This is the story of my first day at school as a parent. My elder daughter was hardly four years old, and it was her first day of school. It was my responsibility to drop her at school.
I was very excited and proud to take my little princess to school. She was equally excited to step out and enjoy her new freedom. She was well prepared with her school bag and tiffin. Dressed in her school uniform, she looked adorable. It was a proud moment for me—another milestone in the journey of life. My wife went to her office, and I was supposed to drop my daughter at school on the way to mine. With happy hearts, we started our short journey. The school was just ten minutes away. On the way, I kept telling her about the fun and joy she would experience at school.
When we reached the school, the scene was full of noise and chaos. Many children were crying loudly and trying to run away. For the teachers and staff, it was a routine sight, but for me, it was hard to accept. My daughter, however, was calm and eager to go inside the classroom. For a moment, I thought of taking her back home, but then I realized that she had to face the real world. I handed her over to the teacher. She was surrounded by crying children, some of them crying so much that they even started vomiting.
I consider myself emotionally strong, but that scene almost brought tears to my eyes. I became emotional and waited outside the school for an hour to make sure everything was fine. It was very difficult for me to control my emotions.
Many thoughts crossed my mind. Why did we choose this school? Should we allow our daughter to attend classes in such chaos? Would she be able to learn anything at all? I called my wife and shared everything with her. She laughed and told me that this was completely normal.
After that experience, I never went to drop my second daughter at school on her first day. It demands too much emotional strength.
Thank you, dear readers, for stopping by.
Stay happy and keep smiling 😊
