical abilities of a student go on increasing. As he grows up, he gains more experience and comes to know about about the outside world. He learns how to interact with others. When a student passes class X, he has to decide the stream in which he wishes to continue his studies. It is one of the most important decisions of student life. Most of the students who have a keen desire of taking admission in a good college or institute start preparing for the entrance examination of the same from class XI onwards. Two years later, after appearing for the final exams of class XII and the entrance examination for admission in a good institute, the students eagerly wait for the results of the same. When the results are declared, the hardworking students become happy by securing good marks and getting admission in a good college. Now a new phase of student life, that is, college life starts.
In short, a student’s life is all about a lot of discipline and hard work punctuated by ecstatic moments of fun and enjoyment. This period of life is the most wonderful period – full of spontaneity, dreams and hope.
